F1 2019: 5 Talking Points from Monaco Grand Prix

#2 Hamilton just keeps on ticking those boxes

It was another pole and another victory for the reigning 5-time world champion

In all probability, Hamilton already has one hand on the driver's championship already. There's just no car in the same league as the Mercedes and they have a substantial gap behind them.

Bottas has proven to be an able adversary for Hamilton this year. But it's starting to become more and more clear that Hamilton is finally getting into his own and when he starts stringing together these weekends, then Bottas won't be able to catch him.

When push comes to shove, the World Champion is the better driver of the two. While there will be races where Bottas will have his day in the sun, but Hamilton with his superior skillset seems well on his way to clinching title No.6 for himself and the team.

With a lead of 17 points over Bottas, Lewis now enjoys a comfortable cushion in the standings.
