The third and final practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix was the final chance for all 22 drivers to get used to the track and how to deal with traffic during the afternoons knockout qualifying session. Montoya was the fastest McLaren in sixth. Saturday – Third Session

Surprisingly all the drivers behaved very well during the final one hour session, with Fernando Alonso topping the time sheets. Ferrari looked to be in better shape with Michael Schumacher finishing second, whilst David Coulthard popped his Red Bull Ferrari into the top four.

Juan Pablo Montoya was the fastest McLaren in sixth, whilst Kimi Raikkonen was back in tenth, over 1.3 seconds behind the fastest man.

Next up is qualifying, which is expected to be the most exciting all season. With all twenty-two cars running in the first fifteen minutes, tensions will be raising and hands will be waving as the seconds count down. Do not miss it!
