FAST IS ONLY HALF THE JOB.

MONZAAutodromo Nazionale Monza

Monza gives you the speed. The chicanes ask what you plan to do with it. The difference is usually in the braking and the exit.

A CENTURY OF SPEED

1950

Monza opened in 1922 and was part of the first world championship season in 1950.

Race lap records and qualifying laps are different measures. Facts checked 2026-11-04. Official F1 circuit facts. Qualifying benchmark source · Opening dates refer to the venue’s origins; layouts may have changed.

02 / THE LAP

Where the lap is won. And lost.

01

RETTIFILO

Get the stop right.

The long pit straight ends in a tight chicane. This is one of the obvious places for a late-braking challenge.

02

THE PARK SECTION

Build the next run.

Fast stretches link the braking zones through the park. Exits matter when the next straight is so valuable.

03

CURVA ALBORETO

Bring the lap home.

The final bend feeds the start-finish straight. Look beyond the corner to the speed carried afterwards.

03 / THE WEEKEND

Monza, on your clock.
