In the summer of 2022, I had a mind-blowing experience. Visiting the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the Temple of Speed, was something that I didn’t even dream of. I chose to call it an exhilarating experience, even though the word “exhilarating” doesn’t quite do justice to how incredible it was. Monza has hosted the most Grands Prix of any circuit around the world, with Monaco and Silvestrone being the only others coming close. It’s a relic of history, while also being modernized.
Please be sure to visit the Autodrome if you do visit Italy. It’s especially accessible if you’re visiting Milan, which is only half an hour away from the Circuit itself. That’s exactly what I did – I visited Monza along with visiting Milan.
When visiting the circuit, I took the Tour Experience and the Track Tour. They can be booked from the official website of the Monza Circuit ( monzanet.it ) . Now I will begin with the entire experience in chronological order.
Unfortunately, I was late to the experience, since the car park outside the circuit is a LONG walk (at least 20 minutes) from the meeting point where the tour begins. The experience began with the VIP Room, but I arrived in time to visit the Media Centre. The Media Centre was one of the most exciting parts of this tour for me. Since I aspire to make it into the Media Centre as a journalist one day, it was surreal to see the same room where journalists gather during press conferences to ask the drivers questions. The room was fairly massive and can hold hundreds of journalists at one time. It is located in the hospitality building, which is the building above the pitlane and the garages.
From the Media Centre, we moved to the Briefing Room. That is the room where the race director conducts a mandatory briefing for the drivers to explain the rules and regulations for the race weekend. Back in 2017, F1 used to publish videos of the F1 Driver Briefings for some races. Unfortunately, they don’t do that anymore. Since the briefing room is quite small, the briefings were switched to the large Media Centre because of COVID-19 regulations.
After the briefing room was one of the most fantastic moments of all. I got to stand on the podium of the Monza Circuit. This podium is more than just iconic. It’s known for being unique because it’s actually above the track itself. The podium finishers get to absorb the moment by seeing thousands of fans right before them.
READ MORE: 2021 Italian GP Race Review – RICCIARDO WINS!!!
Martin Brundle, who is one of the F1 commentators, described it as “the finest podium in the world.” I can only imagine what it must be like with the Tifosi on the track. It really brought back memories from when Charles Leclerc celebrated his win in Monza on the very same podium.
At the 2022 Italian GP, we got to witness the Tifosi in full force once again. As the drivers prepared and cooled down before the podium celebrations, the Tifosi ran onto the pit straight and hoisted their flags. During the podium ceremony, we saw many Ferrari and Italian flags and banners being held up with pride by the Tifosi. And when Charles Leclerc went on the podium and the crowd roared, I felt overjoyed knowing that I stood on that very same podium.
We didn’t just get to walk onto the podium, we also got to hold a trophy, which made this even more memorable. The view of the track, the stands, and the hospitality building are fantastic from the podium. Before the bridge leading to the podium, there are 2 rooms – the cool-down room, and the flags room. The cool-down room is where the drivers go to cool down before the podium celebrations. The flags room, I suppose, is for the flags of the podium finishers to be displayed. Nowadays, however, they don’t use physical flags anymore in F1; they display the flags on the screen that’s behind the drivers on the podium.
Race Control is a crucial part of Formula 1. It’s something that F1 cannot run smoothly without. Race Control monitors and supervises all on-track sessions. The Race Director and their staff sit in Race Control with the responsibility of making sure that everything is safe, legal, and running on schedule. As you can see in the image above, there are screens all over the room. This allows the Race Control unit to see all drivers’ onboard cameras and all parts of the circuit.
The FIA Race Director works with their team and with the stewards, along with being able to communicate with personnel about the safety car, medical facilities and marshal posts. The Race Control unit deploys the safety car and also relays important instructions, such as when a driver has a penalty. When a driver has committed an offence, Race Control can locate and identify it, and accordingly, penalise the driver.

As you can see, the Race Control room is quite large at the Monza Circuit. There were many screens, and it was more than up to standard. The extraordinary reach and interconnectivity that this room provides are beyond belief. Unfortunately, Race Control’s decisions towards the end of the 2022 Italian GP weren’t very popular with the fans. That’s something that we’re going to analyse in our upcoming review of the latest race at Monza!
