The practice sessions for the Italian Grand Prix are over and the drivers are preparing for the real work. Saturday is all about qualifying at Monza. Can Mercedes continue their dominance on Saturday despite the change in the rules regarding engine modes?
Party mode ban (liveblog below)
Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were very fast on Friday and no driver could even get close to the Silver Arrows. Max Verstappen had a bad Friday and already said that there is a lot of work to be done to be able to start in the top four.
On Saturday, the drivers will, for the first time, have to use the engine mode that they also want to use in the race. The so-called party modes have been completely abolished from now on. The mode the drivers use in qualifying will also be used during the race.
Quickest lap to be beaten?
