Ferrari's Fernando Alonso paced the final practice session Saturday morning ahead of Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix (SPEED, 7:30a ET/4:30a PT).
Alonso's (1:14.433) lap was a little over a half-second (.563) quicker than Jenson Button's best effort (1:14.996) in the McLaren-Mercedes.
Third fastest Felipe Massa nearly mirrored Button's best lap (1:15.024).
Despite barely using his DRS or the super soft tires like those ahead of him, reigning World Champion and current points leader Sebastian Vettel was fourth fast (1:15.245).
Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher (1:15.310) topped the final Saturday session early, dropped down to 14th, then climbed back to fifth by the end of the crash-filled session slowed by two red flags.

German driver Nico Rosberg walked away from a scary crash merely eight minutes into the session, bringing out the red flag. Rosberg's Mercedes sustained heavy damage coming into the Nouvelle chicane, losing control under braking compounded by low tire pressures according to team radio reports.
Vitantonio Liuzzi crashed his HRT-Cosworth exiting Ste Devote bringing out the second and final red flag of the Saturday session.
