Hamilton says that it was a collective decision for him and his team mates to pit as they thought that their rivals had also pitted.

Lewis Hamilton says that he thought Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg were also making pit stop for new tyres in the closing stage of the Monaco GP. This was the major cause for his loss in the Monaco GP.

This formula 1 champion had a clear advantage at the end of the field but making a pit with 13 laps for him to go was a mistake. Hamilton said that a look at one of the side screens on the track made him think that his rivals were also making a pit stop. He said that he relies on the team and when he saw a screen out, he thought that the other racers were also making a stop.

On the other hand, he could not see the guys behind him which made him think that they were also making a pit. His team had asked him to stay out but he thought that his tyres would fall in temperature; they said that he should pit and he was confident that other racers had also made a pit.

Even though Hamilton says he has not contacted the strategists, his team also shoulders the blame as they had miscalculated the gap between Hamilton and the other racers.

Lewis had a flawless drive and made delivery to a perfect weekend with a masterful race and a pole lap. There is not much to this loss but congratulate him for the grace he handled the situation with.

Hamilton came in third behind Rosberg and Vettel even though he had a faster and fresher car; he was unable to go past the Ferrari driver. Overtaking on Monaco is difficult but Ted Kravitz would not comprehend as to why he gave up his track position.

Kravitz said that even if Vettel had made a stop, Mercedes would still have the track position. He believes that track position it king and even when on quicker tyres, Vettel would not be in a position to go past like Hamilton was unable.
