  1. It's a good day for Lance Strollpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 7 September 2019

    Not only did he make it into Q3, but he will go at least ninth, which will be one of his highest qualifying places.

    He made it to P2 in 2017 at Monza, and he has never been on pole.

    Bottas has had a time reinstated and he goes third! 0.047 seconds behind Leclerc at the top.

    The session is still red flagged for now.

    I think Vettel went all four wheels off the track. I don't think that will count for Vettel.

    Kimi Raikkonen is in the wallpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 7 September 2019

    Last year's pole sitter, Kimi Raikkonen, is in the wall at Parabolica (Turn 11), for the second time this weekend, and the session has been stopped. The Finn is out of the car, but his car doesn't look so healthy as the rear of it smashed into the tyre barrier.

    So, Hamilton does a practice start which put Ferrari at the front, then Vettel and Leclerc went through the run-off area at Turn One.

    George Russell speaking to Sky Sports says: "I think we were only 0.5 sec behind the pack ahead. One of the guys ahead of me went through the gravel so when I got there there was gravel on the track which ruined my lap."

    Giovinazzi's qualifying is good.

    His races are too strewn with errors.

    But he's put himself into a good position and two thousandths is not the end of the world.
