Qualifying at Monza yesterday didn't throw up any surprises, but we still should be in for a fantastic race on arguably the quickest circuit. Vettel again took Pole but the McLarens were both close behind, Hamilton second and Button third. The likes of Fabio Capello and the Ferrari chief executive were there and managed to see Alonso sneak into fourth after poor performances during the practice sessions. Webber decided to keep his old engine whereas his rivals have all opted for the new engine, it seems that Webber may suffer for this decision as he starts fifth with Massa sixth. Petrov will start seventh with the two Mercedes' side by side, Schumacher ahead of Rosberg. Bruno Senna will be driving with Renault for the rest of the season and he will start tenth after not posting a time in Q3.
Paul Di Resta was eliminated in Q2 in the final seconds for the second time in a row and will start eleventh ahead of Sutil in twelfth. The two Williams' also line up alongside each other with Barrichello out qualifying Maldonado, Maldonado looked like he was going to miss out after he crashed in Q1. But with ten and a half minutes remaining, Maldonado was able to post a time to make it to Q2. Buemi sits sixteenth in a Sauber sandwich with Perez ahead of him and Kobayashi behind.
It was the usual six plus one to leave qualifying in Q1, although it wasn't a surprising plus one. Not for the first time, Alguersuari failed to make the grade and will start eighteenth. But, so far this season, those who have started down there tend to score points which Alguersuari has done before. Trulli managed to out-qualify Kovalainen into nineteenth, Glock again out-qualified D'Ambrosio into twenty-first and Ricciardo out-qualified Liuzzi for the first time into twenty-third.
