I need b***s to win, says Hamilton

London, May 20 (ANI): Lewis Hamilton knows what it takes to win in Monaco: Serious b***s.

The 24-year-old has suffered a frustrating season since becoming the youngest world champion in Formula One history last year.

His McLaren has failed to match the performance of rival cars on the grid so far.

But he is banking on the treacherous twists and turns of Monaco's street circuit to level the playing field.

And he will draw on the spirit of boyhood hero Ayrton Senna, the three-time world champion who was undisputed king of Monaco with a record six wins between 1987 and '93.

The Sun quoted Hamilton as saying: "It's a bumpy, fast-flowing circuit and you have to have serious b***s to touch the barriers.

"Really you do - deep down inside. Only the best drivers can do that. (ANI)
