Fascinating fact: Monza's crumbling old banking is one of the venue's most iconic features, but it was actually only used in four world championship races - 1955, 1956, 1960, 1961
Potential record breakers: Mercedes have scored six one-two finishes this year. They need four more over the remaining seven races to tie McLaren's 1988 record for the most one-twos in a season, and five more to eclipse it.
Turbo history: If a Ferrari-powered car wins the race it'll be the first Ferrari turbo win since the 1988 Italian Grand Prix.
