"Mercedes are changing Nico Rosberg's engine to his Spa unit after discovering a problem. Means he will be down on performance compared to Lewis Hamilton.
"Also uncertainty about the state of Daniel Ricciardo's car following his engine failure in final practice."

We've got some great highlights on the site of past Monza races, including the 1999 Italian Grand Prix when Mika Hakkinen let slip the veneer to unwittingly reveal his more emotional side.
Having spun off the track in his McLaren from the front, Hakkinen threw off his gloves and went to find a private area, some bushes, where he crouched and cried, thinking he was out of the sight of any watching eyes.
Except, unfortunately for him, there was a helicopter above that caught it all...

"Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was using a brand new engine that would add to the 25 grid positions worth of penalties he had already accrued, but that failed in the course of the session, team boss Christian Horner saying the problem was "terminal".
"Earlier, Horner attempted to make a joke of the situation, saying the competition for who can take the most penalties was closer than that at the front of the grid."
Read Andrew Benson's report from third practice here.

A hydraulics issue cut short his time on the circuit in third practice as Red Bull's Renault engine woes continued.
Did you know that Monza has been witness to the fastest lap in F1 history? Or that the town of Monza once banned goldfish bowls. Find out why here.
Image source, Getty ImagesMonza will host an unparalleled 65th grand prix on Sunday, but its future on the F1 calendar is very much up in the air.
There is currently no deal in place for the circuit to host a race beyond next year, with negotiations having reached an impasse.
“It would be a shame to lose it because you have a historic circuit here. It should be here for the rest of Formula 1's life,” said Lewis Hamilton., external
“When you go to a new circuit, Ayrton Senna didn’t drive there, Fangio didn’t drive there. The greats. There is no history there. Italy and Ferrari are huge parts of this sport. This is an area you can’t lose.”
Out and about? At home with an afternoon dedicated to Formula 1? Whatever you are doing, here's how you can follow the action today.
Qualifying gets under way at 13:00 BST, with BBC Radio 5 live coverage starting five minutes before then on radio and online.
Highlights will then be on BBC One at 17:00.

Image source, AP“The clouds and thunderstorm of early morning are long gone, and with them the wet track they created. In their place is a gorgeous Italian early autumn afternoon, with bright sunshine and big blue skies, the foothills of the Italian alps clearly visible in the distance to the north of this atmospheric old autodromo.
"A reminder of this place’s long history will come ahead of qualifying, when Sir Jackie Stewart laps the track in the BRM in which the legendary Scot took the first of his 27 grand prix victories back in 1965. Stewart took three world titles in his illustrious career - a tally Lewis Hamilton already seems almost certain to match in 2015. His 11th pole in 12 races looks almost as much a formality.
"Can Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg or Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel do anything to prevent it?”
Image source, Getty Images"Help us Sebastian Vettel, you're our only hope."
That, I promise, is the last tenuous Star Wars-reference I will be making because of the presence of George Lucas in the paddock today.
There is, though, an element of truth about that quote. Given Kimi Raikkonen's struggles to compete for race wins this year Sebastian Vettel - winner in Malaysia and Hungary this season - is Ferrari's most realistic hope of scoring a victory at the Italian Grand Prix.
The German was second fastest in final practice this morning, will he challenge Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg for pole in qualifying this afternoon?
Image source, Getty ImagesIt is five years since the Tifosi were last able to celebrate a Ferrari win at Monza, Fernando Alonso securing victory back in 2010.
Since then only Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have climbed the top step at the Italian Grand Prix.
The good news for Ferrari fans? Vettel is now racing in their team's colours.
If final practice is anything to go by, the German might just be the man to give those success-hungry home fans something to cheer this weekend...
OK we are just going to shut things down for a 45 minutes for a little break but we'll back at 12:00 BST for build up to qualifying.
Here's a link to Andrew Benson's report and we'll see you shortly.

That will be a welcome sight for the tifosi.
