The Monaco GP is underway. The street race in Monte Carlo is undoubtedly the most prestigious race in the pinnacle of motorsport. Unsurprisingly, stars from across the world come to the principality to attend this special Grand Prix. American actor Anya Taylor-Joy was one of the big names to be here this weekend.

Taylor-Joy was spotted right before the start of the Monaco GP. The ‘Mad Max: Furiosa’ star was interviewed by F1 presenter Martin Brundle on the Monte Carlo grid. Brundle mentioned the American actor’s upcoming film. Anya Taylor-Joy revealed that Lewis Hamilton was the reason for her to visit the F1 paddock this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton thrilled to race in the Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton has had a positive weekend in Monaco so far. The seven-time world champion has managed to be more comfortable with the W15 here compared to the start of the season. Before the race, Hamilton revealed that he was happy to compete in the iconic street race.

The British driver claimed that it was a real privilege to race in the streets of Monte Carlo. So much so, that Lewis Hamilton pinched himself every morning during the Monaco GP weekend since he made his F1 debut in 2007.

We’re so privileged, the guys on this track, to be here, to be able to do what we do. I literally pinch myself every morning when I come here, particularly for the race.
Lewis Hamilton said

Certainly, Lewis Hamilton adores the history of the Monaco GP. The seven-time world champion has had the fortune of winning the race in the past. However, it seems that it would be difficult for the British driver to repeat such a feat this year as he starts the race from seventh place.
