Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Italian Grand Prix

Speeds, gears and braking points below come from Pierre Gasly‘s 1:21.786 pole lap in 2026 qualifying. He peaked at 342 km/h on the main straight, and his longest flat-out run lasted 1,274m and 15.2 seconds, from the exit of Curva Alboreto to the Turn 1 braking point. The slowest point was 71 km/h in first gear at the Variante del Rettifilo.

Ferrari has won the Italian Grand Prix 20 times, more than any other team, but the circuit has changed around it since 1922, mostly through chicanes added to slow the cars down.

Monza's hosting fee has never been published. The circuit was built in 1922 for an estimated 6m lire, and its biggest recent upgrade was a €21m ($23.9m) modernization finished before the 2024 race, paid for by the Automobile Club d'Italia with support from the Italian government and Lombardy. A 2025 decree law adds €5m ($5.7m) a year of state money for 2026-2032 toward staging Italy's Grands Prix, and the current deal runs to 2031.

About 6m lire, by the circuit's own estimate. The Automobile Club of Milan set up the company SIAS to build and run the track, and 3,500 workers finished it in 110 days in 1922, after the plan was cut from 14km to 10km. A later modernization in 1994-1995 cost about 5.5bn lire. The latest program took 140 days before the 2024 race and cost €21m ($23.9m) for new asphalt, rebuilt curbs, new drainage, three rebuilt underpasses and a new one from Porta Vedano to the Parabolica. At the launch of the works, Lombardy's president Attilio Fontana said the region had backed ACI with €32m ($36.4m) of its own money and €25m ($28.5m) passed down from the state.

Neither F1 nor the Automobile Club d'Italia has published it, and the figure wasn't disclosed when the six-year extension to 2031 was announced in November 2024. We haven't found a reliable estimate. ACI promotes the race through Autodromo Nazionale Monza SIAS, which it owns 90% of, with Automobile Club Milano holding the other 10%. Public money helps. A May 2025 infrastructure decree law sets aside €5m ($5.7m) a year for 2026-2032 to organize Italy's F1 rounds, and with Imola off the calendar it goes toward Monza in practice. It's a contribution to staging the race and shouldn't be read as the fee itself.

A three-day Prato general admission ticket costs €126 ($144) at 2027 prices. Grandstands start at €219 ($250) in Stands GF, 25 and 32, with GF inside Curva Alboreto, and the most expensive regular stands, 6C, 9, 10 and 26A at both chicanes and on the main straight, cost €1,158 ($1,320). Stand 1 Centrale opposite the podium tops the list at €1,614 ($1,840), and hospitality starts at a reported €4,450 ($5,074) in the Champions Club. That makes Monza the third cheapest of the 23 races in our ticket price table.
