"Woohoo, yes!!" screams Nico Rosberg as he wins Monaco F1 race

"Woohoo, yes!!" screamed Nico Rosberg of Mercedes AMG Petronas as he won the 78 lap Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2015 held on May 24^th 2015. He's only the fourth man in history to win three straight races in the Principality of Monaco. Second to come was Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Ferrari, followed by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes, who had taken a pole position during the qualifying. Hamilton conceded to 3rd position for Mercedes after leading the entire race.

After the first 2-3 laps of the race at the Principality where not much happened, the tables turned surprisingly when an eager Max Verstappen of Scuderia Toro Rosso fighting with Romain Grosjean of Lotus F1 Team for 10thplace, overzealously out manoeuvred himself only to clip the Frenchman’s rear ending up at full speed into the barrier with his car. Thankfully the Dutchman walked away unharmed.

For Hamilton it was a not so lucky day. Hamilton was leading the race ahead of his team mate Rosberg. When the safety car was brought out to clear the Torro Rosso, Mercedes pitted Hamilton and the Brit ended up in 3rd place controversially behind Vettel’s Ferrari. The reasons behind the decision remain a mystery for now, but Rosberg probably wouldn’t mind not knowing as he completed the final 10 laps to win the Monaco Grand Prix.

In the final stages, boiling Hamilton was charging on Vettel but as the German gained temperatures in his tyres and brakes while trying to defend his position, Hamilton gave up only to be forced onto the defensive as the Aussie Daniel Ricciardo of Infinit Red Bull Racing had made it all the way from 6th to 4th overtaking Kimi Raikkonen of Scuderia Ferrari who called him “Not very nice” when they both touched wheels. With fresher tyres, Ricciardo moved up to 4th when his team mate Daniil Kvyat moved out of his way with much older rubber attached to his wheels. Riccardo gave a massive fight to Hamilton, but couldn’t manage to overtake and settled for 4th.

Last year, Jules Bianchi was the hero of the day at the Monaco GP when the Frenchman scored his first ever point of his career for Marussia. Those points were key to the team’s survival for 2015. Now the Frenchman is still fighting for his life in a hospital in France after a horrible crash left him in a coma. It has been reported that currently his situation is still the same as it was a few months back and no sign of improvement has been seen. The Bianchi Family even stated that they are even considering his death in the form of euthanasia. All we want to say is ForzaJules! Keep Fighting.

 The next round of the season race will be held in Canada from June 5 to 7, 2015.
