Monza hosts the 77th Italian Grand Prix at the Autodromo Nazionale

Summary

The 77th edition of the Italian Grand Prix arrives at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza this weekend. Drivers will face a 5.793-kilometre track featuring 11 corners and long straights, with simulation data projecting lap times approximately two seconds faster than in 2025. Pirelli has selected the C3, C4, and C5 tyre compounds for the event, with teams expected to favor a one-stop strategy. Structural updates to the circuit include rebuilt kerbs at Turns 1, 4, and 8, as well as the conversion of the Turn 5 gravel trap into an asphalt run-off area. Kimi Antonelli is set to begin his home race from the back of the grid due to a power unit penalty. The event features the presentation of the FRAGILE trophy, a commissioned work by the artist duo vedovamazzei, to the top three finishers.
