Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he is keen to speak to his engineers after being called in earlier than he had expected for his second pit-stop at the Monaco Grand Prix.

"It was easy for me to maybe push a bit harder and to touch the barrier and maybe to crash or push Fernando into a mistake, but that would have been a negative on the team. Coming into the season, I expect to be the number two driver. I am a rookie, it is my first season, and I am just pleased to be here. It is really is a great feeling for me to be sitting next to these drivers and still living my dream and to be on the podium in all five of my first grands prix... I hope to continue like that."

Pushed a bit harder, however, the slightest hint of frustration at still having to claim his first F1 win became apparent.

"I've got number two on my car, I am the number two driver, it is something I have to live with. ." he noted, "At the end of the day, I am a rookie. I am in my first season in Formula One and I have finished second in only my first Monaco Grand Prix, so I really can't complain, but to see that I am of a similar pace to Fernando is a positive for me."
