Driver with biggest balls will win in Monaco: Lewis Hamilton

Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton, who is hoping to win his second Monaco Grand Prix, has said that the driver with the biggest balls should come out on top in Monaco.

The Briton triumphed in Monaco in 2008.

"Here you are always on the edge and think if you brake a little bit too late, you'll be in the barrier. This is a track where you really have to have serious confidence in your car.

"When you say people outside of F1 could never understand what it feels like to drive around a track, this is the place where you really could never get anywhere near to understanding," The Sun quoted Hamilton, as saying.

"There is nowhere else you could experience anything close to what we experience here. And even when you are away for a year you seem to forget how crazy this race is.

"There is a certain buzz and special atmosphere here. When you have a good car here it just feels phenomenal - and this car feels light years ahead of last year's car," he said.

Hamilton heads into the race 21 points behind title pacesetter Button after his cruel tyre failure in Barcelona last week.

But Hamilton is confident he can still regain his drivers' crown this year, despite lying sixth in the standings going into the sixth round of the 19-race season.

"I don't feel I'm at the point where I need to turn it around as such because what needs turning around is just my fortunes. We've got the pace and the speed to get better results than we have been getting. We have the power in our hands," he said.

Hamilton's biggest threat could come from former teammate Fernando Alonso, who dominated Friday's practice sessions for Ferrari.
