Welcome to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza — AKA the "Temple of Speed," located in the royal park of Monza, just north of Milan, and host to the Italian Grand Prix.
Monza is the fastest circuit in Formula 1, where long straights, high-speed corners, and a minimal downforce setup combine to make a true test of power.
It is one of the sport's heritage tracks with a spot in the inaugural 1950 World Championship, and its rich history stretches even further back to 1922 as the world's third purpose-built circuit.
Circuit Overview:
Today's Monza circuit measures 5.793 km (3.600 miles) and has 11 turns, beginning with the heaviest braking zone at the Rettifilo chicane that slows the field down for the flat-out, sweeping Curva Grande.
Sector 2 demands precision through the Roggia chicane and Lesmo corners as the track blasts down to Sector 3's high-speed Variante Ascari
A lap of Monza culminates with the iconic Parabolica, leading onto the main straight where a quick exit to maximise slipstreaming opportunities is key to advancing through the order or defending from those behind.

JAMES and FRANCO
JAMES: Franco, that is a fantastic first race. You really didn't put a foot wrong.
JAMES: You finished a few seconds behind Alex. You had pace in qualifying. If we keep it clean, you're there and you're able to fight.
JAMES: Well done. This is your first race and I can't wait to see how we build together.
FRANCO: Thank you, James. Thank you for this opportunity. I really enjoyed it. I really, really enjoyed this weekend.

JAMES and ALEX
JAMES: Alex, well done. You have no idea how tense that was to be on the last few laps.
JAMES: Well managed. We were about a second away from dropping a couple there, but P9 is just a reward for a strong drive. Well done.
ALEX: Well done everyone, that was well managed.
ALEX: That was a different kind of race than last year, but it's still as intense.
