The '''2004 Italian Grand Prix''' (officially the '''Formula 1 Gran Premio Vodafone d'Italia 2004''')<ref>{{cite web|title=FORMULA 1™ Gran Premio Vodafone d'Italia 2004 - Race|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2004/races/767/italy/race-result.html|accessdate=2 January 2021}}</ref> was a [[Formula One]] motor race held on 12 September 2004 at the [[Autodromo Nazionale di Monza]]. Ferrari took a 1–2 in front of the delighted [[Tifosi]], with [[Rubens Barrichello]] ahead of teammate [[Michael Schumacher]]. Both cars had to make their way through the field from the back, Barrichello having made an early pitstop after choosing the wrong tyres at the start and Schumacher having spun on the first lap. This was the last race for [[Giorgio Pantano]].
 
The race was perhaps best known for speed records set during the race. In the first part of qualifying (which did not count towards grid positions), Juan Pablo Montoya lapped Monza in his [[Williams FW26]] at an average speed of 262.242&nbsp;km/h (162.9&nbsp;mph), the fastest lap ever, at the time, in the history of Formula One which was subsequently surpassed by [[Lewis Hamilton]], [[Sebastian Vettel]] and [[Kimi Räikkönen]] at the [[2018 Italian Grand Prix|2018]] edition. The next day in the race, Montoya's teammate [[Antônio Pizzonia]] reached a top speed of 369.9&nbsp;km/h (229.9&nbsp;mph), the fastest speed ever recorded in Formula One at the time (it was to be exceeded by Montoya in [[2005 Italian Grand Prix|2005]]).
 
In the [[Minardi]] pit garage, the car of [[Gianmaria Bruni]] caught fire after fuel escaped from the hose onto the hot bodywork during a routine pit-stop, and it was put out without any serious injury. Bruni inhaled some of the extinguishant and was having trouble breathing and so the team decided to retire the car.<ref name=gpe>{{cite web|title= Grand Prix Results: Italian GP, 2004 |url= http://grandprix.com/gpe/rr728.html |work= GrandPrix.com |access-date= 9 June 2012 }}</ref>

== Report ==
=== Background ===
After the Belgian Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher was already crowned driver world champion. He led the drivers' championship unassailably with 40 points ahead of Rubens Barrichello and 63 points ahead of Jenson Button. After the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ferrari was confirmed as constructors' world champion. They held an unassailable lead in the constructors' championship with 125 points ahead of Renault and 131 points ahead of BAR-Honda.
 
This race was [[Scuderia Ferrari]]'s 700th start in a World Championship event as a team.<ref>Privateer Ferrari entry in [[1950 French Grand Prix]], which is often a source of incorrect count for their races ''as a team'' (as opposed to ''as a manufacturer'') doesn't count towards the team's participations.</ref> This was the last race for [[Giorgio Pantano]].
 
=== Qualifying ===
In the first qualifying, in which the starting positions for the second qualifying were determined, Montoya achieved the fastest time. Barrichello was fastest in qualifying and secured pole position with a time of 1:20.089 minutes. Montoya came second ahead of Michael Schumacher.
 
In the first part of qualifying (which did not count towards grid positions), Montoya lapped Monza in his [[Williams FW26]] at an average speed of {{Convert|262.242|km/h|abbr=on}}, which at the time, was the fastest lap recorded at Monza, and the highest average speed over one lap in Formula One. These records would stand until the [[2018 Italian Grand Prix|2018 edition]].
 
=== Race ===
[[File:Fale F1 Monza 2004 31.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Michael Schumacher]] finished second, driving for [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]].]]
The morning of the race was quite rainy and at the time of departure there were still wet parts of the circuit, which made tire selection difficult. At the beginning of the race, Alonso overtakes Barrichello; while Schumacher drops to 15th position after an incident. However, against all odds, Barrichello manages to regain third position after stopping on lap 5 to put on dry tires and Barrichello climbs back into first place.
