Well, that's the chequered flag with the track already cleared. A pretty strange session. Rosberg was fastest from Massa and Vettel with Alonso and Grosjean behind.

The clock keeps ticking, so less than two minutes left now.

It turns to a red flag as the circuit requires clearing of debris, and Maldonado's Williams has to be lifted away.

Maldonado clips the wall on Casino Square, and that's a real mistake as he clatters the left side of his car. The yellow flag is out! That was very strange indeed...
11:52
Replays show Vettel flying over a kerb exiting the Swimming Pool section and he taps the wall without causing any damage - that could have been nasty!
11:50
Button stays fifth but improves to 1:15.471 as Massa goes second with a 1:15.197.
11:49
Me reckons 'Hulk' is an outside bet for the podium, while Tony is backing Alonso and Ferrari all the way! Jimmyboy is just happy to be following events in Monaco...
11:47
Button's first lap on the supersofts is 1:15.950, and he is one of the last to make an impact.
11:45
Massa is really improving as he stays third, but now is just 0.072s slower than Rosberg and 0.021s off Alonso.
11:43
Massa is again the third fastest as he continues to improve steadily, while Webber goes seventh fastest on a 1:16.219.
11:41
Alonso improves to a 1:15.210, fractionally slower than Rosberg after losing time in the final sector.
11:40
Grosjean backs off considerably as he effectively abandons a lap, while Alonso continues to hammer it round.
11:38
Alonso goes second on the supersoft tyres, with Grosjean looking extremely quick in the Lotus.
11:36
Hamilton encounters a horrible lock up in to Ste Devote, but he just keeps his car away from the wall and manages to carry on.
11:34
Raikkonen goes seventh with a 1:16.301, while Rosberg posts a 1:15.159.
11:32
Rosberg, on the supersofts, goes fastest with 1:15.751, while Massa is now just 0.068s slower than Grosjean.
11:30
Massa goes second with a 1:16.070 and he really needs a big weekend in his Ferrari!
11:28
Raikkonen heads out with the super-soft tyres, and this will be interesting. Perez continues to perform admirably so far in this session.
11:26
Alonso goes third fastest with a time of 1:16.340 and he has been lauded from many quarters for his consistency in a tricky car.
