Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest lap in Formula 1 history as he stole pole position from the title contenders at the Italian Grand Prix.
The 38-year-old Finn triumphed in a thrilling fight at Monza with team-mate Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, taking pole with the last lap of the session.
Hamilton was fastest after the first runs and improved on his second lap, but Vettel beat him before Raikkonen pipped both.
Raikkonen's lap of one minute 19.119 seconds meant he averaged 163.793mph. The previous record - 1:19.525 (162.950mph) - was set by Juan Pablo Montoya in a Williams in 2004.

Seb's fault ... he threw away a great opportunity. Kimi had a good race, but shredded his new tires to stay ahead of the pit delta. Hamilton drove a perfect race. Max - also a good rasce, but deserved his 5 sec penalty. Daniel's car yet again blew up. Fernando ... the car is pathetic.
 
Hamilton once again proved his worth to Mercedes. Ferrari has the better package but perhaps Mercedes has the better drivers:thumbup:;)
