30 years after his father won for Williams, Nico Rosberg took his first Monaco Grand Prix win ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. The race was red-flagged at half distance to an accident at Tabac involving Pastor Maldonado and Max Chilton which, amazingly, wasn’t Maldonado’s fault. One of the stars of the race was Adrian Sutil, who finished a fine fifth for Force India after pulling off a lovely pass on Fernando Alonso into the Lowes hairpin. On the other end of the scale, Sergio Perez ruffled a few feathers with some massive lunges at the chicane, one of which gave Kimi Raikkonen a puncture and dropped him down the order. Afterwards, the Finn said Perez should be “punched in the face” because simply talking to him “won’t help”
