Hamilton sets sights on Massa

Lewis Hamilton has vowed to reel in Felipe Massa after setting another milestone in his remarkable Formula One career.

McLaren rookie Hamilton was forced to settle for the runner-up spot for the third race in succession in the Spanish Grand Prix as Massa took the chequered flag for the fourth time in his career.

But Hamilton, who is the youngest driver to lead the standings, insisted: "I'm not worried. I know we didn't have the pace of Felipe but we're another step closer, and as I've said to him, 'we'll get him soon'."

He added: "I think we'll be very strong in Monaco, again pushing hard to get as many points as we can, and for sure I'll be gunning for a win.

"Monaco has always been a very strong race for me, and I'm looking forward to it."

Hamilton was referring to last year's GP2 victory around the Monte Carlo street circuit en route to his title triumph.

It would be a remarkable venue to clinch his first F1 win and cement his place at the top of the drivers' standings - he is currently two points clear of team-mate Fernando Alonso.
