MONZA, Italy - Formula One statistics for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, round 16 of the 24-race world championship and last of the season in Europe:

2024 pole position: Lando Norris (Britain) McLaren one minute 19.327 seconds.

ITALY
The race will be the 76th Italian Grand Prix since the championship started in 1950, and 75th at Monza.
Built in 1922, the 'Temple of Speed' has long straights and 11 corners with 76% of lap time at full throttle and top speeds of more than 350kph.
The race can be one of the shortest of the year in total time, due to the high speeds. A one stop strategy is most likely.
Seven-times world champions Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher share the record of five wins each at Monza.
Other still active past winners are Max Verstappen (2022, 2023), Fernando Alonso (2007, 2010), Leclerc (2019, 2024) and Pierre Gasly (2020).
Hamilton has started on pole seven times at Monza and set Formula One's fastest ever lap in 2020 qualifying at an average speed of 264.362kph.
The Italian and British Grands Prix are the only ones to have been on the calendar in every year since 1950. In 1980 the Italian round was held at Imola.
Ferrari have won 20 times at Monza, more than anyone else.
CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
Australian Oscar Piastri leads McLaren teammate Norris by 34 points. Verstappen is third and 104 points off the lead.
In the constructors' standings, McLaren (584 points) are 324 clear of second-placed Ferrari (260), with Mercedes third (248) and Red Bull fourth (214).
WINS
Piastri has won seven of 15 races this season, Norris five, Verstappen two and Mercedes' George Russell one.
Hamilton has not won since his career 105th victory in Belgium on July 28, 2024.
Verstappen has won 65 grands prix and is third on the all-time list after Michael Schumacher on 91.
McLaren have had seven one-two finishes this season and won 12 of 15, including the last five in a row.
POLE POSITION
Piastri has been on pole five times this season, Norris and Verstappen four each, Russell and Leclerc once each.
PODIUM
Piastri has been on the podium 13 times in 2025, Norris 12.
Leclerc's second place in Monaco remains Ferrari's best of the season. The Monegasque now has five podiums for the season. Hamilton has yet to stand on the podium for Ferrari.
POINTS
Piastri is the only driver to have scored in every race this year. The Australian has scored for 41 race weekends in a row, if sprints are included -- and in 33 successive grands prix.
Only one driver on the grid has yet to score -- Alpine rookie Franco Colapinto, who made his F1 debut at Monza with Williams last year.
MILESTONE
Ferrari are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the late triple champion Niki Lauda's first title with the team. The Austrian clinched it in Monza on September 7, 1975. REUTERS
