The 2012 Italian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Gran Premio Santander d'Italia 2012)[1] was a Formula One motor race that took place at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza in Monza, Italy on 9 September 2012.[3] It was the thirteenth race of the 2012 season, and the final race in Europe before the teams returned to Asia for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton qualified on pole, ahead of teammate Jenson Button. The result gave McLaren their sixty-second front-row lock-out, breaking the previous record set by Williams.[4] Hamilton won the race by four seconds from Sergio Pérez, with Fernando Alonso completing the podium.[5]
This was McLaren's last win at Monza until 2021 and as well the last race without Romain Grosjean until 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix.
