This Sunday’s race will be the 90th Italian Grand Prix, of which the last 70 have counted towards the Formula 1 World Championship, it and the British Grand Prix being the only races to have featured in every year of the championship. With the exception of 1980, when the event was run at the Autodromo Dino Ferrari at Imola and won by Nelson Piquet in a Brabham, it has always been held at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Over the years, Scuderia Ferrari has won 18 times, taken pole on 20 occasions and had its drivers on the podium 68 times.

Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto previews the next round of the 2019 Formula One season, the Italian Grand Prix:
“It’s time for our home Grand Prix and there can be no better way to come to Monza than as the winner of the last round in Spa-Francorchamps. It’s a great thank you to our fans who have given us so much support during what has been a far from easy season so far. Monza is a track where we run at very high average speeds, featuring long straights and heavy braking, running a low downforce package. This weekend, we plan to introduce our third power unit.” – he explained, as reported by the Maranello team’s official website earlier today.
“We saw in Belgium that, in order to win, we must do everything to perfection and our aim is to do exactly that in Monza too. There will be no room for error. Our home race is always important, but that is especially true this time, as we are celebrating 90 years of Scuderia Ferrari.
Racing in front of our home fans is always an extra boost and further motivation to do well. Apart from anything else, there is no podium quite like Monza and we think there is no better crowd than the Italian one.” – Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto concluded.
