For the team that have won by far the most Grands Prix at Monza in the history of F1 (19 compared to second-best McLaren’s 10), Ferrari’s record at the Italian track in the 2010s had been disheartening heading into the 2019 race, with Fernando Alonso having recorded their sole win of the decade up till that point, way back in 2010.

Worse than that, since 2014, Mercedes had taken each and every victory at La Pista Magica, with Lewis Hamilton having most recently demoralised fans in 2018 by nabbing the win from polesitter Kimi Raikkonen in a fantastic tussle between the pair.

But riding high on his debut victory for Ferrari at the previous race in Belgium, could Charles Leclerc, or team mate and three-time Monza winner Sebastian Vettel, close out the decade with a much dreamed-of home win?

How they stood before the race

Lewis Hamilton had already stamped his authority on the drivers’ championship by the time the teams arrived at Monza, heading the standings from team mate Valtteri Bottas by 65 points thanks to his eight victories so far in the season.

Leclerc’s win in Belgium, meanwhile, had only helped him close up to his fellow rivals in the frontrunning teams, the Monegasque a lowly fifth after his up-and-down start to the year.
