  • The Italian Grand Prix entered the Formula 1 calendar in 1950 and has been held at Monza in every edition except 1980, when Imola hosted the race.
  • Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton share the drivers' record at Monza with five wins each, while Nelson Piquet has four.
  • Ferrari leads the team standings with 20 victories, ahead of McLaren with 11 and Mercedes with seven.

Monza, Formula 1's Temple of Speed, has been part of the championship since its first season in 1950 and has become a showcase for the sport's most successful names. The Italian Grand Prix has been held there in every edition except 1980, when the race moved 270 kilometers to Imola's Dino and Enzo Ferrari circuit.

Two drivers stand above the rest in the Monza record book. Michael Schumacher won five times, in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006. Lewis Hamilton also has five victories, recorded in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. Nelson Piquet follows with four wins, while eight drivers have won three times each.

That group includes Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Ronnie Peterson, Alain Prost, Rubens Barrichello, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Verstappen's wins came in 2022, 2023 and 2025. Among current drivers, Fernando Alonso has won twice, Charles Leclerc twice and Pierre Gasly once.

Ferrari, the local team at the Italian Grand Prix, leads the constructors' list with 20 wins. Its most recent victory came in 2024 with Leclerc. McLaren is second with 11 victories, although its latest Monza win came in 2021 with Daniel Ricciardo. Mercedes has seven, followed by Williams with six, while Lotus and Red Bull have five each.
