Why has one site said Hamilton to start 10th. Another 9th. Thought they would both read Mclaren press release, if your in the information world ?
There was confusion due to Perez's condition - if he were to be allowed to race, Lewis would have started 10th (behind him), but since Perez is under doctors orders not to race Lewis starts 9th and everyone else moves up. See http://badgergp.com/2011/05/the-grid-monaco/
