(CNN) -- Like father, like son.
Nico Rosberg won an incident filled Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday 30 years after his father Keke's victory on the famed city circuit.
Rosberg, the pole sitter, led from start to finish in his Mercedes to give the team its first victory of the season. He had been on pole in Spain and Bahrain, the previous two races, but didn't manage to make the podium as tire issues surfaced.
Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull overtook Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton early in the race and hung on for second, ahead of his teammate and last year's winner Mark Webber.
The race had to be stopped for about 20 minutes after a crash involving Pastor Maldonado and Max Chilton on lap 46. Maldonado appeared to be the worst affected but he was able to walk away and later spoke to reporters.
Ferrari's Felipe Massa also crashed, on lap 30, in a similar incident to his accident in practice Saturday.
Via: Rosberg prevails in Monaco
