As the field changed to slicks in a wet-to-dry race, Hamilton was stuck behind Alonso in the fight for seventh, and the Briton stayed on Alonso's gearbox right until the race was called right on time after 64 laps as the clock ran out.
To Hamilton's extraordinary disappointment, Alonso trundled around so sluggishly that McLaren's Lando Norris had the option to drive away from the pair by north of 30 seconds, which gave him a free pitstop window to come in for new tires and assault the quickest lap.
Alonso made sense of that he needed to decrease his speed to ensure that his medium tires would go on for the rest of the race, saying Hamilton's hardships were not his concern.
The occurrence was suggestive of Arrows' Enrique Bernoldi broadly holding up David Coulthard for 35 laps after the McLaren driver had to begin from the, harking back to the 2001 race.
As per Wolff, Hamilton's powerlessness to find a far beyond notwithstanding being as long as five seconds for each lap speedier has featured by and by that F1 needs to investigate tweaking the noteworthy road circuit.
"You can see that another example is that track position is everything in Monaco," Wolff said. "Five seconds resembles a F2 vehicle yet no doubt, I think we really want to look.
"This is such a scene here, such a fabulous setting and continuously astonishing to be here, yet we want to perhaps take a gander at the format, where we can essentially do a lap five seconds increasingly slow still can't overwhelm."
Monaco's thin and twisty road design, similar as other hierarchical and business parts of the stupendous prix, has remained practically immaculate for quite a long time, with its situation on the schedule going under expanded strain despite Liberty Media's drive to venture into new business sectors and scenes that it can more readily take advantage of.
Wolff trusts that an understanding can be found to restore Monaco's lapsing F1 contract yet conceded that a design change may be "living in fantasy land", recognizing there's scarcely any degree to set out overwhelming open doors in the realm without going to uncommon lengths.
"I believe there's a business discussion to be held yet the two players obviously will find a trade off in light of the fact that we really want Monaco and Monaco needs Formula 1," Wolff said.
"With the track design, perhaps it's living in fantasy land. I wouldn't know what other place we can drive than around these streets, and the passage is now quick, yet I don't have any idea what should be possible.
"Perhaps we can simply dispose of the chicane after the passage and make it a long straight. And afterward Tabac, I don't have the foggiest idea... Tabac would be excessively quick. Perhaps add some slowing down there yet this is here the track planner talking who has no clue..."
