Bruno Senna has written his name into the history books by claiming victory in race one today in Monaco, holding on despite race long pressure from Pastor Maldonado to take the win, with teammate Karun Chandhok joining the pair on the podium after Mike Conway was tapped into a spin on the final lap.

The victory was set up at the start when the Venezuelan made a slow start while his rival got away perfectly, slotting in front into Ste Devote for a lead that he would hold for the remainder of the race bar one lap for pit stops.
