The Italian Grand Prix will continue to be staged at the Monza circuit in the coming years. Formula 1 announced this Wednesday that the circuit had reached an agreement on a new contract that runs until the 2031 season.
The CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, is happy with the Monza contract extension. He said, "I am delighted that the Italian Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until 2031. Monza is the heart of Formula 1 history, and the atmosphere is unique every year as the Tifosi gather in large numbers to cheer on Ferrari and its drivers. The track improvements and investments show a strong commitment to the long-term future of Formula 1 in Italy. I would also like to pay tribute to our incredible fans across the country who support Formula 1 so passionately".
“It's a great honour for us, the Automobile Club of Italy (ACI), to have succeeded in guaranteeing the hosting of six more Italian Grand Prix F1 seasons at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza after 2025. We must thank the valuable and decisive contribution of the current President and CEO of Formula 1 Group, Stefano Domenicali, who made this contract extension possible. Much as we should, certainly, thank the Italian Government, the Lombardy Region, and all the local institutions that have allowed the Italian Grand Prix to attract, during the last editions, an ever-increasing number of enthusiastic fans."
Formula 1 is growing enormously in Italy. Italian followers grew by at least 16% after the last edition in Monza. In the 2024 edition, more than 335,000 fans were present at the Italian circuit. The Grand Prix in Monza is on the 2025 calendar for the first weekend in September, the 5th-7th.
