Monza, pole for Hamilton, Ferrari’s: Raikkonen second and Vettel third at the start – The Messenger

From our correspondent
 MONZA Enchanted, binoculars became a microscope. Dreams sometimes come true and the stellar distance that the long straights of the park seemed to separate the Silver Arrows Stuttgart from Cavallino Maranello suddenly falling to almost zero, allowing Kimi Raikkonen and Vettel Sebastial to blow on the neck World champion Lewis Hamilton, who has had to struggle hard to center pole (the number 13 of 13 races for Mercedes, the Briton has left only his teammate Rosberg) .Today at 14, when you unleash the cavalry to win the Italian Grand Prix, there will be two Reds in the first three places on the grid: the hopes of making a good race are practical ones to win are certainly not part of fantasia.Per Sergio Marchionne, now at home in the paddock Circus as at auto shows, is only the first part of the dream. The second is that maybe in the afternoon he goes up to the podium to collect the trophy of Manufacturers, and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi rewards one of his boys passed first under the checkered flag. Spraying champagne in world vision in the temple of speed colored red would be the best calling card to present to Wall Street where the most important financial market in the world shortly establish how many billions is actually Ferrari. The hero of the day is Kimi, after risking the dismissal, will start on the front row in the Park. Happiness is instead printed on the face King circuit Sebastian Vettel (the only one with three wins among the riders at the start) that sees the crack to outclass even the epic triumph of 2008 with Toro Rosso under water. If there is a possibility, make no mistake, Sebastian does not fail and the message it sent loud and clear to the Messenger of Stuttgart sitting beside him: “Excuse Lewis, but I would not mind at all if on the podium with us you were not there … ‘. To put things as they are, in fact, a problem for Hamilton and the highway to glory would be just flattened.

FOG ON STUTTGART
 And the problems have certainly not passed a quiet night to the men of the Star led at Monza by Dieter Zetsche himself, number one of which is part of Daimler Mercedes-Benz. It is true that Ferrari is progressing well and the latest evolution of the power unit has proved its worth, but the reshuffling of the cards is largely due to the unexpected that for the first time have popped Arrows: the much-vaunted new power unit, Stuttgart where he had put all the “chips” available and that the other day seemed to have finally filed this championship and mortgaged the next, jumped on the car of Rosberg and that’s why Nico snaps alongside Lewis on the grid. The unforeseen event (this year the German power unit have been the most reliable engine series) has shaken the certainties Mercedes and probably advised to go even more cautious with another fireball that has trimmed a small gap to Ferrari. The joke is that the work on the engine had been primarily “to improve reliability and performance.” The news is much more disruptive than it seems. Nico will start with an engine which has six races on the shoulders and certainly give battle to overtake the Ferrari (yesterday came within a whisker) and see if the engine under pressure also makes the tantrums of Lewis. But beyond today’s race, if fate does not ribilancerà contention, the event gives a fatal blow to the championship because Nico is expected to arrive until the end of the season with only one new engine, while Lewis has two. Marchionne was rightly satisfied: “I am not surprised, I know how we are working and the results will see them especially next year, the new car and the new power unit will be profoundly different and are already defined; in 2014 at the end of the year we did not have cars. Kimi? He’s good, he is worth. With the tranquility of the confirmation driving better … I’m here for Ferrari, I do not talk about GM and even succession in armchairs Group. We will do it at the appropriate time. “

OPEN NEGOTIATIONS
 The governor of Lombardy Maroni met Ecclestone and finally found out who he is. Now maybe the future of the Grand Prix is ​​closer … “It’s just a hard, on the figure has not moved one millimeter. I asked for a discount for our history, even talking about it. If we want the race we have to find that money. I reported to the prime minister, the government can intervene, otherwise we will do differently, but within the year will settle everything. The Italian Grand Prix at Monza will remain at 99.9%. “
