15.38: The Mercedes goes alone, Ricciardo in front of everyone, goes alone and without a wake. The others form a large group again. Sainz gets into the gravel! Bottas, however, flies in the first sector
Five minutes left in the second trimester
15.34: “The big problem was that there were too many cars on the track. I think when we came out of the pits we got stuck, it was not the right time to get the car out. I couldn’t have done anything different. The weekend is not committed, let’s see tomorrow in the race ” Vettel told Sky
15.31: Leclerc is thirteenth, 1.6 seconds behind, seven tenths of Albon, who is currently the last to be admitted to Q3
15.29: HAMILTON SIGNS THE NEW TRACK RECORD! 1.19.092, with the highest average speed in F1 history, over 263 km / h
15.25: Q2 takes place. Eliminated in Q1 Grosjean, Vettel, Giovinazzi, Russell and Latifi
15.21: No Ferrari driver had ever suffered the embarrassment of elimination in Q1, barring breakdowns or accidents, since this qualifying format existed. It was 2006. The traffic that was created in the trail game affected everyone.
15.19: Hamilton improves, 1.19.514. Sebastian Vettel is excluded from the second quarter by 47 thousandths. Leclerc improves and places her in Q2. But it is 929 thousandths of a distance from Hamilton.
15.18: The pilots all go out together, in groups. It looks like a traffic jam in the city center at rush hour. Raikkonen almost muffled Ocon. The Finn is the only one to improve in the first sector.
15.15: Last try for everyone in the first quarter. Leclerc uses the third set of red tires, and this also counts the moment of Ferrari, which cannot even give a safe qualification to Q2.

15.11: At this moment Pérez and Sainz, the first Mercedes pursuers, are separated by half a second. Norris by eight tenths, Verstappen by almost a second
15.10: First lap launched for Verstappen, only seventh. After Gasly’s time was also eliminated, he too has gone beyond the limits of the track. It is not a decision of the commissioners, but there is a sensor that signals even if you leave a few centimeters. And time is erased
Several lap times have been eliminated for passing the white line at the last corner, including Charles Leclerc, Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly.#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 # F1 pic.twitter.com/I2hKGmTWat

15.07: The two Mercedes go out and fly like Racing Points. Bottas does the best part time in this first season in the central sector. And it closes more than a second ahead of Vettel’s time. He is then defeated by Hamilton, 1.19.539
15.05: First times of the two ferrari: 1.21.151 Vettel, 1.20.970 for Leclerc who in the standings has beaten the German 5 out of 7 so far in 2020. The Monegasque’s time, however, is canceled. Obviously he passed on four wheels over the white line at Turn 11. This means he will only get one shot, all-in for Q2.
15.03: It will also be a waking game. On the first attempt in Q1, Leclerc is ahead of Vettel. Although in the game of alternations, it is the German who will take the lead to give the wake of his partner in Monza. In Spa the sides were reversed
15.00: Q1 of the Italian GP starts, which for the 70th time is held at the Monza circuit. It was only in 1980 that the Grand Prix was held on a different circuit, in Imola. They will be the first qualifying sessions without “party mode”, the “magic button” used to gain power for a few laps, decisive so far in Q3. So the same engine mapping from start to finish. In free practice, however, the scenario remained the same: Mercedes ahead of everyone, and the others behind by eight tenths.
14.45: Good afternoon, welcome to direct written qualifications. There are 15 minutes left for the start of Q1 of the Monza GP
From a technical point of view, two important aspects emerged from free practice: the higher-than-expected load that many have chosen at the front end, and the hard tire that is a candidate to be a winning option in the race.
Lewis Hamilton chases seventh pole at Monza. The Briton, the most successful poleman at the Autodromo, the temple of speed in Formula 1.
The six-time world champion is one of only four riders on the current grid to have started at least once from the first frame. Also on the list Sebastian Vettel, in his last Monza GP with Ferrari, the team with the most poles at Monza (21), Kimi Raikkonen and Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton also shares the record for four consecutive poles at Monza with Ayrton senna.
The Mercedes she appeared once more dominant in the first two free practice sessions on Friday. The first day of the Monza GP weekend featured the particularly competitive Alpha Tauri. Ferrari, on the other hand, continues to trudge. “It’s a very difficult car to drive “ Charles Leclerc said on the radio after an off-piste excursion.
The SF1000, Mattia Binotto also admitted, is a machine with high running resistance: a flaw masked last year by engine power. The less powerful power unit compounded this problem in the car’s design philosophy.

F1 GP Monza, qualifying: curiosity
Interestingly, there are only three drivers always present in Q3 at Monza: Alex Albon, Lance Stroll and Sebastien Bourdais.
Dani kvyat, notable in the first two free practice sessions in an Alpha Tauri cheering on Friday, aims to avoid the fifth consecutive elimination in Q2 at Monza. Romain Grosjen also has a negative record to avoid, namely the fourth elimination in Q1, reaching Marcus Ericsson, Timo Glock and Vitantonio Liuzzi on this unwanted list.
Grosjean it could even match his worst start to the season in Formula 1. If he doesn’t finish in the top 10, there would be eight pointless races since the start of the championship, which only happened to him in 2018.
