Overview
The Italian Grand Prix is one of Formula 1's most historic events, held annually at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza since 1950. Known as the 'Temple of Speed,' Monza's high-speed circuit is synonymous with flat-out throttle driving and iconic moments like the Tifosi's passionate support. Ferrari calls Monza home, and the Prancing Horse has claimed victory here multiple times, including recent wins by Charles Leclerc in 2022 and 2023. The 2025 race is scheduled for September 7, continuing its legacy as the final European stop on the F1 calendar before the Asian swing.
