About the Circuit
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of the oldest and fastest circuits on the Formula 1 calendar, stretching 5.793 kilometres per lap and featuring just 11 corners. Its layout places a premium on straight-line speed and low-downforce setups, making it a distinctive challenge compared to the technical circuits that dominate much of the season.
Monza has hosted the Italian Grand Prix for decades and carries a weight of history that few venues can match. The circuit’s character consistently produces races defined by slipstreaming battles and tight margins, and the passionate Italian crowd adds an atmosphere that sets the weekend apart from any other on the calendar.
