This weekend, Italy shifts into top gear 🇮🇹🏎️
From September 4 to 6, Formula 1 returns to Monza for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, with the race starting at 3 PM local time on Sunday.
Built in 1922, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza was the world’s third purpose built racing circuit. Today, it is known as the Temple of Speed, but Monza is about much more than velocity. It is where Formula 1 meets Italian identity.
The grandstands turn red, the Tifosi become louder than the engines and two teams rooted in Italy, Ferrari from Maranello and Racing Bulls from Faenza, race on home soil.
And this year, Italy has even more reason to believe. Kimi Antonelli, the only Italian driver on the 2026 grid, arrives at his home Grand Prix as the championship leader, carrying forward a racing legacy shaped by Italian champions such as Giuseppe Farina and Alberto Ascari.
For one weekend, Monza is not just a circuit. It is the beating heart of Italy ❤️🔥
