Sebastian Vettel on Monza qualifying: 'Clearly I wasn't happy'

MONZA, Italy -- Sebastian Vettel said he was clearly upset by being beaten to pole position by teammate Kimi Raikkonen at the Italian Grand Prix, but refused to specify the reasons why.

Vettel qualified 0.161s off Raikkonen at Monza to lock out an all-Ferrari front row, but as he crossed the line believed he had secured pole position.
