Lewis Hamilton said his first Monaco Grand Prix victory on Sunday was "the highlight of my career and probably will be for the rest of my life".

The Englishman survived a collision with the barriers in his McLaren to win the sport's most prestigious race.

Hamilton, 23, follows in the footsteps of his hero, the late Ayrton Senna, who won in Monaco a record six times.

"I was thinking of Ayrton Senna who won here so many times and it was a bit special," he said.

"Even if I win here again, which I plan on doing, this is the best one... It was the most fun I've ever had in a race.

"I'm not going to say that next year I will win it, although next year I aim to come back and win it, but again anything can happen.

"But I hope this is the start of something very special.

"That was so emotional, so, so emotional. The last 20 laps seemed to last forever and I was just saying to myself 'you can do it, you can do it' and 'bring it home, bring it home'.

"I knew I just had to stay out of the walls. I had a big lead."

Result of Monaco Grand Prix after 76 laps*:

1 Lewis Hamilton (GB) McLaren-Mercedes two hours 0 minutes 42.742 seconds
2 Robert Kubica (Pol) BMW Sauber 3.064 secs behind
3 Felipe Massa (Brz) Ferrari +4.811secs
4 Mark Webber (Aus) Red Bull-Renault +19.295
5 Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Toro Rosso-Ferrari +24.657
6 Rubens Barrichello (Brz) Honda +28.408
7 Kazuki Nakajima (Jpn) Williams-Toyota +30.180
8 Heikki Kovalainen (Fin) McLaren-Mercedes +33.191
9 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari +33.792
10 Fernando Alonso (Spa) Renault one lap behind
11 Jenson Button (GB) Honda one lap
12 Timo Glock (Ger) Toyota one lap
13 Jarno Trulli (Ita) Toyota one lap
14 Nick Heidfeld (Ger) BMW Sauber four laps
R Adrian Sutil (Ger) Force India-Ferrari 67 laps completed
16 Nico Rosberg (Ger) Williams-Toyota 59 laps
17 Nelson Piquet Jr (Brz) Renault 47 laps
18 Giancarlo Fisichella (Ita) Force India-Ferrari 36 laps
19 David Coulthard (GB) Red Bull-Renault seven laps
20 Sebastien Bourdais (Fra) Toro Rosso-Ferrari seven laps

Fastest Lap: Kimi Raikkonen, 1:16.689, lap 74.

Hopefully this can be the turn around that Lewis is looking for, there is no doubt that this is most prestigious race in F1, so if he can win this, I don't see any reason that he cannot start winning as a whole.

FUCK RAIKONNEN!

I was egging Sutil on, Raikonnen rammed into the back of him

He only won because he hit the barrier and needed to come in, so he put more fuel in and came out in forth. And because no one else could drive in the wet.

Webber 4th is pretty good though, he is sooooo unlucky. Goddamn shitty cars.

No he won with skill. The only luck involved was that his suspension wasn't fucked when he crashed.
