Fernando Alonso on Saturday morning badly damaged his Ferrari in the last practice session before qualifying.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard, who had been fastest in Thursday’s two preceding practice sessions, smashed into the barriers at Massenet, causing both right wheels to break off.<\/p>\n
On his return to the paddock on foot, Alonso admitted to BBC radio that the accident was his mistake.<\/p>\n
Also on the edge of an accident in the 60-minute session, which finished with just two hours to go before qualifying, was the sister Ferrari, even though Felipe Massa clocked the second fastest time.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian almost hit the wall at least twice; once exiting the Swimming Pool chicane, and also when he ran wide at the Loews hairpin.<\/p>\n
Adrian Sutil’s Force India needs a new rear wing after he spun into the barriers at Casino Square, while Michael Schumacher and Vitaly Petrov had to hit reverse gear after running into escape roads.<\/p>\n
Robert Kubica emerged from the session with the fastest time.<\/p>\n
“Anything can happen, especially here in Monaco, and things change very quickly in Monaco,” he said after also impressing on Thursday.<\/p>\n
