F1 needs new winner in Monaco to maintain suspense as Hamilton eyes fifth straight win

Published February 05, 2015

Formula One desperately needs a different winner at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend to maintain any semblance of suspense.

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton goes for his fifth straight win, with the F1 season taking on an air of inevitability, just like last season when Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull dominated with crushing ease by winning the last nine races and 13 from 19 overall.

With Mercedes unmatchable for speed, Hamilton looks like he could beat even those incredible numbers, with four-time defending champion Vettel rapidly drifting away from contention.

With Nico Rosberg winning in Melbourne, Mercedes has clinched every race, and it looks like being a straight contest within Mercedes as to who wins the title.
