Monaco GP - A tough afternoon for the Scuderia

Monaco, 26 May
GP MONACO F1/2013
Fernando Alonso gave Scuderia Ferrari a seventh place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix. Felipe Massa had to retire after an accident on lap 29 of the 78 lap race.

The race was red flagged after 45 laps because of a crash involving Pastor Maldonado, before being restarted for the remaining 33 laps. The closing stages featured plenty of mid-field action to keep the large crowd entertained. Alonso brought home six points, thus maintaining his third place in the championship.

Massa started from the back row of the grid and climbed up as high as sixteenth. He made his pit stop on lap 26, going from Super Soft to Soft tyres. Three laps later, his race came to abrupt end when he hit the barriers on the outside of the start finish straight heading for the Ste. Devote corner. Once out of the car he was taken to hospital for a check-up, where the doctors gave him a clean bill of health.

The race was won by Nico Rosberg for Mercedes.
