At the Monaco grand prix, two men were the most happy — one won the race and the second moving clear with a lead at the world championship.

Mark Webber was Australia’s first-ever two-time Monaco winner. He resisted enormous pressure from five rivals, who all passed the chequered flag in 6 seconds.

Christian Horner, his boss on British BBC television said that Mark was “very disciplined.” He did what was necessary.

Fernando Alonso was third behind Nico Rosberg of Mercedes, as rain started to fall more heavily on Sunday.

Ferrari’s Spaniard is now three points ahead of Red Bull’s duo, who are joint second.

Six different winners won the six first grands prix of F1 for the first time.

David Coulthard, a former driver and commentator on Formula One, said that “This is the golden age for formula one.”

F1’s 2012 winner Webber disagrees. He insists that the inconsistent season has been frustrating for both the drivers and the teams.

He said, “Hopefully we can get some routine now.”

Concerning the protest threat that was hanging over the provisional race results, Red Bull designer Adrian Newey – who received the trophy from Prince Albert – insisted that the floor of his RB8 was legal.

He said that he had received a letter from Charlie Whiting stating categorically it was legal and that he wasn’t concerned.

Horner stated on Sky television that he would be “disappointed” if Red Bull’s competitors lodge a protest.

Maldonado dropped 10 grid spots for collision in FP3, plus five for gearbox change. Schumacher lost five grid spots for collision in the last round. Perez did not set time. Perez raced at the stewards discretion. He dropped five grid positions for gearbox change.
