Monza has hosted a grand prix since the inaugural world championship in 1950.

“Monza is at the very heart of Formula 1 history,” F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).

“The atmosphere each year is unique as the tifosi (fans) gather in huge numbers to cheer on Ferrari and the drivers.

“The recent upgrades to the circuit’s infrastructure and the planned investment show a strong commitment to the long-term future of Formula 1 in Italy.”

Charles Leclerc secured Ferrari a rare win at Monza on September 1.

Next year’s edition is scheduled for September 5-7.
