Lewis Hamilton describes the Monaco Grand Prix as a lifelong dream, despite having raced in Monte Carlo since the mid-2000s. Driving in the Mediterranean city of Monaco is a surreal experience for the seven-time world champion. Hamilton, who always dreamed of racing on the same tracks as his idols, feels immense joy every time he drives through the historic streets of Monte Carlo. The street circuit, with its tight corners and narrow roads, presents a physically and mentally challenging round in Formula 1. Hamilton remembers the first time he drove on the streets of Monaco at 18 and was completely fascinated by it. Today, he feels grateful to be one of the privileged 20 drivers who have the opportunity to race on this iconic track.
Despite his team’s recent struggles on the track, Hamilton’s love for Monaco remains unwavering. Over the years, with 103 victories and a world record on his resume, he still faces the historic track with the same passion and enthusiasm. Reflecting on his experiences, Hamilton recalls the impressive view of the harbor and the rich history surrounding Monaco. As a child, he watched the races on TV and dreamed of passing through the famous tunnel. Now, as an experienced driver, he feels blessed to be living his childhood dream.
