Italian Grand Prix 2024 Circuit
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is an iconic track in the world of motorsports. Known as the “Temple of Speed” it’s the oldest and fastest circuit in the F1 championship. The race consists of 53 laps, is 5.793km in length (3.6 miles) and features 11 turns. The drivers are able to go full throttle thanks to the circuit’s long straights and fast corners. The record for the fastest lap was set in 2020 by Lewis Hamilton during qualifying at 1:18.887.
A Brief History of the Italian Grand Prix
The Italian Grand Prix is one of the most anticipated races of the F1 season and is the fifth oldest national Grand Prix. Its inaugural race was held on September 4, 1921, at the Montichiari circuit near Brescia and won by Frenchman Jules Goux. The event moved to its permanent spot in Monza the following year in 1922, with the circuit being completed just one week before the race. It’s one of the oldest purpose-built tracks in the world. Since the Formula 1 Championship was established in 1950, Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the Italian Grand Prix every year with the exception of 1980, which was held at Imola to accommodate renovations at Monza.
