Lewis Hamilton: "Yeah, I mean everyone says Charles [Leclerc] is the fastest over a single lap so to.. I think though I've kind of proven I have done pretty good laps in my lifetime, so and obviously hopefully you can see I still have the pace, I still have what it takes to win and compete so yeah, to be at his home track here to be slightly ahead I think is positive but it's one place and ultimately we as a team want to be first and second."
[Question asked: As a driver you always want to beat your teammate even if Pole's not there, so is that almost a little win for you that you were able to be ahead of Charles on a circuit that he is so good at?]
Leclerc will make sure to stay back while Lewis fights the front two and then use all his effort on overtaking Hamilton once his tyres are cooked.
We know what he is
i’m telling you now, lewis is gonna have to fight for every inch during the race because leclerc won’t back off and max + kimi in front is a disaster waiting to happen
Jacky Ickx is in the paddock today, the former Ferrari driver who said: "If you refer to Lewis, for me, he is a unique driver. It is like Senna, you have Max, you have Michael Schumacher and Fangio in the early days - these people have a little plus compared to the others. But to me, he [Lewis Hamilton] is a double plus because he is a very human person who never feared to get involved in Black Lives Matter for example."
"He is the only one I know today who involves himself totally in something, and maybe that quality is something even more impressive than the first one when you see what he does, what he cares about with his foundation."
"Nobody has done that before."

You can't build a serious economy on malls, fintech, tenders and imports.
We need factories, farms, mines (which also link to beneficiation), refineries, rail, ports, engineers, nuclear plants, artisans, workers.
"Faz dois finais de semana que estou com problemas do meu lado da garagem. Enfim, não sei se são problemas ou características de algo em particular, o que faz com que eu tenha muita, muita dificuldade.
Eu não tinha referência quando cheguei na classificação, estava sempre procurando por elas, e isso mudava de volta para volta. Havia muita inconstância no comportamento do carro. Eu forcei na última volta, deu tudo certo até a curva onde acabei batendo.
Quando cometo um erro e a culpa é minha, eu digo sem nenhuma vergonha. Mas hoje, foi uma combinação de fatores."
The last time Lewis Hamilton started P3 behind a Red Bull and a Mercedes in Monaco...
He's taken 2 of his 3 wins in the principality from that positon.
