Monza is the fastest circuit on the calendar, with drivers spending a substantial part of the lap on full throttle. Three chicanes, including two at the start of the lap, provide plenty of opportunities for overtaking.
Teams bring low-downforce configuration wings to Italy to make the most of the circuit's long straights.
Monza also sees the result of F1's sprint qualifying race, which made its debut at Silverstone in July as part of an on-going trial to determine whether it should be introduced at more grands prix next year.
As part of the format, the classic three-part qualifying shootout takes places on Friday, which determines the grid for the sprint race on Saturday.
The results of the sprint race forms the starting order for the grand prix on Sunday.
Max Verstappen won the previous F1 Sprint during the Italian Grand Prix weekend, but was eliminated from the main race following an opening lap clash with Lewis Hamilton.
