Ferrari fans can celebrate on Saturday at Monza, as home hero
Charles Leclerc has taken pole position for the
Italian Grand Prix. The rest of the grid will be shuffled, with at least nine drivers receiving grid penalties for Sunday's race.
Leclerc will be looking to turn his pole into victory on Sunday. The Monegasque last won the Italian GP in 2019, and after all the team's bad luck, a win at
Ferrari's home circuit will be very welcome.
Carlos Sainz finished P3 in qualifying, but the Spaniard will have to start at the back of the grid on Sunday.
Max Verstappen and team-mate
Sergio Perez set the second and fourth fastest times. The Dutchman will also lose a few places on Sunday.
Mercedes is back in third place with
Lewis Hamilton and
George Russell on P5 and P6. It is not a surprise as the W13 is not strong on circuits with many straights.
De Vries impresses
Daniel Ricciardo and
Lando Norris also do good business for
McLaren with P7 and P8.
Pierre Gasly and Fernando Alonso completed the top ten.
Nyck de Vries, who replaces
Alexander Albon at
Williams this weekend, recorded the 13th fastest time and beat
Nicholas Latifi. De Vries will start from the top ten on Sunday after all grid penalties.
