Monza qualifying delivers a huge surprise as the grid is shaken up in unexpected fashion. Spanners examines Ferrari’s latest attempt to induce cardiac arrest, the theory that Oscar Piastri may have deliberately denied Lando Norris a crucial tow, and Red Bull’s increasingly suspicious use of sister-team drivers to help Max Verstappen. Plus, McLaren’s braking problems, the Mercedes-powered cars looking rapid on a power track, and all the key stories from qualifying.
