Italian GP: final grid line-up

The Force India driver had qualified 14th, but was adjudged to have impeded Hamilton's Mercedes at the Parabolica late in Q2.

A three-place penalty drops Sutil to 17th and gives an extra spot each to Pastor Maldonado, Paul di Resta and Esteban Gutierrez.

Hamilton will start only 12th, due to factors including Sutil, self-confessed poor driving and floor damage, with fellow title long-shot Kimi Raikkonen just one place ahead.

Sebastian Vettel took another pole, leading team-mate Mark Webber in a Red Bull one-two, ahead of qualifying sensation Nico Hulkenberg and the two Ferraris.
