Nico Rosberg led the field from start to finish, comfortably dispatching of Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. 

Daniel Ricciardo came very close to passing the Englishman late in the Red Bull car, but once again, it was Mercedes who took spots one and two.

Fernando Alonso was nearly invisible for much of the race, finishing fourth, while Nico Hulkenberg and his Force India held off the rest of the pack for fifth.

Jules Bianchi finished ninth due to a five-second penalty, giving Team Marussia their very first points in Formula 1 history.

Rosberg had a perfect start, keeping team-mate Hamilton at bay going into the first corner. Kimi Raikkonen left the grid the fastest of any driver, moving up to fourth past Ricciardo.

Jenson Button bumped into Sergio Perez who went into the wall at Mirabeu, ending his race before it ever truly began.

World champion Sebastian Vettel ran into mechanical problems early, dropping down the field over the course of three laps before his car got stuck in first gear. The German has suffered through a frustrating campaign so far, and an exit after eight laps here in Monaco won't help his case.

The two Mercedes cars immediately started separating from the rest of the pack, with Rosberg and Hamilton the only two drivers consistently hitting the 1 minute, 19.00 seconds mark per lap.

Rosberg seemed to be the stronger of the two, as Hamilton complained about the state of his rear-tyres over the radio on multiple occasions. Blogging for the BBC, David Coulthard thought it curious the Englishman would emphasise his struggles in such a way, with his team-mate listening:

"Interesting that Lewis Hamilton has given that bit of information about his tyres to the world, to the other teams...and to his team-mate of course."

Raikkonen ran into mechanical issues, dropping him all the way to 13th place...
