LEWIS HAMILTON set the fastest lap in Formula One history to seal pole for Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix. On a torrid afternoon for Ferrari, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel finished 13th and 17th. It marks the first time in 36 years that both Italian cars will start Ferrari’s home race outside the top ten. Vettel said: “What a mess”, after he failed to improve on his time. In 70 editions of Ferrari’s home race, when both cars have gone to the line, the Italian team have never had both drivers finish outside the top ten – but that streak would appear to be in grave danger.
