Remember the first time?

40

Amazingly 2016 is only the second time that Lewis Hamilton has won in Monaco. The first time came in 2008 when he pipped Robert Kubica and Felipa Massa to the chequered flag. It was his second season in Formula One with McLaren, and the season would end with Hamilton claiming his first world championship title as well.

Does this weekend's triumph in a hard-fought Monaco Grand Prix over Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo signal the start of a similar charge to the championship crown in 2016? We'll have to wait and see, but Monaco is a great place for Lewis to get his first win of the season.
