Sergio Perez is eagerly anticipating a return to Monza, a venue where the Sauber rookie has tasted success in the past.
The Mexican rookie has raced at the Monza circuit several times, including victories back in his Formula 3 days.
And although winning the grand prix, or even finishing on the podium, may be a step too far, the 21-year-old is determined to bag points at this weekend's Italian GP.
"I'm very much looking forward to the Italian Grand Prix. The track in Monza is one of my favourites. There I did what I regard as my best race weekend so far," Perez said.
"It was in Formula 3 when I qualified 14th and won both races. In 2007 and 2008 I raced there in F3 and then also in GP2.
"The very long straights in Monza could be tough for us. I want to maintain a good rhythm with positive performances in qualifying and for the start. Then, of course, I want to finish the race and score points for the team.
"It is my aim to finish the European season on a high."
Perez has failed to score in the last three grands prix and finds himself 15th in the Drivers' Championship on eight points.
