Monza is the home of the tifosi and venue for the Italian Grand Prix. The track has staged more Grand Prix races than any other venue, having missed only one appearance on the F1 calendar since 1950.

The modern-day Monza circuit is a true classic. Fast sweeping corners and neat lengthy straights have featured some amazing racing over the years. Safety concerns have tightened a few corners, however leaving it to still be considered as one of the fastest circuits for racing.

The list of past winners is very impressive indeed, with almost all Formula 1 greats having registered victories here.

Michael Schumacher registered his fourth win at Monza in 2006 and leads a list of names such as Fangio, Moss, Peterson, Piquet and Prost; who have each registered three victories at the circuit.

Barrichello (with two wins) and Coulthard are the only two current drivers to have won a race at Monza.
