The Monza circuit stands as the paramount venue for Formula 1 races, hosting more Grand Prix events than any other circuit. A total of 73 races have been held at Monza, with the exception of the 1980 season when the Italian Grand Prix was not staged there. Throughout this illustrious history, 40 different drivers have triumphed on its iconic tarmac.

Among these victors, Ferrari F1 legend Michael Schumacher and future Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton share the record for the most wins at Monza, each securing victory five times. Joining them are Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Max Verstappen, and Daniel Ricciardo, all part of the 2024 grid and previous winners of the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton leads with five victories, while Alonso and Verstappen have each clinched the checkered flag twice. Leclerc, Gasly, and Ricciardo joined this prestigious list in 2019, 2020, and 2021 respectively.

The track has seen its share of consecutive winners, with Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Phil Hill, Ronnie Peterson, Nelson Piquet, Damon Hill, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen achieving back-to-back victories. Fangio remains unique in winning races at Monza for three consecutive seasons, from 1953 to 1955.

In terms of team dominance, Ferrari holds the record for the most wins at the Italian Grand Prix, claiming victory 19 times on their home soil. Additionally, Ferrari-powered cars have accumulated a total of 20 wins at Monza, with Sebastian Vettel’s 2008 triumph with Toro Rosso standing as the only non-Ferrari car powered by a Ferrari engine to win the Italian Grand Prix.

Scuderia Ferrari’s prowess extends to the podium as well, boasting the highest number of podium finishes at Monza with an impressive 71 podium appearances, more than double that of their closest rival, McLaren.

The legendary circuit has also witnessed 21 instances of teams achieving a 1-2 finish, with Ferrari leading the pack with eight such finishes. The most recent occurrence was in 2023, when Red Bull secured a 1-2 finish.

Throughout its history, Monza has seen drama even in qualifying sessions. There have been three occasions where the fastest qualifier did not start from pole position due to issues like grid penalties or stalling on the grid. Notably, Kimi Raikkonen’s pole in 2006 for McLaren was secured by the smallest margin ever recorded at Monza, a mere 0.002 seconds.

Furthermore, the Maranello team’s dominance in qualifying is evident with the team securing the most poles at Monza, setting the fastest qualifying time 23 times—more than double the count of McLaren, who rank second in this category.

Reflecting on historical extremes, the largest pole margin was set by Phil Hill in 1960 with a staggering 1.9-second gap, whereas the closest margin was Kimi Raikkonen’s razor-thin 0.002-second advantage in 2006.

Monza’s legacy in Formula 1 is etched with records, milestones, and unforgettable moments, making it a cornerstone of the sport’s history and an enduring favorite among fans and drivers alike.
