The Italian Grand Prix is steeped in history, as it has been part of the F1 World Championship line-up since the beginning.
The Italian Grand Prix has been held at the legendary Monza track for every year, except one, in 1980, when it was hosted at the Imola track. This means that the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza is second only to the British Grand Prix for its longevity in hosting F1 Grand Prix.
As with many of its European counterparts, Italy has a long motor racing history and that history is inextricably linked with the famous Monza racing track, created in 1922.
