Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton: 'I'll win the next race'

Lewis Hamilton vows to come back strong after a strategic error costs him victory at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has vowed to bounce back from a disappointing Monaco Grand Prix in which the Briton was robbed of victory by a pitstop error.

The 30-year-old looked on course to win the race until his team pitted him after a late safety car following Max Verstappen's collision with a wall during the 64th lap, a strategic error that resulted in him coming third.

Hamilton was crestfallen after the event, but has vowed to return stronger and "win the next one".

"I can't really express how I feel so I won't even attempt to," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"This is a race that has been very close to my heart for many years. It was a great feeling to have that gap in the race. I didn't even have to push that much, I could have had double that lead if I had pushed. You live to fight another day.

"I'm sure we will sit down afterwards and try to think of ways we can improve. I'll come back to win the next one."

The botched pitstop allowed Nico Rosberg to claim first place, with Sebastian Vettel coming in behind him.
