But according to Paula di Reste, a former Formula 1 racer, this could have happened earlier and Lewis Hamilton should be very happy with the situation at the race in Imoli and a red flag playing in his favor.

So I would say Scotland things could have been completely different if Hamilton in Imola, a red flag would not help. Right after that spun on the runway and landed in a sand barrier and had to head to the pits for a new front wing, was race aborted. This eventually allowed him to win 19 points (one for the fastest lap of the race) as he managed to get to second place.

Paul di Resta wonders where Lewis Hamilton would have been after the race in Monaco if he hadn’t had such luck in interrupting the race in Imola when he flew off the track just before and had to go to the pits for a new front wing.

"What would this year’s racers ’table look like if Hamilton hadn’t had so much luck with that race in Imola when he took off from the track and immediately afterwards the race was interrupted so he could get back into the action,”Is Paul di Resta revealed to colleagues from Sky Sports F1. "Mercedes had a disaster in Monaco and, more importantly, lost the lead in the constructors ’championship, which is essential for the team."

Former team racer Force India (today Aston Martin) very much enjoys the battle between Red Bullom in Mercedes. He believes it is Red Bull glad to leave Monako, as they left him as a leader in scoring racers and constructors.
