F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso lead what was in all honesty a processional Monaco GP from flag to flag. His only real opposition should have come from his hard charging team mate Lewis Hamilton, but as Hamilton dutifully tucked in behind Alonso at the start, it appeared that the two Mclaren drivers had been told not to race each other and risk crashing out both cars. The team had been put before individual glory and Alonso was to take the win.

 Such was the dominance of the McLaren pair that they finished almost a full minute ahead of the third place Ferrari of Fellipe Massa, the only other car on the lead lap. The expecpted charge by the other Ferrari of Kimi Riakkonen from 16th on the grid, following a suspension failure in qualifying, never really materialized.  Perhaps the most impressive drive of an otherwise lack luster event came from  Scott Speed in the Torro Rosso, who dispite failing brakes managed to finish an excellent 9th having worked his way up from near the back of the grid.

The Top 10 finishers were:

1. Fernado Alonso (McLaren)
2. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)
3. Felippe Massa (Ferrari)
4. Giancarlo Fisichella (Renault)
5. Robert Kubica (BMW)
6. Nick Heidfeld (BMW)
7. Alex Wurz (Williams)
8. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
9. Scott Speed (STR)
10. Rubens Barrichelo (Honda)
