Italian Grand Prix at Monza: to be held in sprint format for three years from 2027

From 4–6 September 2026, the traditional Italian Grand Prix weekend will take place in the Royal Park of Monza, on the oldest of all Formula 1 circuits (built in 1922).

ACI chief Geronimo La Russa has confirmed that, from 2027 and for three years, the Monza event will once again take place in the Sprint format! “We have reached an agreement to this effect.” A Sprint race was already held at Monza in 2021, won by then-Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas.

La Russa has explained that the race day for the 2026 Grand Prix is already sold out. “For this reason, we will be erecting an additional grandstand. Tickets for this will go on sale in the coming weeks.”

Ferrari are in good form (two wins from the last three World Championship races), which is a further boost for the popular race in northern Italy. La Russa: “We received even more ticket bookings on Monday following Charles Leclerc’s victory in England.”
