Jake Humphrey hosts live pre-race coverage of the Italian Grand Prix from Monza. Five different drivers have won the race in the past five years and there could well be a sixth this time around. The contest in 2008 was a thriller, with Sebastian Vettel holding off the field to claim a maiden GP victory for both himself and his Toro Rosso team. The 21-year-old German also became Formula 1's youngest-ever race winner. Lewis Hamilton was seventh, a disappointing result as he had been on the podium in four of his previous five races, but a remarkable achievement given that he started 15th on the grid.
