2007 Italian Grand Prix winner Fernando Alonso leads the pack (GettyImages)
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza has been a classic fixture in F1 ever since the first Formula 1 Championship was run in 1950, and has carried the same respect and prestige through to the present day. Best known for its long straight stretches, Monza is synonymous with pure horsepower and adrenalin pumping speed, which requires a delicate balance of steering to counter the risk of understeer and oversteer in different sections of the circuit. Fernando Alonso had just the right balance last year, racing for McLaren, in the wake of Michael Schumacher's retirement in 2006. Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen have also seen victories at the prestigious event in previous years, and are back for more this season.
