Tires maybe, or fuel saving? I don't expect much to change here at Monza compared to Spa, other than Hamilton will start at the pointy end.

Last year RB went from Q3 in Belgium (4th in race) to 14th/15th in Monza quali (8th/10th in race) so I would be very surprised if RB are even close to 2nd quickest this weekend.

It'll be more or less like Baku except with a faster McLaren.

I expect a 4/5 for RB. Ferrari should be ahead and I am curious to see how fast Wiliams and Force India are here. Force India should be a serious contender for Red Bull this weekend.

Didn't Ricciardo or someone similar say the Renault is equal to the Ferrari PU now ? If thats the case, Red Bull surely have a better car ? Red Bull will fill the 2nd row tomorrow ?

Williams will be faster than force india

I doubt its true. If this would be the case, RB would have destroyed Ferrari in Spa and it didn happened(forget the initial incident, Ferrari´s pace was good).

Reminds me a bit like the Merc wing from Spa last year.
Looks awesome, lets hope for some points for Haas this weekend.

Does anyone know if any of the fastest times were set on the test tyres?

There were none of the car and one of just the engine and some rear bits, but plenty of the team and track walks by Vettel in particular I think. I thought it was odd too. You can check out he source on AMuS at the bottom of my post.
