In 2017, Vettel garnered a lowly P3 behind Hamilton and Bottas at Monza

Sebastian Vettel earned arguably his most memorable Monza moment back in 2008.

Then, driving as a young but charismatic Toro Rosso driver, the German earned a fighting win under challenging inclement weather, thus garnering the only race-win for the sister outfit of Red Bull Racing.

Vettel's overall record at Monza includes some feisty triumphs starting 2008, followed by big wins in 2011 and 2013. Back then, his wins would come with Red Bull, a team he will be cautious about this racing weekend.

One doesn't quite know when would a Red Bull come out of nowhere and emerge with a win, as seen at China and Austria earlier this season.

But that said, Vettel, will draw confidence from his imposing triumph at Spa-Francorchamps. The win not only rattled the Mercedes, including its top driver, Lewis Hamilton but gave a fair idea of the grid about Ferrari's menacing pace. So the question is, can Vettel emerge with a fourth win and tie the record for most wins by the current drivers on the grid with Lewis?

We will have to wait and see.
