When was the track built?
One of the most famous and historic circuit of the World, unmatched for tradition and passion, the circuit in Monza was built in 1922, inside the Royal Park, in two different variants: a 5.5km road course, with no chicanes, and a 10km full course, which included the legendary oval, that will be abandoned in 1970.
Since then it went through numerous amendments, to keep up with safety and comfort standards, not loosing its soul and always hosting the most important races and categories.
When was its first Grand Prix?
In 1950, the final race of the first ever F1 title; the Italian Giuseppe Farina won the race, bringing the title to Alfa Romeo, exploiting the retirement of Juan Manuel Fangio, who started from pole.
It is one of the seven Italian circuit that will rotate in European Continental Series and World Title.
What’s the circuit like?
The fastest of the current F1 tracks, where cars are on full throttle for 80% of the lap, Monza has always been associated with top speeds, open races and overtakes in many of the big stops into tight chicanes.
Cars always run on minimum downforce; brakes are really put to the test.
The final corner Parabolica is key to have the best speed through the 1.1km main straight; the bravest and most precise drivers are rewarded.
Where is it located?
