2015 winner: Hamilton
Start time: 1200 GMT (1400 local)
WINS
Champions Mercedes have won 44 of the last 51 races and 12 of this season's 13.
Triple world champion Lewis Hamilton and team mate Nico Rosberg have won six each. Red Bull's Max Verstappen is the other winner this season.
Hamilton has 49 career victories. The Briton is third in the all-time list behind Schumacher (91) and Alain Prost (51), and seven ahead of Ferrari's four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel.
McLaren's Fernando Alonso has 32 wins, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Rosberg 20 and McLaren's Jenson Button 15.
Rosberg has more victories than any other non-champion in the history of the sport.
Ferrari have won 224 races in total, McLaren 182, Williams 114, Mercedes 57, Red Bull 51. McLaren last won in 2012.
POLE POSITION
Mercedes have been on pole in 48 of the last 51 races and all but one of this season's grands prix.
Hamilton has 55 career poles and is third on the all-time list behind Schumacher (68) and Ayrton Senna (65). Vettel has 46, Rosberg 28.
POINTS
Sauber (Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr) are the only team yet to score a point in 2016.
Renault's Jolyon Palmer, Haas's Esteban Gutierrez and Manor's Esteban Ocon have yet to open their accounts.
ITALIAN GRAND PRIX
Hamilton has won at Monza for the past two years and three times in total. The last to win there three times in a row was Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio in 1953-55.
The winner at Monza has ended the season as champion in four of the last five years.
A win by Vettel on Sunday would make him only the second driver, and first since Britain's Stirling Moss in the 1950s, to win at Monza with three different teams.
He has done so previously with Toro Rosso (2008) and Red Bull (2011 and 2013).
The Italian and British Grands Prix are the only ones to have featured every year since the championship started in 1950.
The Italian race has always been staged at Monza, with one exception -- at Imola in 1980.
Monza holds the record for Formula One's fastest lap, an average of 262.242 kph set by Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya before qualifying in 2004.
The race has been won from pole position nine times in the last 11 years and 13 of the last 17.
Michael Schumacher won a record five times at Monza, all with Ferrari -- who have 18 wins at the track, more than any other team.
MILESTONES
Hamilton can become only the third driver to win 50 races this weekend.
