5 possibilities of records that lie at the 2018 Italian Grand Prix

Ferrari have a chance to win their first home race since 2010

Ferrari's last win at Monza came thanks to Alonso, in 2010.

It's rather disconcerting, specifically from a Ferrari point of view that the last that the Italian racing team won in a Grand Prix in its own backyard was in 2010.

Since 12 September 2010, the Prancing Horse supporter, whether in Italy or anywhere in the world hasn't seen any Ferrari driver embrace the top step of the podium at Monza.

Thanks to Alonso, then driving for the Scuderia, the home team ended up scoring an immensely-valued win ahead of Jenson Button of McLaren-Mercedes.

All of that could change this weekend should Sebastian Vettel or his teammate, Kimi Raikkonen manage to garner a win. The chances of the later, however, remain as elusive as the spectacle of spotting a mermaid at a beach.

For now, it's all to play for, for the 20 drivers on the grid and the 10 teams in pursuit of glory at Monza.
