Lewis Hamilton slams decision to delay Monaco GP due to rain after more disappointment

Lewis Hamilton has hit out at the decision of race organisers to delay Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix because of rain.

Eventually, the race began over an hour late, with a safety car leading a rolling two-lap start. The delays were then exacerbated further when the Grand Prix was red flagged after 30 laps, after Haas driver Mick Schumacher careered into the Swimming Pool Chicane.
