Italian Grand Prix

After the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, Monza will host the thirteenth round of the Formula 1 World Championship season, bringing it to one of its most historic venues. The Italian Grand Prix has been part of every season since 1950, and Monza has hosted all but one edition.

Monza, known as the Temple of Speed, remains Formula 1’s ultimate low-downforce test. Its long straightaways, hard braking zones, and famous turns, such as the Lesmos, the Ascari chicane, and the Alboreto curve, require maximum efficiency, top speed, and stable braking. The race covers 53 laps of the 5.793-kilometer circuit, making it one of the fastest weekends of the season.

In 2026, Monza will no longer close the European leg. After Italy, Formula 1 remains in Europe for one final race, as Madrid will host the Spanish Grand Prix for the first time. Then, the championship enters its global flyaway phase, beginning in Azerbaijan and continuing through Asia, the Americas, and concluding with a finale in the Middle East.

Logistics remain central to this transition. Across Europe, DHL’s biofuel-powered trucks transport cars, equipment, and infrastructure by road. As the season prepares to leave Europe, DHL coordinates multimodal transport by road, air, and sea, moving up to 1,200 tons of freight per race and supporting the shared sustainability goals of Formula 1 and DHL.
