The start of the Monaco GP weekend is right around the corner. As the world awaits the unfolding of yet another iteration of the iconic race, Lewis Hamilton reminisced on his fond memories of the Principality. In a snippet of an interview uploaded by @fiagirly on X, Hamilton reflected on his first visit to Monaco.
As a 13-year-old, he was left awestruck by the beauty that made him vow to one day live there. He said, “I first came here when I was 13 and that really opened my mind. That became a dream.
I was like, okay, this is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. This is where I want to live.” Hamilton then recalled the first time he raced in Monaco as a 19-year-old in Formula 3.
“I had a little scooter that I rented and I was running around the town, got to up to the Ayres, and it was just epic,” he added. Looking back at his first F1 Monaco GP, Hamilton remembered recognizing only Martin Brundle on the grid. Incidentally, Lewis Hamilton went on to win the race when he first raced in Monaco as an F3 driver.
In a recent Instagram post , he remembered how surreal the experience was and dubbed it the ‘best weekend of his life’. The seven-time F1 champion also expressed his gratitude for where he is and reiterated that he does not take his stature in the sport for granted. Sadly, the charm of the Monaco GP is beginning to lose its sheen on the F1 fans.
The track is too narrow for the drivers to make overtaking maneuvers . That makes for dull races as most of the.
