Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to win the
Monaco Grand Prix for the fourth time in his illustrious career on May 29.
The Mercedes driver failed to live up to expectations during last season's Monaco Grand Prix as he finished seventh.
Hamilton's poor form in the current campaign continued as he finished fifth at the recent Spanish Grand Prix on May 22 and he remains winless this term.

The 37-year-old collided with the Haas-Ferrari driver Kevin Magnussen and had to change his tires after the very first lap, but he managed to finish the race in fifth.
The race was won by Red Bull Racing RBPT's Max Verstappen, whose teammate Sergio Perez and Mercedes driver George Russell finished second and third respectively.
The win has elevated Verstappen to the top of the 2022 Drivers' Championship standings. Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Perez are placed second and third respectively in the standings.
Hamilton finds himself sixth on the standings and will be keen to win the Monaco Grand Prix for the fourth time having clinched the race in 2008, 2016 and 2019.

The seven-time Formula One champion was pleased to have recorded some points (10) after finishing fifth at the Spanish Grand Prix
“Yeah, honestly, I’m so grateful just to get some points. It’s been quite a bit of some bad luck this year, and again that today really, I mean, it’s not bad luck," Hamilton said.
"I mean, it is on my side a little bit unlucky. But I don’t really know what he was up to. But yeah, there was a point where I was in no man’s land.
"I didn’t think it was possible to even catch the guys and even get back into the race. I was 30 seconds adrift but somehow managed to get a lot further than they thought. So I like that we just didn’t give up.”
Red Bull Racing-RBPT are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Ferrari and Mercedes respectively.
