F1 Italian Grand Prix 2024: Interesting Facts about Monza

The 2023 Italian Grand Prix will take place on September 1st at the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza. This historic circuit, spanning 5.793 kilometres, has been a staple of Formula 1 since 1922, making it the oldest track on the current calendar.

Originally, Monza boasted a massive 10-kilometre layout, combining a 5.5-kilometre road section with a 4.5-kilometre loop. The loop was significantly redeveloped in the 1950s, transforming it into a high-speed banked oval. Except in 1980, when the race was held at Imola, the Italian Grand Prix has been a fixture at Monza. This makes it one of only four circuits to have participated in the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950.

Nestled within Europe's largest city park, Monza holds a special place in the hearts of Formula 1 fans, particularly the passionate Italian Tifosi who fervently support Ferrari.
