Rosberg emulates father with Monaco win


I did it!: German Nico Rosberg of Mercedes celebrates after winning the Monaco Grand Prix at the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco yesterday. Rosberg gave Mercedes a first victory of the Formula One season.

MONACO (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg celebrated a pole-to-flag win for Mercedes in Formula One's showcase Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, 30 years after his world champion father Keke triumphed on the streets of the Mediterranean principality.

The victory, on a sunny crash-strewn afternoon with two safety car deployments and a 25-minute stoppage caused by Pastor Maldonado wrecking his Williams, was only the second of the German's career as it was for his Finnish father in 1983.
