DING DING! Round two as the drivers head out for one final lap.

Quote MessageFerrari have not had a pole at Monza since Fernando Alonso in 2010. It would be massive if they could get one car and maybe two in front of Rosberg.
The Ferrari fans like that! Huge cheers and vigorous flag waving as Sebastian Vettel currently sits second fastest after that first effort. Kimi Raikkonen third fastest.
Could we be on course for a Ferrari on the front row at Monza?

Quote MessageAll out of that excitement left Rosberg in sixth place, he is struggling to find the balance to attack the lap.
Nico Rosberg dips below 1:24 to briefly go top but he quickly tumbles down the timing board to sixth as Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen all go faster.
It is Hamilton who leads the way after that, with a 1:23.397. Everyone heads back in to prepare for one final attempt of locking down a strong position on the grid.
Lewis Hamilton's pole time from last year - a 1:24.109 - has already been beaten. The Briton heads on out, with Nico Hulkenberg already out there and he puts a first time of this session on the board with a 1:25.317.

Quote MessageLewis Hamilton looks unstoppable, but it is the fight behind between the two Ferraris and Rosberg - there is nothing to separate them.
Right then. Here we go. The top-10 shootout is under way. Will it be a Mercedes on pole? Or can Ferrari give their fans something to cheer about?
Time to find out.
1) Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Raikkonen 4) Rosberg 5) Massa 6) Bottas 7) Perez 8) Grosjean 9) Ericsson 10) Hulkenberg
11) Maldonado 12) Nasr 13) Sainz 14) Kvyat
No time - Ricciardo,
Lewis Hamilton finishes fastest in the second part of qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix.
Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz emerge for a lap but their efforts are not good enough to get them through. Daniel Ricciardo, with his 25-place grid penalty to come, opts to stay in the garage.

Quote MessageThe average speed on the lap is 160mph, which shows the high speed nature of this circuit.
Sebastian Vettel rolls out for another run as his Ferrari team-mate stays put. Nico Rosberg is also back out.

Four minutes left and it is Felipe Nasr and Romain Grosjean in danger at the moment from the 12 drivers to have set a lap time in Q2. Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat are yet to venture out of their garages.
Then Kimi Raikkonen goes second fastest and you'd imagine that's Ferrari safely through to Q3, something they hadn't managed to do in three of the last five races.

Cheers from the stands as Sebastian Vettel weaves his way around the circuit. He goes fastest in the middle sector...and completes his lap with the second fastest time, half a second down on Lewis Hamilton's benchmark.
