**Presented by** [**Apple TV**](https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.241000?itscg=30200&itsct=therace%5Fformula%5F1&at=1010l3dvX&ref=the-race.com)

Formula 1**®** heads to one of its most evocative venues next - the legendary Monza, home of the Italian Grand Prix and the ultra-passionate Ferrari fanbase.

The high-speed circuit's characteristics are unlike anything else on the calendar, and will be an even more distinctive challenge with the nature of the 2026 F1 cars.

There's a home driver leading the championship in the shape of Kimi Antonelli, who already knows he'll be starting right at the back due to engine penalties, but is expected to surge through the field.

Even with the prospect of the first Italian champion driver in over 70 years, the Monza crowd's main focus will be Ferrari - at the race it wants to win more than any other.

Below you'll find the all-important session times for the weekend, as well as all the information on where to watch the action on [Apple TV](https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.241000?itscg=30200&itsct=therace%5Fformula%5F1&at=1010l3dvX&ref=the-race.com).
