NICO ROSBERG admits his third successive victory in the Monaco Grand Prix was "lucky".
Nico Rosberg says his win in Monaco was lucky
An error of judgement from Mercedes to pit teammate Lewis Hamilton under the safety car allowed the German to pass the reigning world champion.
And Rosberg who had trailed Hamilton all weekend, said of his surprise victory: "Very, very happy of course. I know it was just a lot of luck today.
"Lewis drove brilliantly and would have deserved the win for sure but that's the way it is in racing.
"It's difficult in the car to judge what decisions are being made. It was hard to do the restart with the hard tyres which were very cold.
"I know I got lucky today, I will just enjoy the moment now. Lewis was a little bit stronger this weekend so I have to work hard."
