The Monaco Grand Prix is known for housing some of the richest people in the world. And with it being a street car race, people can watch from the comforts of their homes, such as this man did as Paul di Resta drove past in his Force India car. Mark Thomp???

It was a race to forget for Kimi Raikkonen, though, with the Lotus driver had to tussle with Sergio Perez, in his McLaren car. The Finn eventually finished 10th before blaming Perez for his poor outing. Alexander Klein / AFP
Rosberg, meanwhile, had no such problems as he maintained a safe distance from Vettel and Hamilton. Jean-Christophe Magnenet / AFP

Lewis Hamilton, Rosberg's teammate at Mercedes, was expected to be his team's No 1 driver. But with the German in the form that he is, Hamilton was driving within himself. Benoit Tessier / Reuters
For all the off-track bickering between Red Bull and Mercedes, Vettel, left, was gracious in defeat as he congratulated Rosberg on the win. Vettel still leads in the drivers' championship race. Robert Pratta / Reuters
The race, however, was not without its share of mishaps. Here, the safety staff members clear debris after the car of Williams' Pastor Maldonaldo crashed. The Venezuelan was forced to retire. Stefano Rellandini / Reuters
Another driver to crash out of the race was Felipe Massa, in his Ferrari. It was a forgettable visit to Monte Carlo for the Italian outfit with Massa's teammate, Fernando Alonso, finishing seventh. Bryn Lennon / Getty Images
Rosberg emulated his father, Keke, by winning the Monaco Grand Prix 30 years after his Rosberg Sr did. It certainly was a special performance and even more special win. Luca Bruno / AP Photo
Rosberg eventually prevailed over his rivals to cross the finish line at the Circuit de Monaco, winning his first race in the city he grew up in. Jean-Christophe Magnenet / AFP
