Nico Rosberg won Formula One's showcase Monaco Grand Prix for Mercedes yesterday, 30 years on from his world champion father Keke's triumph on the streets of the Mediterranean principality.
The pole-to-flag win, after two safety car deployments and a 25-minute stoppage caused by Pastor Maldonado crashing his Williams, was only the second of the German's career - as it was for his Finnish father in 1983.
Red Bull's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel made it a German one-two to extend his championship lead to 21 points over Finland's Kimi Raikkonen - who finished 10th - after six of the 19 races.
Rosberg's success, on the familiar streets of a town that has been home since his early years, made him the first son of a Monaco Grand Prix winner to win the most glamorous race on the calendar.
"It's amazing. This is my home, I've grown up here all my life and it's really special," he said. "The whole weekend went perfectly.
"The car was really good, the tyres held on and that was the key to the victory. I am ecstatic."
