Starting from 19th on the grid after a precautionary overnight gearbox change, Lewis was always going to struggle to overtake cars around the twisting streets of Monte-Carlo. His early struggle for pace was exacerbated by damage to a front-wing footplate, caused after he tangled with Nick Heidfeld at Ste Devote in the early laps. Lewis was unable to finish higher than 12th. Jenson Button, the Wunderkind this season, had no issues with his car, taking another title and extending his lead to 51 points ahead of his team mate Barrichello, who has 35 points. This sure is a disappointing season for Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes, with Hamilton in 9th place with 9 points. Keikki is on the 13th spot, with only 4 points. Congrats to Jenson for another great win.
