Albon in Q3 again, you love to see it.
- Absolute beast putting that williams in Q3 :D
  
  Hope he's able to hold on for some good points tomorrow. Monza is a nightmare to overtake on so should be possible barring any strategy blunders.
I know RB is struggling, but that still looks surreal. P7 and P8. Hopefully tomorrow Ferrari will stay close to McLaren cars.
Red Bull should set up a charity swear box for Max for tomorrow.
Oof, Colapinto through the gravel. Not the way you want your first F1 qualy to go, must have been over eager. But hey, the car didn't sustain damage so... still an improvement?
- Probably a damaged floor though.
  
  I don't think you can complain too much, he should have had the summer break to practice.
Eight way is a bit generous, Perez isn't on that level any more
- Turns out Max isn't either. Perez towed him, giving up his own hypothetical chance for provement, and Max on fresh tires couldn't do shit 💀
  
  Na Perez stuck it in the gravel which screwed him up. Red bull is just slow!
  
  Also Perez giving Max a face full of gravel dust didn't help
- @Nighed Perez needs to retire of #Formula1 at the end of the season. @wes
  
  I think he just needs to get out of red bull. They burn out their number 2 drivers.
Norris apologizing for the lap and that being enough for pole 😂
Verstappen really messed up both laps.

Damn that McLaren is looking fast. Game on for the WDC
Barnstorming laps again from McLaren, fantastic.
Was there any penalty given for the unsafe releases into Verstappen?

Edit: McLaren were given a fine: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/decision-document/2024 Italian Grand Prix - Infringement - Car 81 - Unsafe release.pdf
