Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' impressive start to the season continues with a second one-two finish in the first five races.

The duo of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton lock out the front row of the grid, with Alonso on pole, and make the most of their advantage around the narrow streets of Monte Carlo.

In a dominant performance, Alonso opens up a big gap on Hamilton in the opening laps, but then runs into traffic.

Although the British driver narrows the gap to three seconds, he rarely threatens Alonso’s lead, and with third-placed Felipe Massa around a minute adrift, coasts home to record his fifth successive podium finish.
