Kimi Raikkonen's thoughts at Monaco

Maranello, 19th May 2009 - It’s always a very special week, the one of the Monaco GP. It’s a unique track where the qualifying is more important than on the other tracks and we have to try to implement it in the best possible way, learning from the lesson we were taught recently.

Hamilton returns to winning ways

• Hamilton scores first victory since October• Raikkonen faces steward inquiry over crashLewis Hamilton produced a faultless display in Hungary to claim his and McLaren's first grand prix victory of the season, ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull's Mark Webber.The reigning formula one world champion began the race in fourth place on the grid, but made a superb passing move on Webber to take second place after five laps, before the leader Fernando Alonso went into the pits after claiming pole position with a light fuel load.Alonso was forced out of the race shortly after his pit stop, when a problem with his right front tyre saw it fly off the Renault and bounce down the track. It was a worrying moment in the race, thoughts of Henry Surtees' tragic death and Felipe Massa's accident on Saturday inevitably coming to mind.But Hamilton, who assumed the race lead when Alonso pitted, maintained his composure to produce the kind of race that have made him one of the most respected drivers on the grid.There were few threats from other competitors, and he crossed the finish line 70 laps later with Raikkonen and Webber taking second and third positions.A naturally delighted Hamilton said: "It's an incredible feeling to be back here after what feels such a long time away and given the struggles for my team. But I'm so proud of them. They've never given up, which is so rare to see in a large group of people."We didn't expect to win this weekend. Naturally we've caught up, but we didn't think we had the pace, so it's very special to win this one."Raikkonen could yet be stripped of third following a first-corner collision with Sebastian Vettel that is to be investigated by the stewards.Webber closed the gap to Jenson Button at the top of the driver's standings to 18.5 points. The world championship leader had his worst result of the season in the Brawn GP car, finishing in seventh place.Result1 Lewis Hamilton2 Kimi Räikkönen +11.5 secs3 Mark Webber +16.8 secs4 Nico Rosberg +26.9 secs5 Heikki Kovalainen +34.3 secs6 Timo Glock +35.2 secs7 Jenson Button +55.0 secs8 Jarno Trulli +68.1 secs9 Kazuki Nakajima +68.7 secs10 Rubens Barrichello +69.2 secsOverall standings1) Jenson Button 702) Mark Webber 51.53) Sebastian Vettel 474) Rubens Barrichello 445) Nico Rosberg 25.56) Jarno Trulli 22.57) Felipe Massa 228) Lewis Hamilton 199) Kimi Räikkönen 1810) Timo Glock 16Formula OneLewis HamiltonJenson ButtonMotor sportBrawnMcLarenFerrariRed BullRenaultguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
