For the first time since Brazil 2008 a Ferrari will start a Grand Prix from pole position and could it have been at a better track!?

Indeed, Fernando Alonso’s performance marks only the second time a non Red Bull driver has occupied the top spot in 2010. So, with the positive result in Paris earlier in the week and a super strong show on track today, was the 2010 Italian Grand Prix qualifying as good for the F1 fans as it was for the Scuderia?


Qualifying One

Glock opened the session with a 1:31:692, and we were treated with some early action when Petrov blocked the German driver whilst exiting the pits. Glock was furious; Petrov will no doubt face a penalty.

It was clear from this early session that both McLarens, Ferraris, and even the Williams cars looked fast. It also looked as if the Red Bulls were delivering on their fearful comments that Italy would not be a strong track for them.

McLaren seem to be carrying out an experiment this weekend and it was interesting to see such visually different set ups for the silver cars. Button, with the larger shark fin and "F duct" was racing with a much heavier downforce set up than his team mate.

Having been on holiday for the last race, and having to cope with the less than informative French coverage of Spa, it was refreshing to see that the directors of the Italian GP had finally decided to display all 24 drivers' positions and times down the left hand side of the screen (rather than cutting out positions two through to six to fit larger names down the side).



It was with this very welcome addition that I can tell you the full standings with seven minutes remaining:

Alonso, Hamilton, Massa, Button, Rosberg, Barrichello, Hulkenberg, Vettel, Webber, Kobayashi, Petrov, de la Rossa, Schumacher, Buemi, Alguersuari, Suttil, Liuzzi, Glock, Trulli, Kovalainen, di Grassi, Senna, Yamamoto.
