The report said Hamilton performed an extra-tight turn in front of the photographers, deliberately soaking their photo and TV cameras and mobile phones with a wave of seawater. "An expensive prank," said Benoit. "Hamilton's team Mercedes apologised and paid for the $150,000 (!) in damage."
Later, Hamilton spoke to reporters in the Monaco paddock for his usual media duties with his pet Roscoe - a bulldog - snoring loudly on his lap. (GMM)
