Hamilton: Two pit stops will add an element of lottery to the race

      In Sunday's race in Monaco, the drivers will have two mandatory pit stops. Lewis Hamilton hopes that this will make the race rich in events with a lottery element.

      Lewis Hamilton: "I think the two pit stops will make the race more interesting than last year. Last year, the safety car took to the track on the second lap, everyone changed the tires and drove more than 70 laps on one set, so nothing happened in the race.

      Two mandatory pit stops will add an element of lottery, but on this type of track this is exactly what you need, because it is impossible to overtake here.

      I'm wondering how it's going to go. I decided to keep two Hard sets for the race, and Charles – two Medium sets. I hope that my decision will be beneficial, but the two McLaren drivers also have two Hard sets left, so it will be difficult to fight them.

      I do not know what strategy the opponents will choose, but in Monaco it is important to be patient and focus on your own race. That's why I kept two Hard sets for myself. I hope it will give me additional opportunities."
