What’s on at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix

From September 5-7, Formula 1 returns to the Temple of Speed for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. Few circuits carry the same weight of history as Monza, where long straights and iconic corners set the stage for pure high-speed drama.

The experience goes far beyond the racing. All weekend long, the grandstands will be alive with the chants and colours of the Tifosi, while the Fanzone and live stage host music, driver appearances, interactive displays, and a range of merchandise at the track. Food and drink stalls keep fans fuelled, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the atmosphere of Monza Park.

Whether it’s your first time making the pilgrimage or you’re back for another year, the Italian Grand Prix promises a weekend of racing and passion that only Monza, and its Tifosi, can deliver.
