Max Verstappen will lead the F1 field off the line on Sunday at the Italian Grand Prix after taking his fifth pole position of the season.
The Dutchman will have Lando Norris for company on the front row, while championship leader Oscar Piastri will start third.
There's no doubt who the local crowd will be supporting, as tens of thousands of fans at Monza will be cheering on the Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will start fourth and 10th respectively.
Hamilton ended the qualifying session in fifth behind his team-mate but has been demoted due to a five-place grid penalty he picked up at Zandvoort last weekend.
Gabriel Bortoleto will be hoping to add more points to his tally with a top 10 start, while Yuki Tsunoda is seeking a much-needed confidence boost at Red Bull.
Racing Bulls has communicated that Isack Hadjar will start from the pit lane after a power unit change. Alpine's Pierre Gasly has also been confirmed to be starting from the pit-lane after a power unit change of his own.
