Leiws Hamilton has told his team not to repeat the same mistakes they did in last year's Monaco race, by holding one driver back and let the other one win. Last year in Monaco Fernando Alonso was in the first place and Lewis Hamilton in the second, claiming that the team told him to step down and let Alonso win. However Hamilton urged his team not to choose their winner this year as well, and continue with the same policy they had up to now , by letting the team's drivers race as equals.

However if something like this is going to happen, in will be in Hamilton's favor this year as he is in a higher place in the championship table, 14 points ahead his Finnish teammate Heikki Kovalainen. "He is an extremely talented driver, and I heard he had a fantastic race in Turkey," said Hamilton of Kovalainen. "He was just unfortunate, but I have no doubts he will be up at the front next time out. We are a team and I felt sorry for him that he was not able to compete in Turkey. If I am not winning then I wish he was and it is the same feeling vice-versa, so I want it to continue as it is, fair and square. It would not be right for the team to push me ahead of him," Hamilton said.
