Monza hosts Italian Grand Prix at historic Formula 1 venue

The Italian Grand Prix takes place this weekend at the Monza circuit. As the site of more Formula 1 races than any other venue, Monza has hosted events during every season since 1950, with the sole exception of 1980. The track is situated in a royal park and is frequently referred to as the cathedral of speed. It serves as the spiritual home for Ferrari and its supporters. Historical highlights at the venue include the 1950 inaugural championship and recent performances, such as the fastest qualifying lap in Formula 1 history set by Max Verstappen last year. The circuit has been the setting for numerous championship-deciding races throughout the sport's history, as well as several moments of significant controversy and tragedy.
