MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton took pole position for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix after finishing fastest in qualifying, while teammate Jenson Button made it a McLaren one-two.
As speculation about his future and a possible switch to Mercedes continued, Hamilton took his fourth pole of the season in a time of 1 minute, 24.010 seconds, just over a tenth of a second faster than Button.
Ferrari driver Felipe Massa was third, but championship leader Fernando Alonso had another disappointing day. The Spaniard, who was just a thousandth of a second behind Hamilton in the final practice, will start way back in 10th position.
