Huff takes pole hat-trick at Monza

Rob Huff completed a hat-trick of pole positions from the opening three rounds of the WTCC season by leading a Chevrolet 1-2-3 in qualifying at Monza

The Briton pulled out a 1m59.034s to secure his place at the front of the grid, with Yvan Muller and Alain Menu finishing 0.097s and 0.399s behind him respectively.

"I was lucky to get into the top 10," Huff said. "It was the last lap that did it - it was a bit touch and go."

Zengo Denison BMW 320 TC driver Norbert Michelisz will start from fourth place as quickest of the Independents, with SUNRED's Tiago Monteiro just behind him.

The latter will start the reversed-grid race from pole by virtue of finishing the opening phase of qualifying in 10th.
