Free Practice 3 results - Monaco Grand Prix 2015 - Räikkönen hits the barriers in final hour of practice

Sebastian Vettel posted the fastest time

Final practice saw Ferrari post the fastest time with Sebastian Vettel a couple of tenths faster than Nico Rosberg in second and a full half second up on Lewis Hamilton in third. The final hour of practice was red-flagged halfway through when Kimi Räikkönen collided with the barriers. The marshals got things back up and running quickly, but the same could not be said for the Ferrari crew and Kimi didn’t rejoin the action.

Carlos Sainz put together a good lap to finish fifth, whilst the rear of the field was propped up by Manor, Sauber and Williams just ahead.
