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 was only the second of the German's career as it was for his Finnish father in 1983.

Red Bull's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel made it a German one-two to extend his championship lead to 21 points over Finland's Kimi Raikkonen - who finished 10th - after six of the 19 races.

Rosberg's success, on the streets of a town that has been home since his early years, made him the first son of a Monaco Grand Prix winner to win the most glamorous race on the calendar.

Australian Mark Webber, last year's winner and Vettel's team mate, was third ahead of 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton in the other Mercedes after a race that was processional in the early stages behind the silver cars.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso fell back in the title challenge after finishing seventh, with Force India's Adrian Sutil fifth and Jenson Button sixth for McLaren.

Vettel has 107 points, Raikkonen 86 and Alonso 78.
