Monza F1 Tickets

History of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix

The Italian Grand Prix has been part of the Formula One World Championship calendar since 1950. Alongside the British Grand Prix, it has run every single year since the inception of Formula One, with all but one of these events being held at Monza (the exception was 1980 when it was held at Imola).

The Autodromo Nazionale di Monza was built in 1922 and was the third permanent race track in the world (alongside Brooklands and Indianapolis). Giuseppe Farina won the first-ever F1 Italian Grand Prix in 1950 and went on to win the first F1 World Championship that same year.

Developments to the circuit made it the fastest Formula One race by 1972, which introduced the chicane that now serves as Turns 1-2. Imola hosted the 1980 Italian Grand Prix while Monza had major facility upgrades, including a new pit lane.

As the cars got quicker, so did the lap times. 2020 saw the fastest-ever lap of Monza, with Lewis Hamilton averaging speeds of 164 mph. The 2023 Italian Grand Prix set the record for the shortest-ever Formula One race (fully completed), taking just 73 minutes.

An iconic Grand Prix, home to some of the most passionate F1 fans in the world. Monza is a must-visit for any Formula One fan. Grab your tickets for the Italian Grand Prix from Fanatix.

2025 Italian Grand Prix Summary

Max Verstappen returned to his dominant best at Monza, winning by over 19 seconds after a tense opening-lap duel with Lando Norris. The race was defined by a controversial McLaren team order; after a slow pit stop dropped Norris behind Oscar Piastri, the team instructed the championship leader to cede the position to aid Norris’s title bid. Charles Leclerc finished a distant fourth, while Lewis Hamilton recovered to sixth on his Ferrari home debut. The result ignited a storm over McLaren’s “papaya rules,” even as they secured another double podium.

FAQs about Monza F1 Tickets How do I get to the Monza circuit from Milan?

Most fans stay in Milan and take the train to Monza. On race weekend, Trenord usually offers a special “Monza GP” integrated ticket that includes a return train journey from any Milan station to Monza station plus the “Black Line” shuttle bus that takes you directly to the circuit entrance. The train ride takes about 20 minutes, followed by a 20-minute shuttle and a bit of walking through the park to reach your seat.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Monza has strict security rules. You are generally allowed to bring a small backpack with personal snacks, but outside food is technically restricted. For drinks, you may only bring plastic bottles of 500ml or less, and the caps must be removed at the entrance. Glass bottles, cans, and alcohol are strictly prohibited. There are plenty of “Food Zones” around the track serving Italian specialties like pizza and paninis.

What is the difference between General Admission and Grandstand seats?

General Admission (Prato) at Monza grants access to the park’s circular paths and grassy embankments. While budget-friendly, these spots are unreserved and require arriving very early (often by 7:00 AM) to claim a view. Grandstand tickets provide a numbered, reserved seat. Because many Monza seats are metal or concrete benches, we highly recommend bringing a small seat cushion for comfort.

Is the Italian Grand Prix a Sprint weekend?

The 2026 Italian Grand Prix is currently scheduled as a traditional race weekend. This means you will see two practice sessions on Friday, a final practice and Qualifying on Saturday, and the main Grand Prix on Sunday. Support races typically include Formula 2, Formula 3, and the Porsche Supercup.

Are the grandstands at Monza covered?

Only a few premium grandstands are covered, primarily the Centrale (Main) grandstand on the start/finish straight and certain sections of the Laterale stands. Most other grandstands and all General Admission areas are fully exposed to the sun. Late summer in Italy can be very hot, so bring high-SPF sunscreen and a hat. Conversely, sudden thunderstorms are common, so a compact rain poncho is essential.

Can I see the podium ceremony?

Yes! Monza is famous for one of the most iconic track invasions in the world. After the race, marshals open the gates near the start/finish straight and the Parabolica. Thousands of fans (the Tifosi) rush onto the track to stand under the suspended “podium plate” to celebrate. If you want a good spot under the podium, try to move toward the track access gates during the final laps of the race.

Can I see the old banked track?

Yes! The historic high-speed oval with its steep concrete banking is still located within the Monza park. It is no longer used for racing, but you can walk up to it and even walk on sections of the banking in several areas of the park. It is a must-see for any true motorsport history fan.

Is there a dress code for Monza?

There is no formal dress code for grandstands or General Admission—comfortable walking shoes are the most important thing! However, if you are a fan of Ferrari, expect to be part of a “sea of red.” If you have tickets for the Paddock Club or other VIP hospitality lounges, a smart-casual dress code is usually required.
