Was Hamilton's "sorrow" a little exagerated in Monaco?

[F J Nedos]

I'm no particular fan of either of the merc drivers, but I thought they both handled things well. I even got a chuckle from Mr Vettel's last comment to Mr Brundle on the podium.

Maybe, another way to ask the question would be along the lines of "Was coming 3rd in an F1 race so bad?" But you could argue that point in any sport - players feeling gutted if they've just lost a grand final, FA cup, EPL premiership etc. Sport does that to you, emotions and all that. Many drivers consider Monaco like a grand final of sorts. If you've been dominant, in say your first FA cup final, only to go into extra time because the manager made a silly substitution. You then play through extra time, then lose the final through a penalty shoot out. You feel gutted. The opportunity to win an FA cup final doesn't come easily, you looked like taking it out. Of course you are going to be upset. This would be how Mr Hamilton felt.

They will all move on. Mr Hamilton might be untouchable in Montreal next!
