It was the thirteenth race of the 1992 Formula One World Championship. The 53-lap race was won by Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, driving a McLaren-Honda, after he started from second position. It was Senna's third victory of the season. Briton Martin Brundle finished second in a Benetton-Ford, with German teammate Michael Schumacher third. Pre-race As at the last Grand Prix in Belgium, there was no pre-qualifying session as entrants dropped out. The Brabham team had not returned after missing the last race, and Andrea Moda had been excluded from Formula One by FISA for "conduct prejudicial to the sport" after a succession of chaotic events throughout the season so far.Walker Murray 1992 Murray Walker's 1992 Grand Prix Year Hazleton Publishing 111–118 0-905138-99-6 The team arrived at Monza but were refused entry.Campbell Shaun January 1998 Perry McCarthy: The worst car I ever drove https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/january-1998/87/worst-car-i-ever-drove Motor Sport LXXIV 1 86–87 10 June 2020 This left 28 cars in the qualifying sessions. Nigel Mansell announced his retirement from Formula One on the morning of the race, as rumours circulated that Williams had already signed Alain Prost for 1993, as well as attempting to sign Ayrton Senna. Angered and hurt by this, Mansell decided to announce his retirement despite being told minutes before the press conference that he would be able to partner Prost. Prost and Mansell previously had a difficult partnership at Ferrari in 1990. Qualifying Qualifying report Nigel Mansell took his eleventh pole position of the season in his Williams-Renault by 0.6 seconds from Ayrton Senna's McLaren-Honda. On Ferrari's home soil, Jean Alesi took third and Ivan Capelli seventh; between them were Mansell's teammate Riccardo Patrese, Senna's teammate Gerhard Berger, and Michael Schumacher's Benetton. The top ten was completed by Thierry Boutsen in the Ligier, Martin Brundle in the other Benetton and Bertrand Gachot tenth in Larrousse's best qualifying performance of the season. The Jordans, with their underpowered Yamaha engines, struggled with Maurício Gugelmin coming 26th after an engine failure on Saturday morning, and Stefano Modena failing to qualify. Modena was joined in non-qualification by Christian Fittipaldi's Minardi.

At the start Mansell took the lead ahead of Senna who just managed to stay ahead of Alesi then Patrese and Capelli. Schumacher had a poor start selecting a wrong gear and then hit a Ligier from behind at the first chicane. He had to pit to replace the nose and front wing at the end of the first lap. Patrese managed to overtake Alesi at the start of lap 2. The opening laps saw both Berger and Schumacher recovering many positions from the back of the field and overtaking a number of slower cars. At the front Mansell opened a gap with Senna unable to match his pace. The positions were Mansell, Senna with Patrese closing down on him and then the two Ferraris of Alesi and Capelli. Next Martin Brundle managed to overtake Capelli and moved into 5th position. Lap 12 proved disastrous for the Ferrari team with both cars retiring, Alesi, who was in fourth, due to a mechanical problem and Capelli spinning off at the Parabolica with electronic problems. On lap 14 Patrese overtook Senna and moved into second. Meanwhile, Berger pitted for new tyres and dropped back again. On lap 17 the order was Mansell in first, ten seconds in front of Patrese, with Senna two seconds further behind. Fourth was Brundle, some 28 seconds behind Mansell and then Boutsen and Herbert over 40 seconds behind Mansell. On lap 18, Herbert retired from sixth with an engine issue. On lap 20 Patrese suddenly appeared in the lead as Mansell let his team-mate pass. The order was Patrese followed closely by Mansell and Senna in third. Schumacher overtook Boutsen and moved into fifth place. Positions at lap 27 were: Patrese, Mansell, Senna, Brundle, Schumacher and Boutsen. As