Kimi Raikkonen claimed his first pole of the season, beating Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel for the 2018 Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver started Q3 behind Lewis Hamilton and was the second fastest in the early runs of the top 10 shootout. But Raikkonen progressed in setting faster times outpacing Hamilton and even Vettel. Raikkonen's 1m19.119s lap record is a new lap record at Monza and included a final sector that was more than a tenth of a second faster than anyone else. The iceman has become the oldest pole-sitter in F1 since Nigel Mansell in 1994.
