F1 2013: The Italian GP @ the temple of speed

[Ferry_vO]

Q1 very close, with less than a second between P1 and P18!

Out are:

17: Gutierrez
18: Bottas
19: Van der Garde
20: Pic
21: Bianchi
22: Chilton

No real surprises there yet!

Q2 also very close, with a few surpirses out of contention:

11: Raikkonen
12: Hamilton
13: Grosjean
14: Sutil
15: Maldonado
16: Di Resta

Surprising result for both STR cars and Hulkenberg in the Sauber, but Vettel looks set for another pole, with maybe Alonso also on the front row.

A front row lock-out for Red Bull, but a sensational third for Nico Hulkenberg in the Sauber!

Massa out qualified his team mate, despite Always having to create a tow for Alonso every time they went out during the sessions.

1: Vettel
2: Webber
3: Hulkenberg
4: Massa
5: Alonso
6: Rosberg
7: Ricciardo
8: Perez
9: Button
10: Vergne

Congratulations to Vettel and Red Bull for another win, and most likely both titles as well. Looks like the rest of the season will be as boring as the last two races..
