Nico Rosberg secured pole position at the Circuit de Monaco ahead of the sixth round of the 2013 Formula One World Championship, giving him a strong starting advantage on a street circuit where overtaking is extremely difficult and starting position is especially decisive.
On 26 May 2013, Nico Rosberg converted his pole position into a race victory at the Circuit de Monaco, driving for Mercedes AMG Petronas. It was the seventy-first running of the Monaco Grand Prix, held on the narrow street circuit winding through the principality of Monaco.
