Circuit Guide

Monza is the Temple of Speed — the fastest lap of the season, where cars run skinny wings and spend over 80% of the lap at full throttle. The atmosphere is unmatched: the tifosi turn the royal park red for Ferrari regardless of where the team sits in the standings. Slipstreaming makes qualifying a tactical chess match, and the two chicanes guarantee late-braking drama into the first lap.

Watching from the US

Sunday morning race for US fans. Monza rewards watching the start above all: the run from pole to the first chicane is long enough that the leader almost never exits Turn 1 first. If the championship is close, the tow games in Saturday qualifying are half the entertainment.
