The media pressed him on Monaco, but Montreal and Mercedes were the only M words Lewis Hamilton wanted to talk about yesterday.

The double Formula One world champion faced repeated questions about the pitstop gaffe that denied him victory in the principality 10 days ago - and each time he replied with a verbal block.

What happened in Monaco, stayed in Monaco - that was the message.

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

"I don't look back, I'm looking forwards," the Mercedes driver said ahead of Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

"I have not really thought about the last race for a long time, I've been thinking about the next race and putting my mind to other things, training and trying to come back strong this weekend.
