McLaren's double world champion Fernando Alonso chalked up his 19th career win at Monza on Sunday in the team's fourth one-two of the season.
One more win would enable the 26-year-old Spaniard to equal Mika Hakkinen's career tally and join the Finn in equal 11th place in the all time table of winners.
Alonso has won four races this year, one more than his rivals - McLaren team mate Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari's Kimi
Raikkonen and Felipe Massa.
Hamilton, 22, leads Alonso by three points with four races remaining.
The Briton is only the fourth driver to win three times in his first season. The others are Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio and Italian Giuseppe Farina (both 1950) and Canadian Jacques Villeneuve (1996).
McLaren and Ferrari are the only teams to have won this season. Ferrari have won 198 races (out of a total of 753
started since 1950). McLaren have won 155, Williams 113.

POINTS
Alonso has scored points in his last 16 races. The Spaniard is the only driver to have scored in every race this year.
Ferrari's retired champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for most successive races in the points - 24 from 2001 to 2003. Alonso's career best is 18 in 2005-2006.

POLE
Alonso won in Italy from pole position. Nine of the 13 races this season have been won by the driver who took the top slot in qualifying.
BELGIUM
Kimi Raikkonen, now with Ferrari, has won the last two Belgian Grands Prix for McLaren.
McLaren and Ferrari have won the last six races at Spa between them, and eight of the last nine.
Because there was no race last year, nine of the 22 drivers will be starting their first Belgian Grand Prix.
This year's race is the final European round of the championship.
