2014 Italian Grand Prix Saturday in Tweets

Luca di Montezemolo was centre of attention at Monza today, amid rumours that he will not be Ferrari president for much longer.

Here’s the story of Saturday at the Italian Grand Prix in Tweets.

Third practice

Stallard: "So do you want one more lap or do you want to come in and discuss downforce?" Button: "Yeah let's come in." #F1

The subtext there being McLaren aren't going to discuss something as performance-critical as downforce levels on the public radio feed…

Ricciardo: "Any stand-out improvements you can see?" Rennie: "You can improve turn six [Lesmo 1] apex speed." #F1

Nico Rosberg had gearbox issues in the morning, which limited him to just three laps in the session.

For the second time this session Rosberg complains his "gears are not learning". #F1

Great theatre around Montezemolo as always! He hasn't spoken yet. Italian colleagues convinced he's out after next week. We will see #f1

Hamilton: "Brakes don't feel like they're working very well. And DRS not working." Bonnington: "OK we'll look into the DRS." #F1

Qualifying

Qualy's gonna be tight. We all got a good scrap ahead of us. Just gotta use the right foot a little more than the others

'Luca, Luca, I can't breathe.' Yes, Alonso is in there somewhere. #handshakesareforstrangers pic.twitter.com/bfPdejSOQ6

Pit to Kevin: “Really good job. Excellent job." Smiles in the garage after a top effort from our boys. P5 for Kev, P6 for JB. #ItalianGP

After the action

ALO: "It was positive for me because I see two Mercedes, two Williams, two McLarens, one Ferrari, two Red Bulls…" A little dig at RAI…

Again bad luck for @RGrosjean ! Strangers smashed the front window of his car. Happened to him last year as well… pic.twitter.com/xt7cCpLYSz

GP2

Stoffel Vandoorne won from pole position in the first GP2 race, while championship leader Jolyon Palmer displayed a successful recovery drive.

Great to see @svandoorne continuing to give @McLarenF1 a big headache for 2015. He's ready! Question is can @KevinMagnussen lead the team?

— Tom Gaymor (@TomGaymor) September 6, 2014

That was Nasr’s chance to cut the gap. Huge missed opportunity. Palmer might have saved his championship today. But Vandoorne is now in play

— Will Buxton (@willbuxton) September 6, 2014

Wow! Unbelievable race to come from 26th to 8th – reverse grid pole and with fastest lap as well. Now to fully turn the tables tomorrow
