Vettel ends Renault's 16-year losing streak in Italy
Sebastian Vettel's Italian Grand Prix win was the first for a Renault-engined car at Monza since 1995. Michele Merlino interrogates all the statistics from last weekend
Sebastian Vettel ended a 16-year winless run for Renault-engined cars at Monza thanks to his commanding performance in last weekend's Italian Grand Prix.
Not since Johnny Herbert's 1995 victory in a Renault-powered Benetton had the French manufacturer tasted success at Monza, while Jean Alesi in 1997 was the most recent driver to start a grand prix from pole position with such an engine at the track.
