Italian GP Preview: Facts & Stats

Sean Kelly looks back at the history of the Italian Grand Prix, reviewing the memorable performances and the remarkable records that have been set there throughout the years

Monza is arguably the most historically important race track in F1 championship history. Having appeared on the inaugural schedule in 1950, it has remained in every year since, with the exception of 1980.

Thanks to this, it has played host to some of the most memorable moments in F1 history. For much of the fifties it was the final round, and Giuseppe Farina clinched the first ever championship with victory in 1950, leapfrogging Luigi Fagioli and Juan Manuel Fangio in the standings after a race that took the thick end of three hours.
