Sebastian Vettel eased to quickest during final free practice for the Italian GP, proving the Red Bull outfit can challenge for their 13th pole position of the season.
Mark Webber slotted in behind his teammate with a lap just over three tenths slower than the German.
It was then Felipe Massa ahead of the two McLaren drivers, led by Lewis Hamilton that topped off the top five quickest cars.
Mercedes, though one of the quickest down the straights, only managed P6 and P7.
The session saw no major drama though Daniel Ricciardo once again had limited running after spening the majority of the session, as he did on Friday, in the HRT garage.
