    A touching moment as Formula 1 paid its respects to Justin Wilson, the British ex-F1 driver who died last month after suffering a serious head injury in an IndyCar 500 race.

    “Kimi Raikkonen was as surprised as anyone to see himself on the front row. ‘It’s been a while,’ he said. ‘Eight, 10 years, probably.’ Not quite that long, Kimi. In fact, the last time was China 2013, two and a half years ago. 

    "‘We probably surprised ourselves a little bit,’ the Finn said, one corner of his mouth briefly flickering upwards into an almost-smile. What did it mean for him? ‘It’s nice to get it right once in a while,’ he said, referring to his troubles with qualifying that for a while this year looked as if they might cost him his place in F1. 

    "‘I’m very happy, obviously but, you know, the biggest thing is that much less troubles in the first corner if you make a normal start.’”

    "Where we are on the grid is the minimum we could do for the Ferrari supporters. I could hear them pushing us in qualifying, they were like 10 engine tokens for us. We look forward to the race."

    "Lewis Hamilton won himself a hundred or so more Italian fans on his way into Monza this morning. 

    "Hamilton arrived into the track’s chaotic crossroads entry blockage, where the paddock road meets the way to the car parks. On an MV Agusta Brutale Dragster motorbike (look it up), in matte black helmet with mirror visor, white, designer-ripped jeans, Mercedes T-shirt, tattooed arms on show, Hamilton produced clouds of tyre smoke with a burn-out to raucous cheers and then spent several minutes signing autographs. Quite a way to announce an arrival. 

    "Will those same fans be cheering him as he waves from the top step of Monza’s iconic rostrum later? That might not be such a sure thing as you would think...”

    Hello! Welcome to our coverage of the Italian Grand Prix.

    Back in 1988, only one race in that season was won by a team other than McLaren - the Italian Grand Prix.

    It did not prevent Ayrton Senna going on from claiming a first world title, but it was a significant and emotional win for Ferrari, coming soon after the death of the team's founder, Enzo Ferrari.

    The team has recorded eight wins at Monza since that race, but none since 2010. Can either Kimi Raikkonen or Sebastian Vettel, starting from second and third respectively, end a five-year wait?

    Ayrton Senna

    "Senna spins! Into the lead goes Berger and into second goes Alboreto. What a fantastic situation!"

    Those were a stunned Murray Walker's words as Ayrton Senna retired late in the 1988 Italian Grand Prix, allowing Ferrari to go on and score a one-two. 

    Lewis Hamilton, like Senna back then, has been the dominant driver this season and will be expected to record victory at Monza, where he starts on pole.

    But maybe, just like that race 27 years ago, there is a twist in the tale of this year's Italian Grand Prix to come.
