The city of Milan itself is taken over by Grand Prix fever, with two of F1’s three non-British-based teams (Ferrari and AlphaTauri) based in Italy. Fans of the Italian team - known as the Tifosi - are some of the most passionate in the world, with iconic post-race scenes of track invasions every year. It’s also the scene of Sebastian Vettel’s first win in F1 for the same team, but Monza truly springs to life when Ferrari perform. Pierre Gasly stormed to an iconic maiden win in 2020, beating McLaren’s Carlos Sainz to the chequered flag by a fraction of a second. Average lap speeds can reach a monumental 264km/h, with teams setting their cars up for high power and low downforce.
This historic Italian circuit is built for high-octane racing. There’s a reason the Italian Grand Prix is one of two races to be held in every Formula 1 season: Monza truly is the temple of speed.
