Sebastian Vettel (21 years, 2 months and 10 days) becomes the youngest pôleman of F1’s history. Young German realized an almost perfect weekend. Tenth on Friday, he reaches the second place during practice 3. In qualifying, he enchants his team with his incredible blow of steering wheel. He ends with the way : victory ! Congratulations ! Nico Rosberg finds the smile after the disaster of Spa. Williams’ captain had anticipated it : Monza would be promising for the team of Grove. He occupied the fifth rank during the first two sessions of practice. The 23-year-old driver offered himself top 3 on Saturday morning. At 3 pm, the complete starting grid comes to light finally. Nico will dash of the third line. He’ll have beside him Felipe Massa’s Ferrari. He missed luck in race… It’s a pity !
