It was the sixty-second running of the race as a World Championship event, and seventy-third running overall. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton entered the race with a twenty-point lead over teammate and defending race winner Nico Rosberg in the Drivers' Championship, with Mercedes having a seventy-point lead over Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship.Race preview 20 May 2015 http://www.fia.com/news/f1-2015-monaco-grand-prix-preview Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile 18 June 2015 World Champion Lewis Hamilton secured his first ever Monaco pole position during Saturday's qualifying. In the race, Nico Rosberg took his third consecutive win at Monaco, second win of the season, and the tenth of his career, while Sebastian Vettel finished second. Championship leader Hamilton, who had led for most of the race, moved from first into third place following a "pit stop misjudgement" during a late safety car period, for which his team, Mercedes, later apologised.Weaver Paul Nico Rosberg grabs Monaco F1 GP win after Mercedes pit Lewis Hamilton https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/may/24/nico-rosberg-monaco-f1-gp-win-mercedes-pit-lewis-hamilton The Guardian 18 June 2015 24 May 2015 The renewed McLaren-Honda partnership scored its first points since Honda's return to the sport.

The corner had seen a race-stopping accident involving Pastor Maldonado and Max Chilton in 2013, leading to the changes being made. This resulted in the circuit being officially classified as a new layout. The barrier on the right of the swimming pool chicane was moved back, with new kerbs, to allow for a better view of the corner.

The track soon dried up, and the cars changed to slick tyres. Nico Rosberg had an early shunt when he clipped his front wing exiting the Tabac corner though he did not sustain considerable damage to his car. The two Mercedes drivers swapped places at the top of the time sheets for most of the session, until late improvements pushed Rosberg down the order to finish ninth, more than a second off his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

At the start of the race Hamilton, Rosberg and Vettel maintained their grid positions into the first corner, while Daniil Kvyat managed to overtake team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for fourth. Trying to get past Nico Hülkenberg on the inside of turn five, Fernando Alonso made contact with Hülkenberg, who hit the wall but was able to continue, though at the back of the field. Alonso was reprimanded with a five-second penalty to serve at his first pit stop. Meanwhile, Felipe Massa had also made contact with Hülkenberg, at Sainte Devote damaging his front wing. Massa came into the pit lane for a new wing and equipped the harder tyre compound. Pastor Maldonado suffered from brake problems in the early laps, eventually retiring on lap seven. By lap ten, Hamilton had built a three-second lead over his teammate Rosberg, who was an additional 1.7 seconds ahead of Vettel. While some drivers came into the pit lane for their first regular stop as early as lap 13, the top runners stayed out until lap 37, when Vettel was the first to come in, followed by Rosberg and Hamilton one lap later respectively. Following the stops, Hamilton led Rosberg by seven seconds. Max Verstappen dropped down the order when a problem at the rear of the car caused him to be stationary for 31 seconds during his stop on lap 30. Fernando Alonso, who had been running in ninth place, retired from the race with a gearbox failure on lap 43. By lap 45, Hamilton had extended his lead to ten seconds, while Rosberg remained two seconds ahead of Sebastian Vettel. By lap 59, Verstappen on the fast super-soft tyres was chasing Lotus driver Romain Grosjean for tenth position, with Verstappen making several attempts to pass over the following laps. At the beginning of lap 64, coming into turn one, Verstappen crashed into the back of the Lotus, sending him flying at 30g into the barriers. While he was able to walk away from the accident without injuries, a Virtual Safety Car condition was called by the race director to allow marshals to safely recover the damaged car. This was the first time a Virtual Safety Car had been used in Formula One. Shortly thereafter, the regular safety car was sent out on track. Lewis Hamilton, who had been leading the race by almost twenty seconds, was pitted apparently with the intention of returning him to the track ahead of his pursuers. The Mercedes pitwall crew, however, miscalculated the gap allowing Rosberg to take the lead while Hamilton emerged from the pit exit lane marginally behind Vettel who had stayed out under the safety car behind Rosberg.Parkes Ian Mercedes F1 team apologises to Lewis Hamilton for Monaco GP error http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/119156?source=mostpopular Autosport 24 May 2015 With the safety car coming into the pit lane on lap 70 of 78, Rosberg retained the lead unchallenged going on to win the Monaco Grand Prix for a third consecutive time whereas Hamilton finished third, unable to overtake Vettel for second position. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2015/may/24/monaco-grand-prix-f1-live Monaco Grand Prix: F1 – as it happened 24 May 2015 The Guardian 26 May 2015Johnson Daniel https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/11627296/Monaco-Grand-Prix-2015-Lewis-Hamiltons-dream-victory-shattered-by-Mercedes-strategy-blunder.html Monaco Grand Prix 2015: Lewis Hamilton's dream victory shattered by Mercedes' strategy blunder 24 May 2015 The Daily Telegraph 26 May 2015 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/formula1/32537717 How Monaco drama unfolded BBC Sport 24 May 2015 24 May 2015 Daniel Ricciardo had also made a pit stop under the safety car, and on fresh tyres he was able to pass Kimi Räikkönen in controversial circumstances.Collantine Keith Raikkonen fumes over Ricciardo pass http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2015/05/24/raikkonen-fumes-over-ricciardo-pass/ F1Fanatic 6 June 2015 24 May 2015 His teammate Kvyat then let him past in order to give him the chance to try and pass third-placed Hamilton.

Hamilton, as race leader, caught up with the safety car in sector 2 already and thus lost a considerable amount of time on his way into the pit lane compared to every other driver, causing him to exit behind Rosberg and Vettel. During the post-race press conference, Hamilton revealed the decision to pit him was made after he had voiced concern over the heat in his tyres, being under the false impression that his rivals behind had already made a pit stop for the softer compound. When asked whether he would have full confidence in the team's strategy decisions in the future, he answered "yes".F1 Monaco Grand Prix: Post-race press conference http://www.crash.net/f1/feature/219217/1/monaco-grand-prix-postrace-press-conference.html crash.net 25 May 2015 24 May 2015 At the podium interviews, conducted by Martin Brundle, Rosberg admitted his victory "was just a lot of luck" and added that "Lewis drove brilliantly and he would have also deserved the win for sure".