After Race Control, we had the opportunity to spend time in the pitlane. We also got to see the box where the chequered flag is waved at the end of the race. We went on the circuit as well and got to walk on the finish line. However, our tour guide called us back to the pitlane, in order to make our way down the pitlane and to the bus for the track tour. Walking down the pitlane, the difference astonished me. It was so different during the race weekend. The pit boxes, the driver names, and all of the colours and intricate preparations we see during the race weekend were not there. That shows that before the race weekend a lot of prep is done at the circuit.
After walking down to the pitlane we went back to the original meeting point, and then got on the bus for the track tour. The video of the track tour is embedded above. It was fantastical going around the very same circuit that I have raced on so many times in the F1 game. The very same circuit where Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Rubens Barrichello, Charles Leclerc and more have won for Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton is the most successful at Monza in recent history, with 5 wins in Monza to his name. Seeing the tire tracks, the notorious kerbs, and the circuit as a whole is something I hadn’t even dreamed of.
Overall, it was a mind-blowing experience, and I definitely recommend that you go and check it out if you get the chance. See you in the next post!

I did the tour and it was very disappointing. Totally disorganised, late running and generally rubbish. Seeing the track was fabulous and the behind the scenes but having people read the text out on posters…. It was late starting because 1 group was late arriving, why not send them on the next tour? The track tour lasted 15 minutes and whilst booked was 40 minutes late as the locals who know the system jumped in the first few buses. Overall, loved Monza hated the tour.
Hi Dave! Surprised to hear that the tour was disorganized – for me the tour was actually quite well organized; it started on time, and they were thankfully accommodative and let me join the tour even though I arrived a bit late. When I went there was no delay in starting the track tour either.

There was almost no accurate information online about going here out of the F1 weekend. You need to get to Monza train station which costs very little for a return ticket, then exit the train station to the bus stop on the street at the next level (past the fountain, up the steps and the bus stop next to you at the top; a fuel garage is across the road). Then get bus Z221 towards Carate and get off at Vedano al Lambro, which is about 6-7 minutes journey time. Then walk east towards the large park, the circuit entrance is very close to the entrance of the park, it is a big gate. A ticket purchased on the bus is €1.60 each way. The Z221 will also take you back to Monza station from the opposite side of the road you get off on. The circuit is quiet on most days, free to enter but the circuit itself will be closed unless you buy a tour or track experience. There is a cafe, toilets, souvenir shop and a museum on Ayrton Senna. You can do a cycle around the track with a guide for €10 including bike hire. You can walk around the park to see most parts of the track but it is a lot of walking and in July August the heat is anywhere between 32-36, so uncomfortably warm. To get to the museum/cafe walk down the long road from the main gate and then turn right, you will go under a bridge (this goes under the track finish line) then when you reach the left turning go down that road. It's a fair amount of walking but the museum and cafe will be down this road on the right. The information office (where you book bike yours, hire bikes, have a minibus circuit tour) is close to the cafe on the right, it is closed for lunch 1200-1300. The Senna museum is past an old tram car and on the right, in a big weird shaped building. Entry is €7 for an adult. Take cold water and a hat as there is no shade or wind in most of the areas of the circuit, and it is hot.
We visited the Autodromo as part of a short holiday in the area . As Motorsport enthusiasts this was a must see and were happy to find an actual event being run at the same time . ( the Coppa del Intereuropa 2016). A fantastic collection of historic Grand Prix cars as well as some lovely old Alfas . If your not a petrol head the circuit sits in a beautiful public park in the heart of Monza. Giving lots of opportunities for walking or cycling.
