Italian GP circuit and details
Originally built in 1922, Monza is a high-speed parkland blast in northern Italy.
The track held the first world championship Italian GP in 1950, and has kept the event every year bar one in 1980, when it was moved to Imola so Monza could undergo renovation.
With a lap at 80% full throttle, the circuit is the fastest on the F1 calendar. Lewis Hamilton set F1’s fastest ever lap at Monza in 2020 qualifying, running at an average speed of 264km/h (164mph).

Ironically for a track which used to be the one at which to slipstream your rivals, Monza is now a difficult circuit to pass at due to the DRS trains that form.
Owing to this, it occasionally throws up freak results, when incidents and safety car restarts shuffle the pack.
Pierre Gasly won his first F1 race there for AlphaTauri in 2020, while Daniel Ricciardo took McLaren’s first win in nine years at the 2021 race.
At 5.8km in length and with a race length of 53 laps, the track has two DRS zones, on the start/finish straight and in the run up to the Variante Ascari chicane.
With dry running forecast across the weekend, it’s likely we won’t see the pitstop strategy chaos of Zandvoort last week.
