As Monza becomes the first circuit to host 75 F1 races, McLaren could equal their second-longest winning streak and F1’s fastest ever lap record could be broken. Here are the milestones and records which could be broken at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix!
THE 2025 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX MILESTONES
The 2025 Italian Grand Prix will be the 1,141st World Championship event in Formula 1 history.
This will be the 109th time that Formula 1 has raced in Italy. The 2025 Italian Grand Prix will mark the 95th Italian Grand Prix since the event was first held in 1921 and the 76th time that the event has been held as a round of the World Championship. This will be the 75th Formula 1 race held at Monza.
The 2025 Italian Grand Prix will be the ninth time that an F1 race has been held on September 7. All eight of the previous occasions that a race has taken place on this date, the race has been at Monza (in 1952, 1958, 1969, 1975, 1986, 1998 and 2014) except the 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, which took place at Spa-Francorchamps.
This weekend, Monza becomes the first circuit to have hosted as many as 75 rounds of the F1 World Championship.
Alex Albon makes his 82nd start with Williams this weekend, overtaking Riccardo Patrese for third on the list of drivers who’ve made the most starts with the team.
Lap 33 of the 2025 Italian Grand Prix will be the 4.300th Grand Prix racing lap at Monza in the track’s history on the F1 calendar.
THE FORMULA 1 RECORDS WHICH COULD BE BROKEN
If the 2025 Italian Grand Prix is shorter than 1 hour, 14 minutes and 19 seconds (and runs to its full distance) it will set a new record for the shortest Grand Prix to reach full distance in F1 history. The record is currently held by the 2003 Italian Grand Prix.
The fastest ever Formula 1 qualifying lap could be set in qualifying for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. The fastest qualifying lap in history was set by Lewis Hamilton in qualifying for the Monza race in 2020, where he set an average speed of 264.363km/h. To break it, a driver would need to set a lap time of under 1:18.887. Last year’s pole time, set by Lando Norris, was a 1:19.327.
A victory for Lewis Hamilton at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would make Italy the third country – after Britain and Hungary – in which he has won on eight occasions. Only Hamilton and Michael Schumacher have taken as many as eight wins in a single country.
A win for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would see Italy overtake the United States as the country in which Verstappen has taken the most wins during his career. It would be his seventh win in the country.
If Lewis Hamilton sets the fastest lap at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, it would see him become the first driver to take the fastest lap eight times at a single Grand Prix. He has taken seven fastest laps to date at the event, like Nigel Mansell did at the British Grand Prix and Michael Schumacher did at the Spanish Grand Prix.
A fastest lap for Hamilton at Monza would also see him overtake Schumacher as the driver with the most fastest laps at a single circuit. Schumacher took seven fastest laps at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya during his career.
A fastest lap for a Ferrari driver at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix will see Ferrari become the first team to record 20 fastest laps at a single circuit.
A win for Ferrari at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would see them equal their own record for most wins at a single event. Ferrari have 20 Italian Grand Prix wins to date and have won the German Grand Prix 21 times in their history.
If Lewis Hamilton wins the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, it would be the 23rd time that a driver has won the same race on the same date twice. Hamilton last won the Italian Grand Prix on September 7 in 2014.
A pole position for Lewis Hamilton at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would make Monza the third circuit at which he has taken as many as eight poles, after the Hungaroring and Albert Park.
If Kimi Antonelli wins the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, he will become the first driver to take his maiden F1 victory on home soil since Johnny Herbert at the 1995 British Grand Prix.
If McLaren lock out the front row for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, this will be the team’s 70th front row lock-out. They will become the second constructor to reach the milestone, after Mercedes who did so at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix.
A top ten finish for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would see him overtake former team-mate Sergio Perez for sixth on the list of drivers who’ve scored in the most Grands Prix. Verstappen has scored in 188 Grands Prix to date.
If Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri win the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, he will join a list of eight other drivers who’ve won as many as ten Grands Prix without ever winning the title.
A win for McLaren this weekend would be the team’s sixth consecutive victory. It would be their longest such streak since 2005, when their drivers won all six races between the Hungarian and Japanese Grands Prix.
If Oscar Piastri scores a point in the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, he will overtake the third-longest scoring streak in Formula 1 history, set by Lewis Hamilton between the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix and the 2018 French Grand Prix. Meanwhile, if he finishes the race, Piastri will overtake Max Verstappen for the second longest finishing streak in Formula 1, at 44 races.
Oscar Piastri recorded the first Grand Slam of his career at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix. Another this weekend would make him only the fourth driver – after Alberto Ascari, Jim Clark and Sebastian Vettel – to record Grand Slams at two consecutive Grands Prix.
A pole position for Red Bull this weekend would be their 108th pole, overtaking Lotus for fifth on the list of most pole positions for a team in Formula 1.
Pole position for Max Verstappen at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would be his 45th pole with Red Bull, overtaking Sebastian Vettel as the driver who has taken the most poles with the team. It would also see him overtake Vettel for fourth on the list of most poles with a single team.
