MONACO: Mark Webber won the Monaco Grand Prix from the pole on Sunday to lead a Red Bull 1-2 finish on the famous street circuit.
Webber's fourth career win moved him top of the Formula One standings ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel, who overtook Robert Kubica of Renault at the start and finished 0.4 seconds behind. Both Red Bull drivers have 78 points from six races, but Webber leads thanks to his two race wins.
"To win here is a very, very special day," said Webber, the second Australian driver - after Jack Brabham - to win the iconic seaside race. "This place is such a test for two hours."
Kubica held on to third place, while Felipe Massa of Ferrari was fourth ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
