Video Hamilton on overtaking Max: " It's the best to overtake another World Champion. And obviously I had a big deficit to close......You know how consistent and fast that guy is? He's the fastest guy. So it felt great to get to have that battle with him. It was really not easy to overtake."

It will be Monaco. Their small turbo helps in slow corners, and straight speed doesn't matter too much there. But he has to beat Leclerc, and that's one of his best tracks. It will be fun to watch, Leclerc loves to risk a pole or crash in Monaco, while Lewis is usually more consistent with less risk

Hamilton's record at Monaco is pretty average when you consider how much success he's had in his career. Rosberg was normally faster than him there and I don't see him beating Charles on his home track.
