With Red Bull firmly not on pole for the first time in what feels like forever, the start of this race is going to be something to behold. Ferrari have it all to prove to their local fans, whilst McLaren are putting up something of a fight to keep the championship battle alive.

Weather update

More sunshine will bathe the Monza track today. There's rain forecast for tomorrow, but that is far too late to have any effect on the race. We might not need the conditions to interfere, though, because plenty of drivers have been struggling to keep their cars on the track as it is.

One to watch

Red Bull knew this wasn't going to be a strong circuit for them, but Vettel seems to have hit on tough times more than Webber - if you can call qualifying sixth compared to fourth struggling. Even so, after the action yesterday, he was busy working out how it's going to affect the race for the title.

Looking at the championship, it would be worse if Lewis was on pole. Anything can happen. Speaking about Lewis, he is the fastest on the straight-line. If he has a good race tomorrow, I don't think he has any problems to overtake people. That is why we are here and we will have to find out.

- Sebastian Vettel
