00:00So everybody, willing Sebastian Vettel on I'm sure, still a very popular driver in Italy, goes 14th fastest, but now down to 15th as Bottas goes 11th quickest, Vettel still at risk as Joe goes 6th fastest, Sebastian Vettel's out at qualifying as Gasly goes 7th fastest, so Aston Martin have one driver out, they have two drivers out, both out in Q3 as Nick De Vries puts his Williams up into the top 12 here.
00:30In his first ever Formula 1 qualifying session, looks good doesn't he to make it out of Q1, Fernando Alonso 9th, and let's now look at the two McLarens as Lewis Hamilton goes 9th fastest, Daniel Ricciardo needs to find pace and needs to find speed with his teammate Lando Norris the right side of that relegation line, he'll take the chequered flag Ricciardo and he does move out of the bottom 5, Latifi goes into that bottom 5 and Andreas Seidel looks on from
00:59the McLaren pit wall, stares impassively at the screens as once again, his team not as fast as he would like them, but this time around both Norris and Ricciardo did make it out of Q1.
01:11So well done to Nick De Vries for getting out of Q1 in his first ever qualifying session, but his teammate Nicholas Satifi, Vettel, Stroll, Magnussen and Schumacher are all out.
01:20Bottas, Bottas, who was on the front row here in 2020, was third on the grid in 2019, trying to get himself out of the bottom 5 as Nick De Vries, makes the tyres squeal and he's probably adding to that noise underneath the crash helmet himself, that is his qualifying over.
01:40Yeah, he locked the rear axle under heavy braking, the weight transfer I was telling you about earlier on, and then you start downshifting in the back axle, it's like pulling the handbrake on basically.
01:49Sorry about that, I locked up the rears into turn 4.
01:53Bottas will be the next to cross the line, sees the cheque of flags, stays sadly for him in that bottom 5, only by a few hundreds.
02:03His teammate Joe Guanyu for Alfa Romeo also in that bottom 5. Norris at risk, but one by one they're kind of falling by the wayside.
02:11His Pierre Gasly doesn't improve, stays 8th fastest, Lando Norris goes 7th fastest, puts some daylight between himself and that bottom 5 as Ocon now goes into it with Daniel Ricciardo into Q3.
02:22Fernando Alonso next to cross the line, 9th fastest for him. Esteban Ocon will take a 5 place grid penalty, crosses the line and he's not made it into the top 10.
02:33Pierre Gasly hasn't reached Q3 in any of the last 7 races, but the former winner for Alfa Tauri here has made it into Q3 only just this afternoon, 10th fastest.
02:43He's flying along Carlos Sainz in the second Ferrari with a penalty to come yet for power units of course, but he just looks quicker than Leclerc.
02:54He certainly does and has been a little bit quicker than Charles Leclerc in many of the recent qualifying sessions.
03:00He's only out qualified his teammate four times this year, but they've come quite recently as down the main straight we go with Carlos Sainz ahead of Charles Leclerc by just under a couple of tenths of a second.
03:13Verstappen will be next across the line, only third fastest for Max Verstappen. Lewis Hamilton goes sixth fastest for Mercedes, but what about his teammate George Russell who goes ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris then slots somewhere in between the two Mercedes.
03:31Charles Leclerc, the man we're expecting after all the penalties have been applied to start from pole position, a little bit compromised on his warm up lap, but he's got it slowed down nicely for the first chicane.
03:4227 ones apiece in the first sector for Gasly and for Alonso Perez with a tenth of a second slower in his Red Bull, a 26.8 though for Carlos Sainz and a 27.0 for Lando Norris, but Charles Leclerc, 26.7, he's just a few thousandths of a second outside his target time.
04:04Yeah, he's been in all the right places on the racetrack as well, leaving a nice margin for track limits and pushing that one quite hard though.
04:14Now just ease it left, I think they're avoiding some bumps as well, particularly on the way down to Parabolica.
04:20The beautiful Ascari chicane and the crowd are cheering him on.
04:27Yeah, you can hear it and we can see the crowd standing up and applauding as they see Charles Leclerc acing that middle sector.
04:35Pierre Gasly has had a lap time deleted for exceeding track limits.
04:39Not helpful for him as Leclerc now will make his way down that back straight.
04:44Carlos Sainz increases his advantage out in front.
04:48Charles Leclerc crosses the line into the 1.20s.1.
04:53Charles Leclerc will put that Ferrari on pole here at Monza.
04:58Verstappen had a very fine middle sector and the crowd cheer as they realize that Leclerc has a better time than Max Verstappen
05:09and that it will be a pole for Ferrari here at Monza at their home Grand Prix.
05:16Charles Leclerc for the eighth time this season, the first Ferrari driver since Michael Schumacher in 2004
05:22to take eight poles during the course of a season and for Ferrari a 22nd Italian Grand Prix pole.
05:30It was Charles Leclerc, it was always going to be Charles Leclerc and he's delivered for them.
05:35So, B1.
05:38Come on!
05:40Yes!
05:41Ha!
05:42Que bello!
05:44Adesso ragazzi, domani.
05:47Domani.
05:48Domani.
05:49Grandi, grazie.
05:52It's Leclerc on pole.
05:55George Russell, I think, is going to start on the front row alongside Charles Leclerc.
06:00Verstappen, Sainz, Perez, Hamilton all take penalties.
06:04And will disappear from the top five promoting Russell and Norris and Ricciardo.
