MONACO: Lewis Hamilton's individual ability 'saved' Mercedes and delivered the team's emotional tribute victory to Niki Lauda at Sunday's dramatic Monaco Grand Prix, according to team chief Toto Wolff.
"Under-steer resulted from the graining and it was clear it would be very, very difficult to make it to the end. Hamilton secured his third Monaco victory career 77th by resisting every attack from Verstappen, behind him on hard tyres, with one of the greatest stints of defensive racing ever seen on the unforgiving streets of the Mediterranean circuit.
"Nothing he can say, or anyone can say, or do to help - it was all down to me to bring it home for the team and for Niki. The just felt immense." "Even in qualifying, he wasn't the fastest guy, but he got the pole," said the 2016 champion."Today, he was massively struggling out there, but Lewis just managed it in a world champion?s manner and even fended off that challenge from Max Verstappen in a proper way."
