MONACO: Jackie Stewart expects it to be business as usual on track for Lewis Hamilton in Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix despite the Mercedes driver's grief at the death of Formula One great Niki Lauda.
"In those days, you had to manage that mentally in a very strict way. I suspect Lewis will handle it in exactly the same way as I would have done." Stewart agreed a victory in Monaco, where Lauda won twice for Ferrari, would be a fitting tribute even if he doubted the famously blunt Austrian would have cared about that.
Stewart recalled how he had felt in 1970 when he had to get back in the car 45 minutes after another Austrian friend of his, the sport's only posthumous champion Jochen Rindt, was killed in practice at Monza.
