Lewis Hamilton has finished fastest in both Friday practice sessions for the 2015 Italian Grand Prix at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The British driver beat team-mate Nico Rosberg on both occasions, with Rosberg closing to within just 2 hundredths of a second in practice two.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton kicked off the Italian Grand Prix weekend in style; and no I’m not talking about his new blonde hair. He set a blistering pace in first practice to top the session with a 1’24.670. Hamilton’s time was just under half a second faster than his team-mate Nico Rosberg in 2nd and a full 1.5 seconds faster than Sebastian Vettel in the crowd-favorite Ferrari. Vettel suffered a small spin at the Rettifilio chicane during the session.<\/p>\n

It was expected that one team that would have the potential to do very well this weekend would be Force India. The team are known to have great straight-line speed which would put them in good shape for the Monza circuit. Their speed put them into 4th and 5th in first practice, with Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez separated by just half a tenth. They were still 2 seconds off of Hamilton in 1st however.<\/p>\n

Kimi Raikkonen followed the Force India drivers in 6th place in the second Ferrari, with Daniel Ricciardo 7th in the Red Bull. The Red Bull team look to be in for a dire weekend after confirming that both Ricciardo and Kvyat would be getting penalties for having new Renault engines fitted to their cars; a similar situation to that being faced by McLaren once again this weekend. The reason they are choosing this round in particular to take the penalty is that Red Bull and McLaren feel that they are already disadvantaged due to the nature of the Monza circuit.<\/p>\n

Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, who both re-signed for Williams for 2016 yesterday, were 8th and 9th in the session. Pastor Maldonado completed the top 10 in his Lotus.\u00a0Jolyon Palmer was once again behind the wheel of second\u00a0Lotus in the first practice session. The British driver finished up in 15th place after the 90 minute session with the second highest tally of laps at 28. He was only beaten by Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat who both completed 29 laps.<\/p>\n

Palmer finished the session just ahead of 16 placed Carlos Sainz, who was the cause of the sessions’ only red flag after locking up his rear brakes and spinning into the gravel at the Parabolica.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton continued to hold onto the top of the time-sheets in practice 2, but Nico Rosberg closed right up to Hamilton to go just 0.021 slower.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Vettel remained 3rd fastest ahead of the Force India team-mates in 4th and 5th; with Sergio Perez now leading Nico Hulkenberg. Completing the ‘deja-vu’ was Kimi Raikkonen, who held onto 6th fastest in the second Ferrari.<\/p>\n

All 8 Mercedes powered cars were in the top 10, with 7th and 8th belonging to the Lotus team-mates Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado, with 9th and 10th going to the Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa.<\/p>\n

The direct contrast of the success of the Mercedes engine was the practically woeful Honda engines. The McLaren-Honda of Jenson Button finished the session 19th after completing just 3 laps after an ‘abnormality’ with his power-unit; with the team admitting today that they may not be competitive until the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

The only car behind Button was the Red Bull of Daniil Kvyat, who spent most of the session in the garage with a gearbox problem. Similarly, team-mate Daniel Ricciardo ended the session 13th after suffering a hydraulic issue for most of the 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