Being an F1 fanatic, Monza, the temple of speed was a must on our trip to Milan and it didn't disappoint. We had the most amazing day out to Monza for the Ferrari Challenge event over Easter. A 20 minute underground ride from Duomo to Sesto 1 Maggio FS, a 5 minute train ride straight into Monza and a 25 minute bus ride wasn't the easiest commute, but cost no more than €20 return for the both of us. On the Sunday we were there, there was a free entry, Ferrari Challenge event day. There were hundreds of Ferrari cars on display, including an F50 and a LaFerrari. There was also a full compliment of Ferrari GT races, with all major grandstands were open, enabling us to watch some great races from some iconic corners, such as Ascari and Parabolica. The only downside, due to the event day, was the track experiences were unavailable. I would have loved a hot lap in a Ferrari 458. Maybe next time. The Monza museum was also hosting a Ayrton Senna exhibition which was both informative and emotional, being well worth the €7 entry. Drinks and food were as expected and reasonably priced. It was such a great day out and I can't wait to get there for an F1 race weekend in the near future.
We went up on the off chance the circuit would be open on a Monday morning, the place was deserted and we had it all to ourselves. We booked a fast lap in a Jag which was around 40 euro, and then did the tour of buildings, podium etc. It felt much more accessible than Silverstone by comparison and a bargain.
We would recommend the tour it was excellent and our tour guide Alessandra was brilliant. Lucky for us they were testing on the track as well. Well worth a visit.
My wife and I were visiting our son in Milan, and just had to make the pilgrimage to the Monza Autodrome. Their website left some confusion as to the opening times, so I sent an e-mail to the Monza info address. Alessandra promptly replied, and couldn't have more helpful.. many thanks to her. Alessandra provided travel instructions from our hotel in Milan via public transport, to the circuit. Do take the track ride in the minibus, we cycled but were not allowed to stop on the circuit to take photos. The behind-the-scenes tour is highly recommended - if only to stand on the podium and visit Bernies room! A very well recommended visit - and full marks to the Monza Autodrome tour team. Thank you!
Information
The Monza circuit is one of the world’s greatest temples to motor racing, one of those legendary circuits that fans know like the back of their hands — and one which has provided a stage for some of the greatest motor racing drivers and motorbike champions. Like many other racing circuits, Monza is open to the public, and offers several experiences for dedicated fans of motor sports.
Did you know the the Monza circuit is very near Milan ? A trip to the capital of Lombardy is the best way to see the Monza race track, whether on a simple sightseeing visit, or for a driving experience, or to watch a race.
In this article, you will learn more about Monza, and find out what you need to know if you’d like to visit it.
Monza is a legendary circuit in the motor racing world, and in particular in Formula 1 racing. The vertiginous track has provided some unforgettable moments and famous victories, and has inspired a great deal of passion for racing on four wheels. It has hosted Formula 1 races every year since the competition began in 1950, with only one exception: the 1980 season, when the circuit was closed for remodelling.
In addition, Monza is the second home of Ferrari, the most legendary Grand Prix team. When the Italian Grand Prix comes around, the cavallino rampante team’s cars seem to know that they’re competing on home turf as die-hard fans of the Red Team pack the stands.
The Monza National Racetrack opened in September 1922 The layout of the original, 10-kilometre-long, oval, asphalt track was very similar to what we see today. However, a series of fatal accidents occurred very early on, and in the 1930s the track was modified to incorporate additional bends, until a decision was taken to race on only part of the oval. Over the circuit’s history, 35 spectators and 52 drivers have met their deaths there, including the legendary Alberto Ascari , Ferrari’s first world champion.
The current track layout dates from the year 2000, and includes a total of 11 bends. Its L-shaped silhouette is unmistakable, and allows for a very fast race, with top speeds exceeding 330 kilometres per hour.
Monza’s other major feature is its chicanes, known as variantes , which cause drivers to brake from top speeds down to below 100 km per hour. One such chicane is the Rettifilo at the end of the home straight, which has always brought fans out in goosebumps once the starting gun has been fired.
Monza’s most famous bend is the Parabolica , the last turn before the home straight. Its layout recalls that of Monza’s old oval track, placed practically behind the bend. To win, it is vital to speed through here, braking as little as possible.
These high-speed tracks attract fans from all over the world seeking a thrill on the asphalt. Driving a sports car , racing with a professional driver, or taking a safe driving course — these are just a few of the activities offered by circuits such as the one at Monza.
