Flat-out blast into the Rettifilo chicane — a big stop that is consistently the most significant overtaking zone on the calendar.

Through the Curva Grande, Variante della Roggia and the twin Lesmos — a rhythm sector where cars run lower downforce than anywhere else.

The Variante Ascari chicane and the long right-hand Parabolica onto the main straight — lap time lives in that final apex.

A five-car slipstream battle saw Peter Gethin pip Ronnie Peterson by 0.01s — the closest official Formula 1 finish ever. The lead changed hands repeatedly into the Parabolica on the final lap.

In a wet race for Toro Rosso, 21-year-old Sebastian Vettel took pole and led every lap to become the youngest-ever F1 race winner at the time — and Toro Rosso's only victory.

A Hamilton penalty and a Leclerc red-flag crash flipped the order. Pierre Gasly emerged from the chaos to win his first F1 race for AlphaTauri — the team's first victory and one of the unlikeliest of the modern era.
