Vettel on pole at Monza!

Astonishing result with Vettel and Bourdais 1st and 4th - remember this is the old Minardi team! Bravo Toro Rosso!

Dramatic qualifying session in the wet with some tyre and set up gambles from the leading runners saw an amazing result with Vettel on pole on real merit - with Bourdais 4th.

Another shock result was the fact that both Lewis and Kimi did not make Q3 - both drivers starting 14th and 15th!

Just imagine you are Dieter from Red Bull - 3 cars in the top 4 - but kind of the wrong way round budget wise...ok the Ferrari engine is mega BUT the TR boys are at the front on merit...
