Lewis Hamilton won the Monaco Gran Prix. It was one of the best

Monaco GP I've seen. It started off raining, then dried off. That made for some heavy duty tire strategies. Hamilton went with a conservative pick of rain tyres. As soon as the groove dried, he went with dry tires and the rest is history. It was a smart race.
He is now points leader in Formula 1. His rookie year he finished second overall in points. He's just a kid and on his way to being one of the greats.

Let's go party: Hamilton wins Monaco GP, takes F1 points lead


MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) -- Lewis Hamilton overcame an early accident and wet conditions Sunday to win the Monaco Grand Prix and take the lead in the Formula One standings. The McLaren driver, who started third on the grid, finished 3 seconds ahead of BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica, while pole sitter Felipe Massa of Ferrari was third at Formula One's most famous race. "This is going to be the highlight of my career," Hamilton said after giving McLaren its 15th win in 26 races in the principality. "I stayed optimistic and brought it home. It was the most fun I've had in a race, ever."

1. We watched, it was a great race!

Any word on whether Kimi will be penalized for crashing into the back of Vettel? That was so unfortunate for Vettel, but it didn't seem to be through recklessness on Kimi's part.

2. It appeared he lost traction on a dip in the road. It was unavoidable.

Still, I feel for Vettel.
