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.

Italian GP: Free Practice #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES

ITALIAN GP - FREE PRACTICE #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Sebastian Vettel topped the final free practice in front of Ferrari’s home crowds at Monza.

    Despite a small mistake early in the session sending him up the escape road, Vettel enjoyed a solid FP3 to finish fastest with a lap time of 1m20.509s.

    Lewis Hamilton was top of the timings mid-way through the hour long session, but quickly dropped down the order after the Ferraris turned up the engine.

    Vettel led Kimi Raikkonen, initially by just 0.082s before Vettel set his fastest time of the session to go more than half a second quicker than his team-mate.

    Mercedes followed Ferrari by turning up the wick late in the session, allowing Hamilton to jump up to second quickest, where he finished, 0.081s slower than Vettel.

    Raikkonen ended the session third, nearly two tenths of a second behind Vettel, with Valtteri Bottas fourth.

    Max Verstappen was the quickest of the Red Bulls in fifth quickest, ahead of Kevin Magnussen, Esteban Ocon, and Daniel Ricciardo, who was focused on race set up rather than qualifying.

    Charles Leclerc and Romain Grosjean completed the top 10.

    After Marcus Ericsson’s violent crash in FP2, Sauber started the session by testing its DRS. Both cars avoided dramas in the final practice, with Ericsson managing to set the 16th quickest time after completing more laps than any other driver in the session.

    This time, Renault was the team to suffer a DRS issue, with Nico Hulkenberg’s rear wing flap becoming stuck open midway through the hour, bringing his FP3 to an early end. He finished 19th quickest, ahead only of the Toro Rosso of Brendon Hartley.

    Sergio Perez finished just outside the top 10 in P11, ahead of Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz Jnr, Sergey Sirotkin, and Lance Stroll.

    The McLaren duo of Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne took 17th and 18th quickest.

Italian GP: Free Practice #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

ITALIAN GP - FREE PRACTICE #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    The second free practice session of the weekend got off to a terrifying start when Sauber driver, Marcus Ericsson, had a heavy crash only a few minutes into the session.

    Ericcson lost his car near turn 1 and slid along the grass before getting airborne. The Sauber flipped multiple times, bounced on the grass and then flipped a few more times before finally coming to a rest right-side-up.

    It took a few moments, but Ericsson was able to climb out of the car. He was taken to the medical centre right away and it was confirmed he hadn't been injured. He also went on to confirm this himself via a Sauber video message online.

    The accident caused the session to be red flagged while Ericsson's car was removed and the barriers were fixed. The track also needed to be cleared of debris.

    The reasoning behind the crash was that the DRS flap had failed to close. Leclerc went on the radio when the session resumed, to announce he was experiencing a similar issue and the team brought him into the pits promptly. 

    Sebastian Vettel also experienced a crash but in a lesser severity. He spun off the track and tapped the barriers, ending his session. Despite this, he still had the quickest time with a 1:21.105

    Kimi Raikkonen was again in 2nd with a 1:21.375. 

    Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were 3rd and 4th respectively while Max Verstappen completed the top 5 with a 1:22.154.

    Racing Point Force India had another glorious session with both drivers in the top 10. Ocon finished in 7th while Perez was right behind in 8th.

    Ricciardo, Leclerc and Nico Hulkenberg were also in the top 10.

Italian GP: Free Practice #1 - RE-CAP & TIMES

ITALIAN GP - FREE PRACTICE #1 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    As another race weekend begins, it was Sergio Perez who topped a rainy Free Practice 1 in Italy. 

    Perez, who has announced he has signed a contract for 2019, but hasn't yet said where, took the top spot in the session with a 1:34.000.

    Kimi Raikkonen was close behind in second with a 1:34.550, while Perez's team-mate, Ocon, finished in 3rd with a 1:34.593. Ocon's future is currently in doubt as it's looking more likely that Lance Stroll may take over his seat and possibly before this season even ends.

    Brendon Hartley, who is also facing an uncertain future, came 4th on the time-sheets. The Kiwi put in a 1:35.024. Daniel Ricciardo, who faced some mechanical issues early on in the session, rounded up the top 5.

    F2 driver, Lando Norris, was granted another free practice session for McLaren. This time around he took over for Stoffel Vandoorne. It was a rough session for the young British driver though as he finished last in 20th with a 1:38.282.

    It was a good session for Toro Rosso. Not only was Hartley 4th, but Gasly wasn't far behind as he finished in 6th with a 1:35.438.

    Mercedes was unusually further down in the times and not up in front like most sessions. Bottas was 10th and Hamilton 11th. Even further down was Sebastian Vettel, who finished in 17th with a 1:37.867.

    Verstappen, Sainz and Hulkenberg also finished in the top 10.
