Lewis Hamilton came out with fresher tyres and was surprised to see himself behind a Scuderia Ferrari. Nico Rosberg took the lead in closing stage of the Grand Prix and maintained his lead upfront.

Sebastian Vettel made good use of the tight track and did not allow Hamilton to make an overtaking manoeuvre on him. The British driver had better tyres, however, due to nature of Monaco track it proved impossible to conquer second place.