the lead trio lapped the slower cars of Berger and Comas, Mansell continued to stay very close to Patrese and Senna tried his best not to lose contact with the two Williams cars; in fact he closed up on Mansell momentarily when the Williams had to take evasive action passing Comas at the Roggia. On lap 41 Mansell slowed through the Ascari bends and coasted into the pits with gearbox failure from loss of hydraulic pressure and had to retire. Classification at lap 44 was: Patrese, Senna, Brundle, Schumacher, then Berger and de Cesaris both a lap down. Patrese led comfortably until six laps from the end he suffered a hydraulic problem, forcing him to slow down and concede the lead to Ayrton Senna. In the closing stages of the race Senna allowed his teammate Berger to unlap himself. Patrese limped to the end of the race and finished fifth. Senna won the race in what proved to be his last win with a Honda-powered car. The other places on the podium went to the two Benettons of Brundle and Schumacher.Tremayne David October 1992 1992 Italian Grand Prix: A weekend of surprises https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1992/16/a-weekend-of-surprises Motor Sport LXVIII 10 926–932 9 November 2020 Race classification Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 1 Brazil Ayrton Senna McLaren-Honda 53 1:18:15.349 2 10 2 20 UK Martin Brundle Benetton-Ford 53 + 17.050 9 6 3 19 Germany Michael Schumacher Benetton-Ford 53 + 24.373 6 4 4 2 Austria Gerhard Berger McLaren-Honda 53 + 1:25.490 5 3 5 6 Italy Riccardo Patrese Williams-Renault 53 + 1:33.158 4 2 6 4 Italy Andrea de Cesaris Tyrrell-Ilmor 52 + 1 lap 21 1 7 9 Italy Michele Alboreto Footwork-Mugen-Honda 52 + 1 lap 16 8 22 Italy Pierluigi Martini Dallara-Ferrari 52 + 1 lap 22 9 30 Japan 1947 Ukyo Katayama Venturi-Lamborghini 50 Transmission 23 10 16 Austria Karl Wendlinger March-Ilmor 50 + 3 laps 17 11 21 Finland JJ Lehto Dallara-Ferrari 47 Engine 14 Ret Retired 33 Brazil Maurício Gugelmin Jordan-Yamaha 46 Transmission 26 Ret Retired 5 UK Nigel Mansell Williams-Renault 41 Electrical 1 Ret Retired 25 Belgium Thierry Boutsen Ligier-Renault 41 Throttle 8 Ret Retired 26 France Érik Comas Ligier-Renault 35 Spun off 15 Ret Retired 15 Italy Gabriele Tarquini Fondmetal-Ford 30 Gearbox 20 Ret Retired 3 France Olivier Grouillard Tyrrell-Ilmor 26 Engine 18 Ret Retired 12 UK Johnny Herbert Lotus-Ford 18 Engine 13 Ret Retired 17 Italy Emanuele Naspetti March-Ilmor 17 Engine 24 Ret Retired 27 France Jean Alesi Ferrari 12 Fuel system 3 Ret Retired 28 Italy Ivan Capelli Ferrari 12 Electrical/Spun off 7 Ret Retired 24 Italy Gianni Morbidelli Minardi-Lamborghini 12 Engine 12 Ret Retired 29 France Bertrand Gachot Venturi-Lamborghini 11 Engine 10 Ret Retired 11 Finland Mika Häkkinen Lotus-Ford 5 Engine 11 Ret Retired 10 Japan 1947 Aguri Suzuki Footwork-Mugen-Honda 2 Suspension 19 Ret Retired 14 Belgium Eric van de Poele Fondmetal-Ford 0 Clutch 25 DNQ Did not qualify 23 Brazil Christian Fittipaldi Minardi-Lamborghini DNQ Did not qualify 32 Italy Stefano Modena Jordan-YamahaSource:1992 Italian Grand Prix https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1992/races/586/italy.html formula1.com 8 November 2017 8 November 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171108204819/https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/1992/races/586/italy.html dead Championship standings after the race Drivers' Championship standings PosDriverPoints 10px 1 GBR Nigel Mansell 98 10px 1 2 GER Michael Schumacher 47 10px 1 3 BRA Ayrton Senna 46 10px 2 4 ITA Riccardo Patrese 46 10px 5 AUT Gerhard Berger 27Source:Italy 1992 - Championship • STATS F1 https://www.statsf1.com/en/1992/italie/championnat.aspx www.statsf1.com 18 March 2019 Constructors' Championship standings Pos Constructor Points 10px 1 GBR Williams-Renault 144 10px 2 GBR Benetton-Ford 74 10px 3 GBR McLaren-Honda 73 10px 4 ITA Ferrari 16 10px 5 GBR Lotus-Ford 11Source: Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
