The Monza Grand Prix in Numbers
On the occasion of the 2020 edition of this Italian Grand Prix, Motors Inside offers you a look back at the key figures of the Monza Grand Prix, the temple of speed.
70 is the number of Italian Grand Prix editions in Formula 1, 69 at Monza and 1 at Imola.
1’19″119 This is the track record set in 2018 by Kimi Räikkönen during the 3rd qualifying session. A qualifying session marked by total misunderstanding among the drivers during the second part of Q3, each hoping to benefit from the slipstream of the driver ahead. As a result, only Carlos Sainz crossed the starting line in time, leaving the other 9 drivers, including a particularly annoyed Sebastian Vettel, stranded.
6 With six pole positions, Lewis is the driver who excels the most in this area on Ferrari’s home turf. He achieved this feat in 2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017.
5 Michael Schumacher is the driver who emerged victorious the most times in front of the tifosis. He secured the first of his five victories at Monza in 1996, all achieved driving a Ferrari.
5,793 That’s the length of a lap on the current Monza circuit, a lap completed in less than a minute twenty, at an average speed of 260 km/h, making it one of the fastest circuits on the F1 calendar.
8 This is the number of times Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have stood on the podium, so the Briton could surpass the seven-time German world champion as early as this weekend.
19. It is the prancing horse single-seater that has won most frequently on its home turf, far ahead of its historical rival, McLaren (10).
8 The historic track of Monza has been modified more than 8 times, with changes made to slow down the single-seaters that went increasingly faster each year. In its initial version, the circuit included a speed ring, a ring that has been abandoned for many years.
36.23 This is the percentage win rate of the pole man at Monza. A qualifying session to follow on Motors Inside.
