Why Every F1 Fan Loves Monza

If you’re an F1 fan, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza should be on your must-visit list. It's one of Formula 1's most famous tracks and has hosted races almost every year since the sport began. Here’s why Monza is so special.

What makes Monza unique is the incredible atmosphere created by Ferrari’s loyal fans, known as the tifosi. You'll see hundreds of Ferrari flags waving and fans cheering loudly. If Ferrari wins, the excitement is unbelievable!

Monza isn’t just about Formula 1. Throughout the weekend, there are many other races, including Formula 2, Formula 3, and Porsche Supercup. There's always something happening on track, keeping fans entertained all day long.

​Away from the racing, Monza has a great fan zone with lots to do. I enjoyed seeing F1 drivers on stage, chatting and joking with fans. You can also try sim racing or attempt a pit stop challenge, changing an F1 tire yourself!

Monza has many great places to watch the race. My favorite is the first chicane at the end of the main straight. There’s always exciting action here, as drivers push hard and often get into tight battlesand don’t be surprised there’s a bit of chaos during the race. There’s been plenty of action over the years.
