ESPN rounds up the main talking points from qualifying at Monza, where Kimi Raikkonen claimed an unlikely pole position ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
Kimi back on pole: It seemed like a good bet a red car would be claiming pole position come Saturday afternoon, but most of us assumed it would be Sebastian Vettel. Raikkonen stunned everyone, however, with the quickest lap ever seen in an F1 qualifying session. The crowd erupted regardless -- Raikkonen remains one of the grid's most popular drivers.
Shocker: Sergio Perez and Force India should have been comfortably through to Q3, but instead the Mexican driver was eliminated in Q1 after a late flurry of improvements from midfield drivers saw him tumble down the order.
