Monza memories - Italian GP in pictures through the years

The Italian Grand Prix, held at Monza, is the most historic venue on the Formula 1 calendar. The circuit has hosted the race in all but one year since its inception in 1950, with the 1980 edition being cancelled due to renovations. Known as the "cathedral of speed," Monza is deeply ingrained in F1 history and Italian team devotion.

It was the site of the first world championship in 1950 and where Max Verstappen set the fastest lap in 2020. Throughout the years, Monza has been the backdrop for thrilling finishes, Ferrari dominance, title victories, controversy, and tragedy. The story of F1 has been shaped by its presence.
