Monza’s Temple of Speed, nestled in the dense woodland of a royal park, is the home of Italian motorsport and a place where Ferrari’s faithful – the Tifosi – come to pay homage to the racing team whom they worship.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton knows what this place means to Italy, having made 18 Grand Prix appearances here, but he’s about to experience it in a very different way at the 19th time of asking.
This time, he’ll be dressed in red, Ferrari red, and he will be one of two drivers who Italy will want to win. The Briton knows a little of what it feels like already, having received the adoration of the Ferrari fans at Imola earlier this year for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, but Monza is another level.
