Yet another red flagged session in Monaco after Pastor Maldonado hit the barriers and lost his right rear wheel and part of the front wing. He was not the only one who lost control on the track today, Paul di Resta also lost his grip in almost the same place when Nico Rosberg and Sergio Perez lost it last year.
The end of the session found Nico at the top followed closly by Felipe Massa and Sebastian Vettel.
