Italian GP: Qualifying - RE-CAP & RESULTS

ITALIAN GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    It was an all Ferrari front row lock-out as Kimi Raikkonen took Pole Position in front of the Tifosi and also set a new record for lap at the quickest speed in F1 history. 

    There were multiple penalties due to engine component changes and Hulkenberg's 10-Place-Grid-Penalty for the collision he caused in Belgium last week. 

    There was also an on-track scuffle between Alonso and Magnussen during Q2 but no penalties were given.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
