Lewis Hamilton denied famous Monaco Grand Prix win after team 'screwed up'

At the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was on course for victory when Mercedes made a catastrophic strategic error involving a virtual safety car period — triggered by a crash between rookie Max Verstappen and Romain Grosjean on lap 64. The blunder allowed Hamilton's teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg to pit and emerge ahead, handing Rosberg the win. The incident remains one of the most notorious team strategy failures in Formula 1 history.
