Track: Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Ferrari has a great starting position for their home grand prix at Monza. Kimi Raikkonen won his maiden 2018 pole yesterday. It was the 7th pole for the 38 years old Ferrari driver.
It seemed that his teammate Sebastian Vettel wasn't that happy about it. After his team told him on the radio he was 2nd behind Raikkonen, his reaction was: "We talk later".
Nico Hulkenberg received a 10 place grid penalty for causing a collision in La Source hairpin last week. Daniel Ricciardo also has to start from the back of the grid for installing the C-spec Renault power unit in the Red Bull RB14. The new power unit should give him an additional 30 horsepower.
