Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel won his first Monaco Grand Prix and pulled additional ahead in the championship.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and McLaren's Jenson Button, who briefly led the race, had congested in on Vettel but a late safety car helped the German.
Alonso finished second for the first time in 2011, with Button third and Red Bull's Mark Webber fourth.
Lewis Hamilton became involved in a row over critical comments about stewards after finishing sixth.
The Englishman was called before officials for two separate incidents and, asked why he had been to see stewards five times in six races this year, he said, in fact in jest: "Maybe it's because I'm black. That's what Ali G says."
The race was poised for a exciting finish as Vettel, Alonso and Button were enclosed by less than a second and chasing each other hard.
