Italian GP track – Monza
Since the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, Monza has featured on the calendar every season apart from 1980.
It is known as ‘The Temple of Speed’ as the cars hit over 200mph on the long straights where raw engine power and low drag is vital, given the rest of the 3.6-mile track is only made up of three chicanes and three other right-hand turns.
The prime overtaking spot is into Turn 1 but the drivers can also makes moves going into the Ascari Chicane at Turn 8.
Michael Schumacher and Hamilton hold the joint-record of five Italian Grand Prix wins.
