Hello and welcome to live text commentary from the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. The race starts in just 15 minutes.

Next on the calendar is the Canadian GP on the weekend of June 7-9 - we'll see you then for that one.

Rosberg understandably delighted. 'Thank you so much,' he says to the team. They began in controversy over this 'secret test', and that may well be a talking point long after the dust settles, but for now it's a moment of joy for Mercedes.

How did Raikkonen nab that last point? That's an incredible finish.

From second - Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Sutil, Button, Alonso, Vergne, di Resta, Raikkonen!

ROSBERG WINS THE MONACO GP!

As Rosberg begins his final lap, he moves withing touching distance of being part of the first father/son combo to win the Monaco GP.

Vettel might be just as happy though - he's going to take chunks out of his title rivals today.

Rosberg has topped every single timesheet this weekend, from FP1 to the race itself, and he'll be a deserved winner.

Rosberg now four seconds clear, and Vettel is happy to let him go.

Alonso's pace has picked up - looked like he was stuck with some debris under his car which has now worked its way out.

Looks as if the McLaren was trying to get into the pits but in the end the Mexican had no space to turn into the pit lane. And that is that.

SUTIL PASSES! BUTTON FOLLOWS! AND PEREZ IS OUT!

Perez couldn't turn in at the chicane, and he's in trouble here....

Sutil looking for a way around Perez, who's holding up the field here. He's hanging on for dear life.

Perez is still able to drive the McLaren, which means that for now he is holding on to fifth place. Hamilton not under any pressure in fourth, and can continue to fight Webber.

Some of these passes have been sensational. The skill level to pull these off is remarkable.

No boost to Alonso though - as Raikkonen slipped down the order Button jumped the Spaniard at Rascasse. That was another sneaky move.

PUNCTURE FOR RAIKKONEN! AND HE HAS TO PIT! That's a disaster for Lotus.

OUCH! That's why Perez was struggling - he tried to dart in on the inside, and Riakkonen closed him out - there was no room left and the Mexican lost a bit of the wing. Not sure who's to blame though...

Rosberg stretches out to three seconds clear - barring incident he will win this GP.
