F1 Italian Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

Monza hosts the 16th round of the 2022 Formula 1 season this weekend on September 9-11. Here's how and when you can watch qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday.

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes W13

Ferrari appears to have an early edge over its rivals at Monza, having topped both practice sessions on Friday with drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez not only trailed the Ferraris in practice but are also carrying grid penalties this weekend, having taken on additional power unit elements beyond their full-season allocation. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Sainz are also among drivers hit by grid penalties.

All of this means Leclerc has a strong chance of securing Ferrari's first victory on its home turf since his previous triumph in 2019.
