Lewis Hamilton thanked several people recently for supporting him in Monaco. Notably, his ‘fans’ are some high-profile celebrities who were in attendance to back him and Mercedes F1. Unfortunately, the Monaco GP did not turn out as Lewis must have hoped for, who could only manage a P8. Moreover, his race grew into displeasure and frustration with Fernando Alonso blocking him throughout.
With fan hopes increased since the Spanish GP, many expected Mercedes drivers to perform on this track. However, Hamilton could only qualify for P8 after a major collision between front-running rivals caused a hindrance. The Red flag came out as the Briton could not improve on his previous time, while George Russell sneaked into the top 6.

Moreover, the 37-year-old was sandwiched between old rivals Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel. As expected, the race was not one Hamilton hoped for, as he struggled to get past Alonso. The Spaniard arguably slowed down the whole midfield for quite a while with his pace and defensive skills.
