Lewis Hamilton says he couldn't care less about Monaco GP blunder

Just days after agreeing to a new three-year contract with the team, Hamilton's hopes of victory in the Principality were wrecked by a pitstop strategy blunder.

After looking nailed on for the triumph, the error resulted in the reigning world champion finishing third behind team-mate Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel in his Ferrari.

Hamilton is now determined to move on into this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, a race he has won three times in the past, refusing to dwell on the events in Monaco.

"I don't look back," said the world champion. "I'm looking forward. I've not thought about the last race for a long time.

"I've been thinking about this next race, been putting my mind to other things, training, and trying to come back strong for this weekend.

"It's really irrelevant what happened in the past, there's nothing you can do about it so there's no point dwelling on it.

"I know there are a lot of questions about Monaco, but I really don't want to look back to Monaco.

"I've moved on. I don't even have to think about it. I couldn't care less about it.

"I'm focused on what's going to happen. I can't do anything about the past.

"There's a championship to be won, so that's all I'm focused on.

"It doesn't matter how I feel, how I have felt, what I feel now. Actually I don't feel anything about it."

With plenty of time to digest what happened, Hamilton has no intention of holding any grudges with his team, or any particular individual.

Asked as to his confidence level in Mercedes, Hamilton replied: "Same as always, 100 per cent.

"I have full trust and confidence in them. We've had incredible success together, so one race doesn't dent the solid foundation we've built."
