Monaco GP: Rosberg tops final practice

Nico Rosberg set the fastest time in the final free practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix just faster than Felipe Massa's Ferrari.

The session ended early when Spanish Grand Prix winner Pastor Maldonado collided with Sergio Perez's Sauber at Portier and then lost control of his Williams on the entrance to Casino Square. He lost his left rear wheel as the car went out of control, before the FW34 came to rest at Mirabeau with three minutes of the session remaining.

Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari were third and fourth.
