Formula One makes its next European stop this campaign for the Italian Grand Prix at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza.

The Monza circuit, located in a royal park north of Milan, is a relatively simple design that allows for extremely high speeds. It is also located just 200 kilometres from Ferrari headquarters in Maranello and is always packed full of Tifosi—the devoted fans of the Italian manufacturer.

Unlike Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps or the German circuits of Hockenheim and the Nurburgring, Autodromo Nazionale Monza has kept much of its original layout.

The high-speed, banked oval is no longer part of the Italian circuit, but the rest of the current circuit is very similar to the original, with three chicanes added to slow the cars (slightly). The oval used to be combined with the road circuit to form a 10-kilometre track, but it was eventually deemed too dangerous and fell out of use after the 1961 Italian Grand Prix.

The current Monza layout, except the chicanes, has been used since 1957 (although the oval returned for the 1960 and 1961 F1 events).

One of Monza’s most popular sections is the demanding Parabolica, the final turn of the circuit. It was always a challenge for drivers to carry enough speed through the corner so they would not lose time on the start-finish straight without running wide onto the grass strip or gravel trap beyond.

Monza has seen the second-most champions crowned of any track, though Jody Scheckter was the last champion to be crowned here, all the way back in 1979. In total, there have been eleven Drivers’ Title-deciding races at the circuit.

The winner of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza has gone on to win the title in the same season just 26 times. This has happened in all of the last six seasons.
