Kimi Raikkonen sets the benchmark - 1:48.205 - but that gets slaughtered by Jenson Button who has chosen the low downforce setting on his car compared to the high downforce one of team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Button clocks 1:47.6868 which is only fractionally slower than that mighty lap in the second part of qualifying.
Damit, Button 1st and Raikkonen 2nd at this point (my dream team) where the hell did Kobayashi and Maldonado come from???? bugger.

Pastor Maldonado acknowledges that he is in need of taming his driving style in order to reap the most of his equipment.
Maintaining his character, the Maracay man added that Monza – scene of the final European race of the season this weekend – does possess overtaking opportunities.

FINAL QUALIFYING ENDS
*LEWIS HAMILTON WILL START ON POLE FOR THE ITALIAN GRAND PRIX*
In Summary: BBC
Hamilton on pole, Button 2nd for McLaren one-two
Massa 3rd, Di Resta 4th fastest
Alonso 10th.
Like the Mc 1/2 and I am very happy for Massa in 3rd, the guy has been taking a lot of flak lately, which I find totally undeserved.
Schumacher 4th Vettel 5th, Raikkonen 7th Kobayashi 8th, could make for an interesting start to the race.
Brilliant drive by Di Resta to end up in 9th with his Force India
1403: BBC
THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
No, he can't! That's unbelievable. Fernando Alonso has finished 10th fastest, 1.6 seconds off the pace. Something must have happened to him on that final flying lap.
Oh dear..... :-^
Fernando Alonso on Twitter: "After the qualy, we miss the fight for "pole" with a failure! I think tomorrow will be a perfect day to recover some good positions."

I'm giving this up as a bad job - I've followed Button all season but last week went for Hamilton, Button wins. This week went for Button and Hamilton wins -I must be a jinx

Was a good result. But i had a shocker last week when Alonso and perez didnt finish. Have kept with the same drivers and cars untill last week when i swapped Hamilton for Alonso.I think perez has been the driver of the season so far he has gained me most of my points, never seems to qualify well but boy does he move in the race.

Maldonado has destroyed my season pretty much taking out himself and various mclarens along the way costing me heaps of points.
