    Daniel: That Q1 session... The farce and the furious

    PhilSlocombe: Vettel is yesterday's man, time to retire.

    Tracey Pankhurst: Why does this seem to be such a big problem at Monza? You don’t seem to see it being a huge issue everywhere else.

    Mercedes have switched to the soft tyre. Valtteri Bottas is breezing around this track. Sensational stuff.

    No further action for any of the cars involved and called to the stewards earlier.

    So, Latifi, Grosjean, Gasly, Perez, Stroll, Albon and Sainz.

    They basically wanted to work out who was to blame, who was at the front of the queue.

    But because of the kerfuffle, they couldn't work out who was at the front, so no one gets in trouble!

    More of the same?

    It's fair to say Williams' George Russell was not happy with that situation either. That was one of the lost bizarre qualifying sessions I have seen. Drivers are desperate for a slip stream and in trying to get it are getting themselves in a mess.

    Vettel out in Q1

    Hirsty: Vettel has a poor car and struggling, no surprise. Hamilton would make it in Q3 with this Ferrari.

    Simon: Finally some great racing, just a shame it’s in Q1 and not on Race Day.

    Josh: Another nightmare for Vettell

    Alex Albon got away with that. He's in a Red Bull that shouldn't be in that position.

    We're just seeing replay of Raikkonen's troubles. "He's blocking me all the time this idiot," he said when stuck behind Ocon. You can add a bleep into that too.

    It all turned into a mess with cars getting into each other's way. Sebastian Vettel was the big loser from that.

  9. First qualifying ends - Vettel outpublished at 14:20 British Summer Time 5 September 2020

    "What a mess," says Sebastian Vettel over the team radio. Alex Albon has saved himself, as has Kimi Raikkonen.

    Romain Grosjean, Sebastian Vettel, Antonio Giovinazzi, George Russell and Nicholas Latifi are out.

    Is this Sunday?! Have I missed a day?!

    Alex Albon is done. He's not improving.

    Vettel pits! The former world champion is out in Q1!

    Lewis Hamilton is going to top the chart but there's massive trouble further back. Sebastian Vettel could be heading out in Q1!

    Kimi Raikkonen almost hits the back of a Renault! In qualifying!

    The Mercedes drivers have come out for another run. The drivers try to manoeuvre their cars into the perfect position for a tow. It's beginning to stack up. Six cars are all within a few metres.

    Chris Lord: Why are people shocked? Red Bull even years of so called dominance never hooked Monza up, only won here twice, and they weren’t romping victories.

    Jeremiah: Hamilton to go for the pole once again. He is proving that to be his new strength.

    Grosjean, Vettel, Giovinazzi, Russell and Latifi and are those in danger. The cars pour out from the pits again with three minutes to go.

    Another lap time is deleted. Just keep it within the lines!

    Alex Albon is the guilty party this time. He could be in trouble.

    Charles Leclerc, last year's pole sitter, is in a spot of danger after that first effort was cancelled. He's having to do the work without the slip stream of his team-mate.

    The Ferrari driver's latest effort is only good enough for 11th. Sebastian Vettel has dropped down to 17th...
