Lewis Hamilton limits damage with 7th place at Monaco GP

MONACO (AP) Lewis Hamilton produced a faultless drive to salvage a seventh-placed finish at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday after starting 13th on the grid.

Having endured a torrid weekend at the famous street circuit, the three-time world champion finally got to grips with his Mercedes to secure a useful six points.

Sebastian Vettel produced a dominant performance to lead a Ferrari one-two ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and extend his championship lead over Hamilton to 25 points.

”I like to look at the glass half-full – today I’m generally really happy with the day. I was sad yesterday, I was devastated but to come away with some points is better than nothing,” Hamilton said.
