2013 Monaco GP, Practice Three: Rosberg completes hat-trick in crash-ridden session

Nico Rosberg overcame a brush with the wall to complete a hat-trick of fastest times in final practice for the Monaco GP - but Felipe Massa, Adrian Sutil and, for the second time this weekend, Romain Grosjean weren't so lucky on a dramatic return to F1 action on Saturday morning.

The crash brought out the red flags but no sooner had the car and debris been cleared away than Adrian Sutil lost control of his Force India at the top of the hill and slithered into the barriers at Massenet, doing damage to both ends of his VJM06. That was then followed, in the closing seconds of the session, by the sight of Grosjean's Lotus in the barriers at Ste Devote for the second successive F1 session. Having already earlier punctured his left-rear tyre when he tagged the inside barrier at the chicane, Grosjean, having taking an unusual line into the Ste Devote braking zone, saw his E21 swap ends on him under braking and spin into the tyre barrier. "It's a strange one, this one. He's seem to turn in very early, then the back goes out," observed Sky F1's Johnny Herbert. "It could be that he got distracted and once again we've seen him clattering the barriers." "It's very frustrating because this guy's got this immense speed. But he keeps making these silly mistakes." Kimi Raikkonen, who made a small mistake on his best lap, was a second back in sixth ahead of Mark Webber (Red Bull) and Paul di Resta (Force India.)
