MONACO GP - ALL VERY CLOSE
Company press release.
Monaco, 23 May – Nico Rosberg had the honour of topping the first Monaco Grand Prix timesheet of the weekend. He set the fastest time in the first free practice session of the sixth round of the World Championship, which as always here takes place on Thursday, with Friday being a day with no F1 track action. On this the most glamorous and exciting circuit on the calendar, the gaps between the front runners are all very close. Rosberg did a 1.16.195 in the Mercedes ahead of Fernando Alonso who took his Ferrari round in 1.16.282, with Romain Grosjean third for Lotus in 1.16.380. In the other F138, Felipe Massa was fourth with a time of 1.16.394. Both Ferrari men used just one set of the Soft tyre, the harder of the two compounds, while working on set-up, before ending the session with a few practice starts off the grid, as usual here in Monaco.
