ITALY

Sunday's race will be the 90th edition of the Italian Grand Prix, with the first staged at Monza in 1922. Ferrari are also celebrating their 90th anniversary.

Hamilton has won at Monza five times, a record he shares with Michael Schumacher. Mercedes have also won for the past five years.

The Briton has been on pole six times at Monza, including four of the past five.

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel can become only the second driver, and first since Britain's Stirling Moss in the 1950s, to win at Monza with three different teams.

Moss won with Maserati, Vanwall and Cooper. Vettel has done so previously with Toro Rosso (2008) and Red Bull (2011 and 2013).

The Italian and British Grands Prix are the only ones to have been on the calendar in every year since the world championship started in 1950.

The Italian race has been staged at Monza every year except 1980 when it was at Imola.

Raikkonen's 2018 pole lap was at an average speed of 263.587 kph, the fastest in Formula One history.

The race has been won from pole position 10 times in the last 14 years.
