VIDEO: How Monza qualifying farce played out over team radio
'That's not cool...'
Qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix ended in a manner we've perhaps never seen before as the majority of the remaining field failed to set a final lap time.
Charles Leclerc will start on pole in Monza, but his route to the front row was far from orthodox as the desire to secure a tow saw drivers trip up over each other to farcical effect.
Lance Stroll and Alexander Albon failed to set a time in Q3 at all, after Kimi Raikkonen had crashed out during initial runs, before the madness set in.
With drivers and engineers alike trying to be clever, and then manage the unfolding chaos, here's how the incident sounded over the airwaves.
That crazy end to qualifying...
