13:07 – Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton says the Monaco Grand Prix is “all about mental strength” as he bids for a third Formula 1 victory in the Principality.
Hamilton won wet/dry Monaco races in 2008 and 2016, and also controlled proceedings in 2015, before an erroneous late pit-stop dropped him to third.
Hamilton is wary of the need to build up pace over the course of the weekend – with track action commencing on Thursday morning – and hopes experience will aid his progress.
“The most important thing is that you have to learn to walk before you run,” Hamilton commented.
