Nico Rosberg stole the pole Saturday, and with it Sunday's Grand Prix de Monte Carlo. [View all]

With less than a couple minutes to go in Q3 (qualifying), Rosberg was in the No. 1 position. Hearing that Lewis Hamilton had just established a career best time (well faster than Rosberg's) in the first section of the circuit, Rosberg drove off the track ahead of Hamilton, forcing an area yellow and thus forcing Hamilton to slow his run and qualify in 2nd place.

It's common knowledge that the pole sitter has a near guarantee of winning at Monte Carlo.

Rosberg is a piece of shit.
