#4 Italian GP
After a brilliant weekend at Spa, Ferrari had the clear advantage over the Mercs at Monza. They dominated all the practice sessions and snatched 1-2 in qualifying in front of their loyal fanbase, the Tifosi.
Kimi Räikkönen was on pole while Vettel started 2nd looking to reduce the deficit in the championship. Vettel defended too hard into the second chicane from Hamilton on lap 1 and the result was that he spun after a contact that put him to the back of the grid with a lot of work to do.
Hamilton, however, started pressurizing Räikkönen who was leading, and pitted 8 laps after the Fin did. With fresh rubber, Hamilton was soon at the back of the Ferrari and got into the lead with 8 laps to go.
Vettel had little to offer after the contact, yet fought up the pack to finish 4th,leaving him 30 points adrift of the championship leader. The Ferrari hasn’t won in Monza since 2010 with 7 podiums.
