Johannesburg: Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton has expressed his relief after claiming his first victory of the season at the Monaco Grand Prix, saying it must have boosted morale of his team’s mechanics.

Thanking his mechanical team for their relentless effort, the 31-year-old credited his crew for helping him in claiming his first victory of the season and hoped their success would continue throughout the season.
