Red Bull's Max Verstappen can chalk up a record 10th Formula One win in a row on Sunday but those hoping against hope for a different winner at Monza can still find some comfort in history.
The Dutch driver, 138 points clear of team mate Sergio Perez after 13 of 22 races, won at home in Zandvoort last Sunday to equal Sebastian Vettel's 2013 nine streak, also with Red Bull.
Since Lewis Hamilton's fifth Italian GP win with Mercedes in 2018 no driver has managed a repeat victory in the former royal park outside Milan. Gasly and Ricciardo both won at the 'Temple of Speed' against the odds, with Verstappen retiring in 2020 and 2021 , and the track can always spring surprises.The race will be a first Italian Grand Prix as Ferrari principal for Fred Vasseur and the team will be racing with a special livery paying tribute to this year's Le Mans 24 Hours victory, the relationship with Monza and Ferrari's 'racing DNA'.
The weekend will be the second trial of the 'Alternative Tyre Allocation' format with teams having only 11 sets of tyres per driver -- three hard and four each of the medium and soft.
