British drivers could set a new record for most consecutive points-scoring races, Hamilton could set a new Monza win record and Stroll could become the first driver to reach 100 Q1 exits. Here are the milestones and the records which could be broken at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix!
The 2026 Italian Grand Prix Milestones
The 2026 Italian Grand Prix will be the 1,162nd race in World Championship history.
This will be the sixth time that Formula 1 has raced on September 6. Every previous race held on this date has been the Italian Grand Prix – in 1964, 1970, 1987, 2015 and 2020.
This will be the 110th time that Formula 1 has raced in Italy. The 2026 Italian Grand Prix will mark the 96th Italian Grand Prix since the event was first held in 1921 and the 77th time that the event has been held as a round of the World Championship. This will be the 76th Formula 1 race held at Monza.
Red Bull make their 430th Grand Prix start this weekend, equalling Tyrrell for fifth on the list of most starts for a constructor in Formula 1.
The Formula 1 Records Which Could Be Broken
Lewis Hamilton will set a new record for the most fastest laps at a single circuit if he sets the fastest lap in the 2026 Italian Grand Prix. He shares the record with Michael Schumacher, who set seven fastest laps at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya during his career.
A victory for Ferrari would see them extend the record for most wins for a team at a single circuit. They have taken 20 wins at Monza to date.
Ferrari hold the record for the most fastest laps at a single circuit. They’ve taken 20 fastest laps at both Silverstone and Monza. A fastest lap in the 2026 Italian Grand Prix would see them set a new record for the most fastest laps at a single track.
British drivers have scored at least one point in every Grand Prix since the 2018 British Grand Prix weekend, 176 races ago. A points scoring race for Britain this weekend would see the nation overtake Germany for the most consecutive races in which a country has scored. German drivers scored for 176 consecutive races between the 2008 British Grand Prix and the 2017 Italian Grand Prix.
A Q1 exit for Lance Stroll would see him become the first driver to record as many as 100 Q1 exits.
A victory for Kimi Antonelli would see Italy become the eighth nation to have won as many as 50 Grands Prix.
If Oscar Piastri or Charles Leclerc win, they will join a list of eight other drivers who have won as many as ten Grands Prix without ever winning the title.
A sixth place finish for Carlos Sainz or Fernando Alonso will see them equal Felipe Massa for the most sixth place finishes in F1 history. Massa recorded 27 sixth place finishes during his career, while Sainz and Alonso have had 26 to date.
With Kimi Antonelli having taken his maiden win at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, there are now 13 previous Grand Prix winners on the grid. If another driver takes a maiden victory this year, the next race will be the first time since the 1980 British Grand Prix that as many as 14 previous winners have lined up on the grid.
A pole position for Charles Leclerc would see him equal Nigel Mansell for eighth on the list of most poles with a single team. Mansell took 28 poles with Williams during his career, while Leclerc has taken 27 poles with Ferrari to date.
A podium finish for Charles Leclerc this weekend would see him equal Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel on the list of most top three finishes with Ferrari.
A Grand Slam for Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton – winning from pole position having led every lap and set the fastest lap – would be their seventh Grand Slam. It would see them take outright second place on the list of most Grand Slams in F1, behind only Jim Clark.
A Q3 appearance for Audi this weekend would mark the team’s fourth successive top ten qualification. It would be the former Sauber team’s longest such streak since one of their cars reached Q3 at all four races between the 2019 German and Italian Grands Prix.
If Lewis Hamilton wins the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, it will be the second time that he has won the Italian Grand Prix on September 6. It would be the 23rd time that a driver has won the same race twice on the same date.
The Italian Grand Prix Records On Offer
A victory for Lewis Hamilton at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix would see him set a new outright record for most wins at Monza. He’s currently tied with Michael Schumacher on five wins at the track.
Hamilton is also tied with Schumacher for the most podium finishes at Monza. Another top three result this weekend would see him become the first driver to record nine top three results at the track.
A fastest lap for Lando Norris in the 2026 Italian Grand Prix would make this the third consecutive season in which he has set the fastest lap of the race at Monza.
If a Ferrari-powered car finishes on the podium at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari will become the first engine manufacturer to record 75 podiums at the circuit.
Lando Norris, Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto will be hoping to maintain their 100% points-scoring records at Monza. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri, Kimi Antonelli and Gabirel Bortoleto will be hoping to maintain their 100% Q3 appearance records at the track.
Verstappen and Red Bull Chasing Records
Max Verstappen has won 71 races to date with Red Bull. Another victory would see him equal Michael Schumacher for the second-most victories with a single constructor. Schumacher won 72 races with Ferrari during his career. The record for most wins with a team is 84, for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.
A fastest lap for Max Verstappen would be his 38th, equalling Sebastian Vettel for fifth on the list of most fastest laps.
A victory for Max Verstappen in 2026 would make him only the fourth driver – after Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to have won in as many as 11 different Formula 1 seasons.
If Max Verstappen wins a race in 2026, it would be the 11th consecutive season in which he has won a Grand Prix. Verstappen would be only the third driver to win in as many as 11 successive years. Michael Schumacher reached the milestone in 2002, while Lewis Hamilton achieved the feat in 2017. Both drivers went on to win in 15 consecutive years.
A pole position in 2026 for Max Verstappen would make him the fifth driver – after Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to record pole positions in as many as eight consecutive Formula 1 seasons.
If Max Verstappen leads from start to finish, this would be the 19th Grand Prix which he has led from lights to flag. That would see him equal Ayrton Senna for second on the list of most races led from start to end.
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.
A victory for Red Bull would be their 131st win, equalling Mercedes for third on the list of all-time Grand Prix victories.
A victory for Red Bull in 2026 would make this the 11th consecutive season in which they have won a Grand Prix. They would be the fifth team to have won in as many as 11 successive seasons, after Lotus, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes.
Longevity Records on Offer for Alonso
Fernando Alonso’s last win came at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. A victory at any race in 2026 would see him set a new record for the longest gap between wins in F1 history, by quite a margin. Riccardo Patrese holds the current record, having waited 6 years, 6 months and 28 days between wins at the 1983 South African Grand Prix and the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix.
A podium finish for Fernando Alonso at any race in 2026 would see him overtake Alain Prost for fifth on the list of most podium finishes in Formula 1. Both drivers have recorded 106 top three finishes.
If Fernando Alonso leads a race, he would become only the third driver – after Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton – to have led a lap of a Grand Prix in as many as 16 different seasons.
A victory for Fernando Alonso in 2026 would make him only the fourth driver – after Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Alain Prost to have won with as many as four different constructors during his Formula 1 career.
