Red Bull's Max Verstappen will embark on writing his name into the Formula One history books as he goes for his fifth race win in succession at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix this weekend.
After taking wins in France, Hungary, Belgium and last weekend at home track Zandvoort in the Netherlands, the Dutch driver will be looking to become just the eighth different driver in the sport's history to record five straight victories.
The most recent driver to complete that feat was Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton back in 2020, though the British driver's reactions left a lot to be desired when Verstappen passed him on the safety car restart to claim victory last weekend.
Regardless, his and teammate George Russell's pace in the Netherlands proved a wake up call for their rivals and both will be expected to challenge at the top of the order in qualifying for the 2022 Italian Grand Prix on Saturday.
Ferrari will also be hoping to receive a homecoming boost in Monza after a string of high profile strategic errors have left them vulnerable to a Mercedes attack in the constructors championship. Both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have held the upper hand in free practice so far this weekend but it's yet to be seen if they can challenge for pole position around this famous track.
The 'Prancing Horse' cars will also be wearing a one-off special yellow highlighted livery for the race as they celebrate 75 years in the sport.

The team's reserve driver Nyck De Vries will therefore take the wheel for his first ever F1 qualifying and subsequent race.
