The Tifosi went crazy as Carlos took pole position at the temple of the speed

FP3: Ferrari showed a promising pace for today's later qualifying.

for the second session in a row, Sainz topped the time sheet with a 1:20.912, setting a benchmark only 0.086secs faster than Verstappen's RedBul.

Both Sainz and Leclerc showed great pace during qualifying simulation runs and were second quickest in long runs. this advantage is due mainly to Ferrari's lower downforce package for their home Grand Prix.

Hamilton was third fastest in his Mercedes at the end of FP3. After he claimed their first day at Monza was a little bit "messy" it seems like setup changes overnight were effective.

The rest of the session was entirely normal except for some drivers impeding each other as Yuki was frustrated behind Sainz and went on the team radio and said: "What the f**k is Sainz doing"
