Where to watch Kimi Antonelli in 2027: Monza

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza on 5 September 2027 is his home race. Monza is a fast, traditional circuit with passionate crowds, and an Italian driver in a front-running car adds to the intensity.

Our travel guides cover Monza's grandstand options, and the calendar helps you plan around the late-summer European rounds.

Planning a visit to Monza to see Antonelli

Monza is a historic circuit in a park north of Milan, known for long straights, heavy braking and a very loud, committed crowd. Italian fans have a special bond with the race, and a local driver with a place at the front of the grid adds to the mood.

Public transport is often the easiest way to reach the circuit, but plan your return trip too, because crowds leaving at the same time can be large. Walking distances inside the park can be long, so wear comfortable shoes.

If you are making a longer trip, Milan offers a wide range of accommodation, and nearby towns may be calmer. Our guides have more on the area.
