LONDON. — Lewis Hamilton says his Monaco Grand Prix victory means the world Formula One championship fight is “alive”, after he cut Nico Rosberg’s advantage to 24 points.

After a problem-filled start to his attempt to win a fourth F1 title, Hamilton would have slipped the points equivalent of two race victories behind in the Drivers’ Championship had Rosberg, one place ahead of him on last Sunday’s grid, won in Monaco for the fourth consecutive year.

But, after a rain-affected race of numerous twists and turns, Hamilton emerged victorious while his Mercedes team-mate finished only seventh – meaning the German’s advantage was cut to just 24 points with 15 races to go

Asked by Sky Sports if he was now able to exert more pressure on Rosberg, Hamilton replied: “He’s still got a win but, of course, the race is alive – so much can happen.” — Sky Sports.
