The pinnacle of motorsport returns to European soil for one of its most exciting events. We find ourselves at the penultimate stop of the tour across the continent, returning to a legendary venue where the raw power of the engines is put to the test like nowhere else on the current calendar.
We're talking, of course, about the legendary Monza circuit, a place where the tifosi unleash their full passion and where Ferrari always feels the pressure to perform at its best. It's a weekend where aerodynamic setup will be key, as the teams must find the perfect balance to fly down the straights without losing control under the most aggressive braking zones.
Monza: The Temple of Speed
Opened back in 1922, this circuit has seen it all. From its beginnings with ovals and combined layouts reaching 10 kilometers, to its current configuration of 5,793 meters and just eleven corners . It's a track that has been a fundamental part of the World Championship since 1950, except for 1980 when the action moved to Imola.
What makes Monza so special is its technical demands. In the past, teams would eliminate almost all downforce to gain top speed, turning the chicanes into a real nightmare. Although technology has evolved and aerodynamic downforce isn't sacrificed as much, top speed remains vital . As an example of today's speed, Max Verstappen shattered records in the 2025 edition, surpassing even the era of Michael Schumacher's V10 engines.
