Hamilton when faced with claims of below minimum start pressure recommended by Pirelli stated that it was not his job. “I don’t know what to say about it, it’s not my job,” said the Briton, He added; “Today I’ve been so happy with how the car has been in the race. “Formula One is about running to the bare minimum. For whatever reason today, 0.3psi – if that’s what it was – 0.3psi… It makes no difference to the car, particularly on one tyre. I’m sure Pirelli could prove it. That’s not the reason we won.”

Rosberg and Ferrari‘s Sebastian Vettel did not stop and passed Hamilton before he rejoined.

This gave the 29-year-old German the chance to win the Monaco Grand Prix with Sebastian Vettel finishing in the runners up position and Lewis Hamilton third.

Rosberg win means he is the fourth man to have won a Monaco Grand Prix hat-trick adding his name to the three others – Briton Graham Hill, Frenchman Alain Prost and Brazilian Ayrton Senna — to have won this classic 78-laps race three times in a row.

Rosberg who was also winning two consecutive Grands Prix for the first time was very pleased with his achievement and praised how his Mercedes team-mate Hamilton drove brilliantly, “I am very happy,” he said.

He continued “But I know it was just a lot of luck. Lewis drove brilliantly and would have deserved the win, for sure, but that’s the way it is in racing.

“I know I got lucky. I will just enjoy the moment.”

Hamilton who has won just once at Monaco recognized how hard the race was and did not put the blame to Mercedes, “It was not the easiest of races,” said Hamilton.

“But the team has been amazing all year and we win and lose together.”

He went on and gave an insight of what he is planning to do next, he said: “Come back and win the next one.”

Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: “The answer is we got the maths wrong.

“That one goes on the team and I apologise. He’s a great leader and a great driver. I am sure he will understand sometimes we make errors.”

The result cuts Hamilton’s advantage in the championship over Rosberg to 10 points, with Vettel a further 18 points adrift.

Red Bull’s Daniil Kyvat was fourth and his Australian teammate Daniel Ricciardo fifth.
