Raikkonen pulled off a stunner in the third sector of the lap to blow the previous set record to enter the history books.

This also made him the first Ferrari driver to take pole at Monza after Fernando Alonso in 2010.

The Formula One fans on Twitter went gaga over Iceman's pole. Let's have a look at the best reactions from Twitter

Will Kimi convert the pole to a victory,? Will Ferrari switch drivers to give Vettel a 10 point championship lead over Hamilton? or Will Iceman remain iceman to ignore the orders to take the chequered flag at Monza tomorrow?
