00:00But it was the red cars that set the pace on Saturday.

00:12It was his first Italian outing on Tifosi home turf,

00:16so Fernando Alonso's pole position was the ultimate crowd pleaser.

00:27Even he couldn't contain his happiness.

00:30With Massa third on the grid, it was almost a perfect afternoon,

00:37but could Button halt the prancing horse?

00:43It's one of the fastest circuits on the calendar,

00:46but Webber's second-row start was leisurely, to say the least.

00:50The McLarens were flying. Hamilton easily took fourth,

00:53while at the front, Button looked to have the measure of Alonso,

00:56even though contact was made.

01:00Fernando couldn't fend him off, and he was soon under attack from Felipe.

01:08Button headed the field, while Alonso kept Massa at bay.

01:12But Lewis didn't give up.

01:15He pushed the Ferraris to the maximum.

01:17But contact with Massa was not part of the plot.

01:31And before long, it was all over.

01:33The Tifosi celebrated, while McLaren commiserated.

01:50It was a severe setback to his championship aspirations.

01:57Webber had to claw back the ground he lost at the start,

02:00and he made a bid for Schumacher's eighth place.

02:06Results had eluded Michael on his comeback in 2010.

02:10He lagged 58 points behind his teammate,

02:12but there were signs that the fire was still there.

02:16He went in for the attack, but he couldn't make it stick.

02:19The top three had edged away from the rest of the field,

02:32but Button couldn't shake off the Ferraris.

02:39The pit stop window approached, and he had to build up a lead.

02:43OK, Jensen, the pace is extremely good.

02:50You're going really well.

02:53With only a second between them, he needed more.

02:57Seventh-placed Vettel was in trouble.

02:59Trouble with the engine.

03:01Trouble with the engine.

03:03Seems like it's dying.

03:04Engine is dying on me.

03:05After an on-point finish in Belgium and just 15 from Hungary,

03:12things had not gone Sebastian's way,

03:14and now his teammate had easily relegated him to eighth.

03:25Alonso didn't let Button out of his sight

03:27and kept the gap to a second.

03:28McLaren still needed more.

03:30OK, Jensen, we need you to push now.

03:37Push now.

03:38Everything you've got.

03:40So Ferrari responded.

03:43Button was told to push like hell,

03:45so I think we just have to stay with him and be ready.

03:51That's exactly what Alonso did.

03:54Lap 36, and McLaren prepared for the race leader.

03:58Jensen had done all he could.

03:59Now it was in the hands of his team.

04:06OK, push like hell, push like hell, Button.

04:11With clear track ahead,

04:13this was where Alonso could change his fate.

04:16Everything ran like clockwork for McLaren.

04:20OK, Jensen, you are coming out on a clear track.

04:22Push now, push now.

04:25But Alonso hadn't exactly been coasting himself.

04:29And that put him on the back foot when Webber made his move.

04:42Niko was next on Mark's hit list,

04:52but Williams had a novel way to give himself some breathing space from the Red Bull.

04:56Button needed his new prime tyres to give him the speed to keep his advantage over Alonso.

05:09Lap 37, and Fernando hit the pits.

05:20All teams spent hours practising their pit stops.

05:23Every tenth of a second can make a difference.

05:25Jensen was on the start-finish straight, but Fernando pulled out in front and into the lead.

05:34The Tifosi didn't hide their delight, while McLaren couldn't hide their disappointment.

05:49There was no change in the battle for sixth,

05:54and Hülkenberg still favoured his alternative routes.

06:00Come on, he's defended his position three times by going off the circuit,

06:03so he has to give me a division.

06:06Understood, Mark.

06:07It's going to the stewards.

06:09Button remained in his Ferrari sandwich,

06:11but Vettel had yet to stop,

06:12and now that his earlier engine problem had cleared up,

06:15he hoped an unusual strategy would catapult him through the field.

06:20The Fett is behind you, still 26-4, mate.

06:23It's working.

06:26But there was bad news for Weber.

06:32Hülkenberg is not going to let you through.

06:34He will not let you through.

06:35Keep pushing.

06:37Get right up to him, Mark.

06:38See if he can force the mistake.

06:39Without the shortcut, he couldn't get away.

06:51Mark held on.

07:00And finally, he did it.

07:05The team's radical strategy was about to be put to the test

07:09on the very last lap.

07:10Vettel came in for his compulsory change of tyres.

07:14But the team wasn't about to take any risks

07:16with two such competitive drivers.

07:20You'd be very close to Mark and Rosberg.

07:22Close to Mark and Rosberg.

07:23Give Mark room.

07:25He didn't need to.

07:26He easily held on to fourth.

07:30Ferrari scored their last home win in 2006

07:32with Michael Schumacher at the wheel.

07:37Now, Fernando Alonso took the flag

07:39almost three seconds clear of button.

07:48Victory, pole position,

07:50and the fastest lap of the race.

07:52It certainly was Ferrari's afternoon.

07:53There was no question who the Italian fans wanted to see on the podium,

08:23even if they didn't quite manage the 1-2 finish.

08:40Pole position for Ferrari in Monza was one thing.

08:43But what about the victory?

08:48Well, it's something maybe only we can compare

08:51with the feeling I had in 2006 winning in Barcelona,

08:55the home Grand Prix,

08:56because it was a very special moment that won,

08:59and it is a very special moment this one as well.

09:01So, fantastic feeling.

09:03I hope it's a very special moment.
