Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton set a devastating pace as he topped the timesheets in first practice for Formula 1's Italian Grand Prix at Monza ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg. Reigning F1 world champion Hamilton clocked a 1m24.670s to finish 0.463 seconds clear of his title rival and a massive 1.588s ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third.
It was an impressive performance from Mercedes, which fitted Hamilton and Rosberg's cars with their third engines of the season following an upgrade in which it used all seven of its remaining tokens. Hamilton was quickest on the first run on the medium tyres with a 1m25.653s, 0.906s faster than team-mate Rosberg, with Vettel 0.057s off the pace.
Rosberg was the first to take his second set and moved to the top of the timesheets, but Hamilton reacted straight away to reclaim first.
