Monaco Grand Prix: Sebastian Vettel wins thriller in Monte Carlo


Sebastian Vettel (GER) Red Bull Racing celebrates his pole position in parc ferme.
Formula One World Championship, Rd 6,  Monaco Grand Prix, Qualifying Day, Monte-Carlo, Monaco, Saturday, 28 May 2011SEBASTIAN VETTEL won a Grand Prix thriller in Monte Carlo.
The German raced home just seconds ahead of two world champions to win the biggest race on the Formula 1 calendar.
The statistics will show a fifth win in six races as his domination continued but it was far from a routine triumph


n fact it was probably the hardest of his career as he went to the line shadowed by two previous winners for the last 18 laps.
Fernando Alonso was second thanks to a clever strategy and Jenson Button somehow conjured a third place from a race-winning position after pitting three times.
In a season of spectacular races under the new rules this was the best yet.
But the other McLaren driver, Lewis Hamilton, will not believe that.
A man who could have started from pole and scored his second victory was consigned to a series of dramas all weekend.
In qualifying he was blocked by Felipe Massa and his best lap then wrecked by a crash to start ninth, making it a Mission Impossible to win this one.
