When was the last time that an Italian driver won the Italian GP?

Kimi Antonelli came from 19th in the grid to win the Italian Grand Prix in his home nation on Sunday afternoon.

Despite qualifying in seventh, Antonelli started the race in 19th due to major power-unit component grid penalties and, expectedly, few game him a chance at Monza.

The 20-year-old completed 26 overtakes, with the final one seeing him pass Mercedes teammate George Russell in the 51st lap to win the race.

It's a remarkable victory that sees his lead at the top of the 2026 F1 standings extend to 66 points, with Antonelli's Monza triumph marking his seventh win of the season.

Following Antonelli's home victory, we take a look at the last time that an Italian driver won the Italian Grand Prix.

When was the last time that an Italian driver won the Italian GP?

The last time that an Italian driver won the Italian GP was in 1966, where Ludovico Scarfiotti emerged victorious.

Scarfiotti entered the Monza contest in P2, but he overtook his Ferrari teammate Mike Parkes to win the race.

It was his only win of the 1966 season -- where he finished 10th -- and his victory in Monza saw him become the first Italian driver to win the Italian GP since Alberto Ascari in 1952.
