Friday Free Practise Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo - McLaren-Mercedes' Heikki Kovalainen on Saturday posted the fastest time in the free practise for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix. The Finn needed 1 minute 16.567 seconds for the track that winds itself through the streets of Monte Carlo for 3.340 kilometer and was then helped by a slight drizzle that prevented any drivers after him from bettering the time.

Kovalainen's team-mate Lewis Hamilton was .517 seconds slower, while Kimi Raikkonen in a Ferrari had the third fastest time, while Felipe Massa in the other Ferrari finished three places behind.

The grid position for the race will be determined later Saturday in the qualifying.

Ahead of the sixth race of the season on Sunday, Raikkonen leads the drivers' standings on 35 points, with Massa and Hamilton following on 28 apiece.

Ferrari lead the constructors' standings with 63 points, 19 more than BMW-Sauber and 21 more than McLaren.
