ITALIAN FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX

Excellent value for money. Stunning location. Good close viewing of track. Public transport well organised and extremely value for money - shuttle buses from station were frequent and free!

We purchased the general admision tickets afer I had looked at the map of the circuit, I thought there would be plenty of viewing of the TV's around the circuit. This was not the case and I would suggest that when general admision tickets are purchased then you shoul make it clear that it is not always possible to view TV screens on this ticket. If I had know this I would probably have saved up some more dosh and bought a better ticket.

I very much missed Lewis as I was so very much looking forward to seeing him race!! but it was brill to see Jenson lead the race for so long.

Thank you for this opportunity.

It was my 1st time to Monza and purchased a General Admission ticket for Sunday only. We were staying in Lecco on Lake Como, and its an easy 30 min train to Monza station. There you take the Black Line free bus to the curcuit (only available on race day). Its then a good 20 mins walk to the circuit enterance. I spent a long time walking around the circuit to the 2nd chicane and watched the race there. If you arrive early enough, then you can get onto the raised viewing area's. Walking onto the circuit with the Tifosi after the race was a memorable experience!

I went to the qualifying as well as the race, and was a little concerned to find there were major roadworks not far from the circuit. I shouldn't have worried as on the race-day the whole thing ran very smoothly. The seats were good, with a good view of the braking zone into the Parabolica, and with a large TV screen right in front of us. If I went back I would definitely take my own food, drink, loo roll and handwash!

Had a great time. General admission ticket, but managed to get a good seat by turning up very early on the Sunday and staying put. Signs are out for the car parks from Thursday before the race, but many of them aren't open until Sunday-so don't believe all the road signs for directions to car parks before Sunday.

We stayed in Milan and found it quite awkward getting to the circuit, especially on practise and qualifying days. We had to get a train to Monza and then a slow bus towards the circuit. The bus stopped in the park and we had to walk a few miles without directions before we actually arrived at the circuit entrance. Race day had a special train service which was good going to the race but there was no information about the return journey. As it turned out there was a good regular return special service.

Our tickets were pretty good, we had a seat with a good view of the track in particular the long straight leading into the parabolic turn. There was a big screen opposite us so we got to see the rest of the race when it was not in front of us.

It would have been handy if there were details of exactly where our tickets gave us access to. It would have been great to walk around the entire ground but with all the security we were unsure where we were allowed to go.

The food and drink was very expensive, would recommend taking your own. 25 euro for two panini and two 7up is nuts!

All in all, we had a great weekend not just with the F1 but all the other races too. Was a good weekend of entertainment.

Any fan with an interest in F1history has to go to Monza. 60 odd drivers, bike racers, spectators and marshals have been killed here since 1922 - Alberto Ascari, Jochen Rindt (the only posthumous world champion) and Ronnie Peterson to name just three. To walk away from the modern track through the trees to a section of the old banking is really spooky, and at the end of the race you can join the tifosi and walk around Parabolica.

I found access really easy - drove down from Bellagio on Lake Como, parked in the park-and-ride area just off the Milan/Lecco road (20 Euros) about 4 miles from the track, shuttle bus in, 5 minutes walk in. 1.5 hours to get from Bellagio 40 miles away to the track). At the end of the race I only had to wait 15min for a shuttle bus back to the park and ride, then about 15 min queue to get back on the main road.
Catering on circuit was pretty good - paninis, hot dogs, croissants and decent coffee, and not rip-off prices. Toilets were no better or worse than at most other outdoor events.
I had a GA ticket and walked around the track from Parabolica up past Ascari as far as the 1st chicane. I found the best place to get a sense of the speed and sound of F1 cars was the inside of Curva Grande (Biassono), where you can get to 20-30ft from the track. If you want to take photos in GA the view is spoiled around most of the track by chainlink fencing and concrete posts, but I found you can get some good shots over the top of the fencing from next to the bridge just before Ascari.
If you want to walk from one corner to another it is very easy to get lost in the trees - there are lots of little paths curving through the undergrowth. A compass wouldn't be a bad idea.
All-in-all a great day, and I'll be back (once I've done all the rest of the European GPs at least once!)

General Admission tickets, arrived on Thursday night. Fantastic track, very flat so get there early for a general admission standing stand. Great natural track setting, trees so lots of shade.

Camped in the GP Village which was full by Saturday lunchtime, facilities were limited (portaloos) but they were cleaned daily.
A taxi from Monza train station costs about EUR25 to the GP vilage. there is a free well organised train to and from the track on race day.

Overall a fantastic weekend, do it!

My first GP and it was fantatic!!! Though could of done with a Webber win, though was pleased with the result! Race weekend was fabulous, very well organised and easy to get around, even with a 14 month old! Great track even it you only get general admission as lots of opportunities to sit.

Better info on transport needed. Got to monza on day 1 (pit walk) to find directions were wrong (wrong bus numbers and worng side of station to get bus). No extra buses were laid on locally so travel from Monza station to circuit was a nightmare and local bus drivers not particularly helpful. Followed signs back in evening and took over 1 hour to get back station.

Best way to get there is take train to Biassomo-lesmo and walk only 50m to lesmo entrance. OK trains are only once an hour but it is far easier than going to Monza station.

Great event, good info, enjoyed myself.

We refer to it as "Messy Monza" - total confusion with signage on the roads (which changed on a daily basis) - no-one knew much about anything, e.g. where the toilets were, how to find merchandise - which was also very disappointing with nowhere near the choice we expected. The toilet facilities went from bad to worse over the 3 days and in the end were just disgusting. The food and beverage facilities were overpriced and tasteless. Parking was a nightmare and our advice would be that if you can afford it, go by helicopter!!
The race however, is definitely worth all the hassle, our seats in Alta Velocita C we would say are among the best, not only for the F1 but all the other races, to see the cars all reach that bend was just amazing. For atmosphere too, it was great, we were fortunate to be near to some very passionate Ferrari fans who made the experience evn more enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to go just research where to stay and access to the circuit, take along plenty of tissues and wetones for your own hygiene and mosquito spray, then enjoy a spectacular race. Thanks bookF1 - for your efficiency in sneding out our tickets for Monza and Hockenheim, we'll be using you again very soon.

The weekend and the race were great, I shall return every year. The food and the toilets should be better on the circuit.

circuit access saturday and sunday for the park and ride was excellent. toilet facilities very poor as in not enough and very dirty. i would recomend having grandstand tickets rather than general admission as views of track and race were not as expected with areas being closed off sunday that had been available on saturday. pit walk was brilliant but was busy.

I'm F1 fan since 1995, but I've never been to any race before. And I liked it grately!!! Emotions are great!!! Italy, Monza, Ferrari!!!! :) My recommendation - at least once a year you should visit F1 racing weekend!

The tickets were great, the facilities were great, the pit walk was awesome and then we had a Ferrari escort on top of that, so our dreams came true and we will be doing this again!!!

We will be in touch to do this again!!! We will probably upgrade a bit for more events but this was amazing!!! You guys rock!!!

spectator facilities were nothing like Silverstone, particularly the toilletes. also, kangaroo TV was not actually available at the circuit without an advance booking. we would highly recommend renting one as it will be a lot easier to follow practice and qualifying.

the location of the circuit is really good and transport facilities from the centre of Milan excellent.

Great train and bus services to the autodromo but getting around the course was difficult due to lack of appropriate signage around the circuit. Very complicated to make your way around as there were very few maps telling you where you were etc.