Have you ever dreamt of travelling at high speed in a car driven by a racing driver? At Monza, you can make your dream come true. You can book one of these track experiences for a thrilling (but very safe) adrenaline rush. In addition, this is a great way to experience the track from the driver’s perspective: to travel at extreme speeds along the straight sections and to feel the excitement of the famous chicanes.
If you would prefer to be in the driving seat, you will find driving experiences with names such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche at Monza. A dream come true for any motor sport fan.
If you’d rather avoid risks, you can always opt for a guided tour of the circuit . This includes the main and most exclusive areas of Monza, such as the paddock, the boxes, the control tower, and the podium. It is possible to tour the circuit itself, either in a van or on a bicycle.
Circuits such as Monza also promote road safety, and offer safe driving courses under various road conditions. This is a brilliant way to learn techniques for managing the risks that you will meet every day on the roads.
Monza’s ultimate race is the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix. This takes place in late summer and attracts thousands of tiffosi , most of whom are Ferrari fans.
Just like with any other Formula 1 race, it is advisable to obtain your tickets well in advance, as demand is huge. Tickets can cover just the Sunday race or the entire weekend, so that you can enjoy the training and qualifying, and the other, parallel races that are all part of the Grand Prix.
On the Sunday of the race itself, we recommend that you travel to the circuit by public transport first thing in the morning, in order to avoid traffic jams and congestion. If you do decide to go, don’t worry that you’ll be bored during the hours before the race starts, as there are any number of activities taking place, and entertainment is guaranteed.
The Monza race track is part of the city of the same name. In fact, the track is part of Monza Park , home to the Villa Reale, which was the royal palace during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Regno d’Italia. The palace, with its neo-classical architecture, has lovely gardens, and hosts frequent exhibitions. The park is one of Europe’s largest, covering over 700 hectares .
Villa Real de Monza
In the centre of Monza, you will also find a number of places of interest, including the fourteenth-century cathedral, where the Lombardy iron crown is kept. This crown, dating from the fifth century, was used in the coronation of the Holy Roman emperors, including Charles V, and is one of Christianity’s oldest relics.
Catedral de Monza
Other buildings worth seeing are the thirteenth-century Arengario, (the equivalent of a modern-day town hall) as well as several fascinating churches, such as Sant Maria in Strada.

Autodromo Nazionale Monza, revered in the high-speed motorsport realm as the “ Temple of Speed ,” sits as a cornerstone of Formula 1 history in Italy. Established in 1922, and claiming the title of the world’s third purpose-built motorsport circuit, Monza rapidly became synonymous with high-octane racing. Within its first year, the circuit hosted the Italian Grand Prix , a tradition it upholds to this day, save for a single exception. Acknowledged for its electrifying pace, Monza has witnessed some of the fastest laps in Formula 1, a testament to its design where cars thunder down extensive straights and push the limits of speed.
Nestled in a serene parkland setting near Milan, the track combines the adrenaline of racing with a tranquil ambiance. The historic banked turns, although no longer in use for competitions, remain visible, echoing the circuit’s storied legacy. Spectators, especially those gathered at the grandstands around the Variante del Rettifilo, observe awe-inspiring decelerations as vehicles transition from their maximum speeds to navigate tight chicanes, making it a prime location for overtaking maneuvers.
Monza’s layout prioritizes velocity and exertion on the brakes, with long full-throttle stretches culminating in substantial braking zones. This configuration continually challenges both the engineering of the cars and the dexterity of their drivers, ensuring that every race in Monza delivers a breathtaking spectacle of technical prowess and driver skill.
The Monza Circuit, with a history extending back over a century, is not only a staple in the realm of motorsports but also an emblematic site that testifies to the evolution of racing. Recognized as a pioneering structure, it played a pivotal role in shaping the grandeur of motor racing as we know it today.
Construction of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza commenced on May 15, 1922, and the circuit was inaugurated on September 3 of the same year, promptly hosting its inaugural event, the second Italian Grand Prix, a week later on September 10. Designed by architect Alfredo Rosselli, Monza was the third circuit specially constructed for motor racing globally, following the precedent set by Brooklands in the United Kingdom and Indianapolis in the United States. This made it the first of its kind in continental Europe. The original complex featured a 5.5 km road course and a 4.5 km high-speed oval, which combined to form a 10 km track that encapsulated challenging racing elements for its time.
