The two Mercedes drivers were within two tenths of each other at Monza, showing just how close that battle is. It was Lewis Hamilton that took the win, and he also scooped the fastest lap of the race as well, with Nico Rosberg having to settle behind for both. Felipe Massa was third fastest with Daniil Kvyat making yet another name for himself as a fast driver on the day.

In the midfield, the McLaren duo of Button and Magnussen were super close, just four hundredths of a second apart, and their lap times set on subsequent laps.
