One of the grand old ladies of F1 it first opened it’s doors back in 1922 and is one of the few tracks that has been in continual use. The Italian Grand Prix came here from Brescia that year and it was won by Pietro Bordino driving a Fiat.

Monza’s parkland setting can only be described as magnificent the track benefits from an annual bit of plastic surgery as befitting a grand old dame. The gravel traps have been replaced with tarmac. What makes this track so special, well you blast off from the grid and you get your speed going just nicely then comes a nice chicane just to prove that 22 into one doesn’t really go after that you can pick your corners and you have intrique and excitement watch the drivers as they accelerate out of Variante Ascari. But that final corner the Parabolica should be renamed the diabolica. This circuit plays havoc on engines.
