Lewis Hamilton has revealed the treacherous conditions he faced during the rain-soaked Monaco Grand Prix, stating that it felt as if he was driving on “ice” and came close to a “big shunt” due to the lack of grip on the track.
The Monte Carlo street race, initially proceeding in a processional manner, was abruptly thrown into chaos when rain showers intensified on lap 51. As the drizzle transformed into a downpour, the drivers, still equipped with slick tires, found themselves struggling to maintain control on the increasingly slippery surface. With uncertainty surrounding the duration and intensity of the rain, the primary objective became surviving the challenging conditions.
