5 things we learned from Italian GP Qualifying

#2 Ferrari are back

The home team at this race, Ferrari have more than their own pride to race for today. Home fans, or tifosi as they are known, are famously strong in their unwavering loyalty to the team, and Raikkonen and Vettel will have to live up to this. The drivers finished well at qualifying yesterday, with Raikkonen outperforming his 4-time world champion teammate Vettel.

Raikkonen was only 0.25s behind polesitter Hamilton, so it looks hopeful that the team will do well today. The Iceman has never won at the race, however, and polesitters at Monza have tended to win the race as well, as Hamilton did last year.

Vettel has won at Monza before – a whopping three times, twice with Red Bull and once with Toro Rosso, and will look to build on his wealth of experience here.
