Hamilton suggests he "didn't find it frustrating" stuck behind Alonso
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso weren't at the front of the race but they did create a talking point during the race. Alonso didn't have strong pace, but he opened up his elbows and made it impossible for Hamilton to overtake. At one point after the second restart, Alonso had a 40 second gap between himself and Lando Norris ahead.
Not frustrating
But the seven-time World Champion reveals it didn't frustrate him during the Monaco Grand Prix. The 37-year-old has been in Formula 1 for long enough to understand this kind of example in Monaco. In the end, Hamilton stayed in eighth place.
"Who knows? Might have been able to jump..... I don't know. It definitely didn't help being stuck behind both of them. Honestly, I didn't find it frustrating. It is what you expect around here in Monaco. I knew once I qualified behind one of them that it would be like that," Hamilton told Sky Sports.
Hamilton, who lost further ground on George Russell in the World Championship, admitted he was hoping the rain would open up more chances. He goes went on to say "you live and learn and move on."
