Charles Leclerc claimed victory in an action-packed 2024 Italian Grand Prix, in which Ferrari successfully pulled off a one-stop strategy while their rivals made two pit stops. The Scuderia claimed a 20th victory at the historic Monza track, becoming the first team to secure 20 wins at a single circuit.
Attendance at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix weekend increased by over 30,000 compared to last year, when 304,134 fans passed through the circuit gates. Although Angelo Sticchi Damiani, President of the Automobile Club of Italy, says that the 2024 attendance figure is a new record, attendance at the 2022 Monza race was a reported 336,647 – almost 2,000 more than the reported figure in 2024.
The Italian Grand Prix ranks as the fifth best-attended race weekend of the 2024 season to date, behind the British, Australian, Belgian and Canadian Grands Prix. Last year’s Monza race ranked as the ninth best-attended of the 2023 season. It is currently on course to rank as the seventh-best-attended race this year, with the United States and Mexico City Grands Prix attendance figures expected to exceed the total at Monza.
Total confirmed attendance at Formula 1 race weekends in 2024 has now surpassed 4 million. 6.15 million attended in total across the 21 races held in 2023. With eight races left to run in 2024, this year’s total attendance should comfortably exceed the 2023 figure.
Reasons to Celebrate for Italian Fans at 2024 Italian Grand Prix
Aside from Ferrari’s win at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, there were more reasons to celebrate for local fans over the weekend. Italian Formula 2 driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli was confirmed as George Russell’s partner at Mercedes in 2025, replacing Lewis Hamilton. Having made his Formula 1 weekend debut in Free Practice 1, Antonelli will become the first Italian driver to race in F1 since Antonio Giovinazzi in 2021.
Elsewhere, Leonardo Fornaroli clinched the Formula 3 title in a dramatic championship showdown, taking the honours on the final lap of the final race of the season. Fornaroli won the title despite not winning a race all season.
2025 Italian Grand Prix Tickets
This was the first race on a freshly resurfaced Monza track. The resurfacing is part of a €21 million renovation scheme – the first major renovations at the historic track since 1980. The renovations have been undertaken as part of a bid to secure the circuit’s long-term future on the Formula 1 calendar.
2025 is the final year of the current agreement between race organisers and Formula 1, meaning a new contract needs to be signed for Monza to remain on the schedule in 2026. It is the same case for Italy’s other circuit, Imola, which is host of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Tickets for the 2025 editions of both the Monza and Imola races are set to go on sale imminently, with tickets available from Tuesday September 3 – the earliest date on which ticket sales for the following year’s Italian race have gone on sale.
