What an absolutely insane Monaco GP that was, controversy, Mercedes domination, dirt in the eye and points for Marussia.

The Monaco GP is the most unique race on the calendar, it has the shortest track, the slowest speed and is the only exception to the 305km race distance rule.

As mentioned a few times on Twitter I am having internet problems which is why this wasn’t done yesterday. Anyway, the 60th F1 Monaco GP is over and Mercedes have finally converted a pole position into a win. Nico Rosberg achieved his third consecutive pole position, the last person to do so in a Mercedes was Juan Manuel Fangio in 1954 on the way to his second Drivers’ Championship.

The Monaco GP is one of the oldest races in the world that is still going today. The first race was held back in 1929 and after 100 laps it was won by British-French driver William Grover-Williams in his Bugatti. William Grover-Williams has quite an interesting but unfortunate story, there’s no time for it now but I’d recommend doing a search.