Over the years, Monza has undergone several renovations to enhance driver and spectator safety while maintaining its high-speed character. Notable alterations occurred after a tragic accident in 1928 prompted a reevaluation of track safety. This resulted in the Grand Prix races being confined to just the circuit’s high-speed section until modifications were made in the 1930s. In more recent times, the infrastructure has been modernized to meet FIA Grade 1 standards, without compromising the track’s essential characteristics such as the Curva Grande, Curva di Lesmo, Variante Ascari, and Curva Alboreto. Despite facing criticism over its runoff areas, Monza continues to hold its place as a legendary venue in the world of Formula One and motorsport history.
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is renowned for its unique track layout characterized by high speeds and historic significance. The track is also noted for key turns that challenge even the most skilled drivers.
The Monza Circuit is a 5.793 km (3.600 mi) long track that hosts Formula 1 races. It runs clockwise and has a combination of high-speed straights and challenging corners , which have led to the circuit being recognized for the high speeds attained by racing cars. The circuit’s coordinates are 45°37′14″N 9°17′22″E, placing it near the city of Monza, north of Milan, Italy.
Two of Monza’s most significant and iconic turns include the Parabolica and Variante Ascari.
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, with its long straights and fast corners, creates a unique aerodynamic challenge for teams, while also presenting numerous overtaking opportunities. Here, the focus is on the intricacies of vehicle performance that are critical in races at Monza.
The circuit’s layout demands low-drag aerodynamic setups for the cars. Teams will typically run lower levels of downforce compared to other circuits, favoring straight-line speed, which is crucial for the long straights. The famed Curva Parabolica , a high-speed corner leading onto the start/finish straight, however, requires a balance as it necessitates enough downforce for stability and speed through the corner.
Monza is known for its overtaking zones, most notably into the Variante del Rettifilo and the Variante della Roggia . Cars often slipstream (“motori” in Italian, referring to the engines) down the straights to gain speed and position themselves for an overtake into these chicanes. Due to the high-speed nature of the circuit, managing motori power and braking efficiently is key to executing successful overtakes.
The coordinates of the track are approximately 45°37’06” N latitude and 9°16’54” E longitude, situating the Monza circuit within a unique geographical and climatic setting which can also affect the technical aspects such as tire wear and engine cooling.
Autodromo Nazionale Monza is renowned for hosting prestigious motorsport events, headlined by the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix.
The Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix , also known as Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia , is a flagship event at Monza. As one of the longest-running races on the F1 calendar , it is a crucial fixture in the world championship series. Race enthusiasts from around the globe converge at Monza to witness high-speed contests on a track known for its dynamic straights and challenging chicanes.
Aside from F1, Monza is a stage for diverse racing series. It hosts the 1000 Km Monza , a storied endurance race that tests both car durability and driver stamina. The circuit is also on the calendar for the World Touring Car Championship ( WTCC ) where touring car drivers showcase their skills. In the realm of superbikes, the Superbike World Championship ( SBK ) thrills spectators with high-adrenaline motorcycle races. These events underscore Monza’s multifaceted role in the motorsport world.
Established in 1922, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza is steeped in motorsport history , hosting its inaugural Grand Prix just days after opening. It has since been a perennial fixture on the Formula 1 calendar and is recognized for producing some of the highest speeds in racing due to its long straights and fast corners. The circuit, referred to as “La Pista Magica,” sees cars at full throttle for the majority of the lap, emphasizing both speed and technical precision.
Fastest Lap Record: In 2004, during a practice session, the circuit witnessed the Formula 1’s fastest recorded lap at an average speed of 260.6 km/h by Juan Pablo Montoya.
Rubens Barrichello’s Highlights: Rubens Barrichello left his mark at Monza with multiple podium finishes throughout his career, exhibiting the kind of determination and skill that Monza invites.
Monza Podiums: Monza’s podium is a place of dreams for drivers. The Variante del Rettifilo grandstand often witnesses cars decelerating dramatically from around 350 km/h to 70 km/h, creating opportunities for breathtaking overtaking maneuvers and challenging competitors.
