Lewis Hamilton has admitted he is not enjoying being the hunter in this years world championship fight. Primarily because of the unreliability of his Mercedes car this year, Hamilton finds himself trailing team-mate Nico Rosberg by 43 points in the standings. But the reigning champion has scoffed at the idea that, in the position of chaser, the pressure is off him - or that its harder being the driver everyone else is striving to catch.Its much easier leading the championship, full stop, the Mercedes driver responded. You have the advantage and so you have that comfort buffer. I have zero comfort buffer right now. Its just hard work right now. Im not focusing on the what ifs, Im just focusing on the here and now. Ted Kravitz and Johnny Herbert analyse how Lewis Hamiltons nose got broken in the Mercedes garage during Thursday practice at Monaco Hamilton has previously described his points-deficit to Rosberg as being akin to a mountain with the German almost two full race victories ahead. So has Hamilton already come to terms with the possibility of failing to complete a hat-trick of championships at Mercedes?If it happens, it happens, if it doesnt, it doesnt. There will be many, many opportunities in the future but this opportunity is still there - we have 16 races to go - and Im remaining positive. The glass is only 10 per cent full and there is still all the rest to fill up.Mercedes seek Monaco solution after practice surpriseBut Rosberg has his own special motivation this weekend. Victory would make him only the fourth driver in F1 history to have won at Monaco three or more times in a row. And the current roll-call is an illustrious list: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Mr Monaco, Graham Hill. Hamilton finished the 2015 Monaco GP in third after Mercedes pitted the race leader under Safety Car, leaving him behind Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel Hamilton, conversely, has won just once around the iconic venue - a modest statistic which prompted him to describe the race as his Achilles heel earlier this month. And while Hamilton remains a committed fan of the art of conquering the circuit and its unforgiving barriers, describing a lap of Monte Carlo as one of the purest thrills you can have in a racing car, the 31-year-old has admitted that he is not a fan of the spectacle the race sometimes provides. Can Hamilton end his Monaco hoodoo?In the last few years it has been a one-stop race and that is a procession, he mused. The track looks so cool at night and l was thinking why dont we have two races here?. We should have more stops and the ultrasoft tyre isnt soft. We need an ultra, ultra, ultra, ultrasoft - four times softer - so we have more stops and that mixes it up. In my first years, when there were more stops and that was way more exciting. We will be two seconds faster this year than last year but the overtaking will still be the same.The weather may have something to say about that, however, with showers still forecast for race day. And in any case, would Hamilton mind a lack of overtaking if he crosses the line in first?As he addressed his pre-event media briefing, Hamilton remarked that a friend had declined to attend this years event because he considered the race to be a train. Hamilton paused for a moment and then added:I said, Yeah, Im in it - and hopefully at the front. Watch the Monaco GP live on Sky Sports F1.

Gabriel Landeskog scored two goals in regulation and then netted the winner in the shootout to lead the Avalanche to a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night. Cody McLeod and Nick Holden also scored for Colorado, which ended a three game losing streak. With the shootout tied 1-1, Landeskog beat goalie Pekka Rinne with a wrist shot from the right side. Roman Josi and Matt Cullen each had two goals for Nashville, which had a two-game winning streak snapped. Nashville has lost six consecutive home games. Josi scored the games first goal at 3:33 of the opening period. After Holden overskated the puck in the neutral zone, Craig Smith carried it into the Avalanche end on the right side and missed wide with a shot from the circle. The rebound came to Josi at the left point, and the Swiss Olympian beat goalie Semyon Varlamov with a slap shot. "I think we started pretty slow," Varlamov said. "The Predators had so many chances to score. We played better in the second and third periods." Josi struck again at 9:49 of the first. Inside the Colorado zone, rookie centre Calle Jarnkrok won a faceoff back to Josi. From the centre of the blue line, he beat Varlamov with a wrist shot, aided by a screen from Gabiel Bourque, who was stationed just in front of the net. Jarnkrok has posted an assist in his first three NHL games. He also scored Nashvilles lone goal in the shootout. Landeskog cut the Nashville lead in half with 54 seconds remaining in the first with a wrist shot from the low slot that beat Rinne on the stick side. "Paul (Stastny) and Nate (MacKinnon) made great plays in the corner to get the puck to me," Landeskog said. "I was alone in the slot and I managed to get my stick out and find an angle to get it far side. I think that was a big one, but at tthe same time we all regrouped in the second and came out hard.dddddddddddd" Until then, Nashville had controlled the first period. The Predators outshot Colorado 13-3 in the opening frame. Nashville finished with a 33-28 shot advantage. "It could have been easily three or four nothing for them after the first period," Colorado coach Patrick Roy said. "Sometimes its nice to win a game when you are not playing well. That was the case tonight." Colorado tied it at 8:41 when an unchecked Landeskog beat Rinne from the high slot for his second goal of the game. The Avalanche captain set a career high with 23 goals. Nashville regained the lead at 14:43 of the second when Cullen beat Varlamov from in tight with a wrist shot high to the short side. "It felt like one of those games where you deserve to win it by the way you played, but you need to give a lot of credit to their team," Cullen said. "They have a lot of dynamic players that can just go out and scored a goal right away. Its unfortunate the way that it ended up, but for a lot of the game, we felt good about things." After McLeod tied it at 12:25 of the third, Cullen and Holden traded goals 44 seconds apart late to force overtime. "On the fourth goal, we carried it through the neutral zone instead of making a real firm play, we just sort of threw it in the middle and they came back and transitioned and threw a puck at the net there that got by Pekka," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "We didnt lock it down. We didnt make strong plays when we had those leads." NOTES: Nashville D Seth Jones missed the game with concussion-like symptoms. The rookie was the only Predators player to be in the teams first 72 games this season. ... Bourque has assists in three straight games. ... Nashville is 19-0-4 when leading after two periods this season... The Avalanche had no power plays for the second time this season. ' ' '
