Only 12 cars saw the checkered flag in Monaco. In front of them all, the Red Bull of Mark Webber who becomes the first Australian in more than 50 years to take the honors in the Principality.

Webber, who was virtually unchallenged despite the appearance of several safety cars, took over the lead of the championship as he is now level on points with his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel after two consecutive win.

It was a fairly processional but nonetheless incident-packed race, with both Williams drivers crashing, and backmarker Jarno Trulli mounting Karun Chandhok's HRT right in front of the leader Webber.

Sebastian Vettel finished second behind Webber in Monaco with Pole Robert Kubica on the podium alongside the Red Bull drivers.

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished fourth with a seventh place only for his teammate Fernando Alonso, who started from the pits after he forfeited qualifying due to a broken car inherited from final session slash in the wall.

The biggest loser of the Monaco race is the former title leader Jenson Button, whose Mercedes engine overheated during the first safety car period because McLaren mechanics left a bung in his sidepod.

There is also a post-race controversy in the stewards' room, after Fernando Alonso was passed by Michael Schumacher in the short blast between the safety car pulling in and the waving of the chequered flag. There is some uncertainty as to whether overtaking is allowed in those circumstances on the last lap.

Michael Schumacher finished sixth in front of Alonso and his teammate Nico Rosberg. Adrian Sutil, Vitantonio Liuzzi and the two Toro Rosso cars of Sebastian Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari are the only one that made it to the finish line.
