After returning from summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort, it's a quick turnaround for Formula 1, with race number 16 on the record-tying 24-race 2025 schedule set to take place on Sunday at Monza.
The Italian Grand Prix is scheduled to be a 53-lap race around the 11-turn, 3.6-mile (5.794-kilometer) road course in Monza, Italy, and while qualifying is generally pretty important in Formula 1, this is a race for which it hasn't been nearly as crucial lately.
None of the five most recent editions of the Italian Grand Prix was won from pole. Last year's winner, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, won from fourth on the grid, and only two times in those five races did the winner even come from the front row.
The average starting position for a Monza winner since 2020 is fifth, and the race hasn't been won from pole since Leclerc won it in 2019.
