The sun kept on shining over Monza as three practice sessions were completed. As you'd imagine, Red Bull and McLaren dominated the top of the timesheets, with Mercedes there or thereabouts along with Ferrari. Buemi had something of a big crash on Friday, whilst Nico Rosberg had to change his KERS system to find performance.

The next step is qualifying - three sessions to decide pole position. Monza presents it's own challenges, with high speed corners and plenty of slippery kerbs. We've seen drivers fighting their cars to stay on the racing line, so when they really start pushing it for a qualifying lap, who knows what may happen.

The action begins at 1pm GMT+1 with the Factbyte Factbox opening half an hour beforehand for some fabulous build up.

We've got two home drivers for this weekend, with Jarno Trulli and Tonio Liuzzi representing the Italians. Unfortunately, they don't have the cars underneath them to do anything incredible, but Trulli has returned to his grumbling ways once more. He had to sit out one Friday session with Karun Chandhok taking his car, and after practice he said:

That was a trouble free Friday afternoon for me but honestly I'm not all that happy with the balance of the car at the moment. There's quite a lot of understeer on turn-in and through the exit of the corners and we need to work on dialling that out to find more speed.
