Team McLaren test driver, Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa has confirmed reports that his McLaren colleague Lewis Hamilton was lucky to win last Sunday's Monaco grand prix.
After the 23-year-old Briton delightedly took the chequered flag in the Principality, it was rumoured that one of his tyres was flat shortly after it returned to parc fermé.
It was suggested that he sustained the slow right-rear puncture late in the race, probably by running over the debris of Nico Rosberg's crash.
"It is true that he finished the race with a slow puncture," de la Rosa, the British team's Spanish test driver, confirmed to the Spanish press at a Madrid motor show this week.
