Monza: Britain's 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton showed little emotion when on Saturday he finally ended championship leader and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg's supremacy in qualifying by taking pole position for today's Italian Grand Prix.

It was the 29-year-old's first pole in eight races dating back to the Spanish Grand Prix on May 10 and one that enhanced his hopes of trimming the German's 29-points lead in the title race, with seven races remaining.
