Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg completed his clean sweep of Monaco Grand Prix practice session top spots by leading a crash-strewn hour on Saturday morning.
The German’s 1m14.378s lap was nearly seven tenths of a second clear of the rest of the field, although the latter part of the session was interrupted by crashes for Felipe Massa, Romain Grosjean and Adrian Sutil, causing two red flags.
Kimi Raikkonen had a harmless trip down the Mirabeau escape road before taking sixth, followed by Mark Webber, Paul di Resta, Pastor Maldonado and Nico Hulkenberg.

Unbelievable that Kimi had to put a black tape on his helmet! What about Vettel’s heat sensitive scantily clad girlie?! I am really, really hoping, wishing and willing Kimi on to win the Monaco Grand Prix if only to see him tear the black tape off his helmet ON CAMERA while giving a finger wave to Bernie!