If Max Verstappen leads the race from start to finish, he will overtake Sebastian Vettel for third on the list of most F1 races led from start to finish. Verstappen has led 15 Grands Prix from start to end so far in his career, doing so most recently at Imola.
A pole position at any Grand Prix in 2025 for Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto or Isack Hadjar would make them the youngest Grand Prix polesitter in F1 history.
Max Verstappen holds the record for wins from the most different grid positions in Formula 1. He’ll become the first driver to win from 11 different grid slots this weekend should he win from 5th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th or 20th on the grid.
If Max Verstappen wins the race without having started from pole position, it will be the 33rd race which he has won from a position other than pole. That would see him equal Alain Prost for third place on the list of most Grand Prix victories away from pole position.
A Grand Slam for Max Verstappen – winning from pole position having led every lap and set the fastest lap – would be his sixth Grand Slam. That would see him equal Lewis Hamilton for second on the list of most Grand Slams in F1, behind only Jim Clark.
A win for Lewis Hamilton would make him the 16th driver to have won Grands Prix with as many as three different teams.
A win for Ferrari would make 2025 the 60th season in which they’ve won a Grand Prix.
A victory for a Ferrari-powered car this weekend would make Ferrari the first engine manufacturer to have powered 250 victories in Formula 1. Of the 249 previous victories, Sebastian Vettel’s with Toro Rosso at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix is the only one which was not taken in a Ferrari chassis.
THE ITALIAN GRAND PRIX RECORDS ON OFFER
Lewis Hamilton currently shares the record for most Italian Grand Prix victories with Michael Schumacher. A win for Hamilton at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix would be a record-breaking fifth Monza victory.
Like victories, Lewis Hamilton is also tied with Michael Schumacher for the most Italian Grand Prix podium finishes. Hamilton will be aiming to become the first driver to finish in the top three at Monza on nine occasions this weekend.
If Fernando Alonso completes 16 laps of the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, he will become the first driver to have raced 1,000 laps at Monza during his Formula 1 career.
Lewis Hamilton is currently tied with Michael Schumacher for the most top ten finishes at the Italian Grand Prix, with 15 each. Hamilton could set a new outright record this weekend.
If Lewis Hamilton crosses the finish line at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, he will equal Kimi Raikkonen and Rubens Barrichello for the most finishes at Monza. It would be the 16th time he has crossed the finish line.
Lando Norris is the only current driver who holds a 100% points-finishing rate at Monza. Norris is already the only driver to have scored on all of his first six appearances at the track and could extend that record to seven in the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
Rubens Barrichello holds the Lap Record at Monza and has done so for 21 years, setting a lap time of 1:21.046 during the 2004 Italian Grand Prix. His record could finally be beaten this year. Lando Norris came within four tenths of doing so last year.
2025 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING RECORDS
Lewis Hamilton is tied with Michael Schumacher for the most top ten qualifications at Monza, with 16 apiece. Hamilton could become the first driver to record 17 top ten qualifications at Monza in qualifying for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
Alex Albon and Oscar Piastri will be hoping to maintain their 100% Q3 appearance rates at Monza. Sebastien Bourdais is the only other driver with a 100% Q3 appearance rate here.
Fernando Alonso is currently tied with Daniil Kvyat for the most Q2 exits at Monza, with five. He could be the first to reach six Q2 exits here this weekend, while the existing record could be equalled by Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg.
Lance Stroll could equal the record of four Q1 eliminations at Monza in qualifying for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. The record is currently shared between five drivers: Kevin Magnussen, Marcus Ericsson, Romain Grosjean, Timo Glock and Vitantonio Liuzzi.
LONGEVITY RECORDS ON OFFER FOR HAMILTON AND ALONSO
A win for Lewis Hamilton would see him move into the top ten of Formula 1’s oldest Grand Prix winners. He’d also become the second-oldest British driver to win a Formula 1 race, behind only Nigel Mansell.
A victory for Fernando Alonso would make him the sport’s fifth oldest winner – and the oldest since Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1957 German Grand Prix. Only nine drivers have won races at the age of over 40. The most recent driver to do so was Nigel Mansell, at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.
A pole position for Lewis Hamilton in 2025 would make him the first driver in his 40s to take pole position since Nigel Mansell at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix. He would be the sixth driver to take a pole position above the age of 40.
Lewis Hamilton is currently tied with Michael Schumacher as the driver who has set the fastest lap of a Grand Prix in the most consecutive seasons. Schumacher set a fastest lap in at least one race in all 15 seasons between 1992 and 2006, while Hamilton has set a fastest lap in every season since 2010. A fastest lap for Hamilton this year would see him become the first driver to take a fastest lap in 16 consecutive seasons.
A win for Fernando Alonso at any race in 2025 would see him set a new record for the longest gap between two Formula 1 victories, with his last having come at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. The current record is 6 years, 6 months and 28 days, set by Riccardo Patrese.
A pole position for Fernando Alonso in 2025 would make him the sport’s fourth-oldest polesitter. He would be the oldest polesitter since Jack Brabham at the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix.
