Six Races, Six Winners

This year's Formula One season has already broken a record, it is the first time that the opening six races of the season have been won by six different drivers. Pole sitter, Mark Webber, led for the majority of the race to take the chequered flag, making four wins from a Pole sitter this season.

The Australian held off Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso who now leads the standings outright, with Sebastian Vettel level on points with Webber after finishing in fourth. Lewis Hamilton had a fairly quiet race in fifth but his McLaren team-mate, Jenson Button, failed to finish the race.

The race started in dramatic fashion with Romain Grosjean colliding with Michael Schumacher, causing the Frenchman to spin and unable to continue. Further down the grid, Pastor Maldonado crashed into the back of Pedro De La Rosa, forcing another two retirements. Kamui Kobayashi would make it four retirements on the opening lap after also suffering damage from a slight collision. The surprise from the start saw Heikki Kovalainen move up to 13th which put him ahead of Button.

With all those retirements, it was no surprise to see the Safety Car deployed and the racing would resume on lap three. As expected, there were very few overtakes due to the narrow Monaco track. Vitaly Petrov became the fifth retirement of the race on lap 17.

Laps 29-30 onwards saw the the pit stop window open. The strategy for al cars was a one stop with the majority starting on the super soft tyres. The big winner was Alonso who managed to leapfrog Hamilton into third. Vettel was one of the few who started the race on the soft tyres, this allowed him to take the lead following the pit stops until he finally pitted on lap 46, a strategy that also saw him move over Hamilton.

Sergio Perez received a drive through penalty on lap 39 for impeding Kimi Raikkonen as the Mexican made his was into the pits. His move across the track allowed a Force India to pass the Finn. Despite being the fastest yesterday, Schumacher was far from it today and he would end up suffering a mechanical failure that forced him retire on lap 65. Daniel Ricciardo and Charles Pic followed suit three laps later, taking the retirement tally to eight. That would then become nine on lap 75 when Button's keenness to overtake Kovalainen caused the McLaren to spin out and couldn't continue. Race result:
