Facts and Figures from the last race

Nico Rosberg was the first driver to win three consecutive races at Monaco since Ayrton Senna who won five in a row between 1989 and 1993.

Rosberg joins a select group of drivers who won F1’s most famous race three times or more. They include Senna (six wins), Michael Schumacher and Graham Hill (five), Alain Prost (four), Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart (three each).

It was Rosberg’s tenth career win, putting him level with James Hunt, Ronnie Peterson, Jody Scheckter and Gerhard Berger.

Hamilton led at Monaco for the first time since 2008, when he last won it. 2008 was also the last time the race was not won by the pole sitter.

This was Hamilton’s 43rd career pole position – two more will see him equal Sebastian Vettel, who has more than any other driver currently competing.

Despite his disappointment, Hamilton sustained his streaks of consecutive front row starts (14) and podium finishes (13). It was also the 25th consecutive podium finish for Mercedes. They are only the second team in F1 history to reach this milestone, yet they are not even halfway towards equalling the record held by Ferrari. The Scuderia had at least one car on the podium for 53 races from 1999 to 2002.

Mercedes established a new record as for the 25th race in a row the pole sitter was powered by one of their engines. This streak began at the start of last year: the only pole set by a non-works Mercedes since then was Felipe Massa’s in Austria last year.

For the first time since the end of 2013 no Williams driver finished in the points, ending their 24-race-long streak of scoring.

Jenson Button gave McLaren their first points score this year. These were also the first points for a McLaren-Honda since Berger concluded their previous partnership with victory at Adelaide in 1992.

Daniil Kvyat finally improved on his career-best finish of ninth, which he’d managed five times before, by taking fourth place.

Kimi Raikkonen is now the only driver to have participated in every qualifying session this year without beating his team mate.

The direction of the sport has been absurd for years. This is the result.

I am really sad to see the forum in this state. =[ I think it's down to the state of F1 for sure, but still, there have been a whole lot of members who have gone quiet over the years - I know I've been much less vocal lately. Life definitely changes, free time comes and goes. This forum was a really enjoyable place to go for me, though, especially through some tough and lonely times I had. I'd like to see it come alive again.
Requiescat in pace, Jules Bianchi
