The <\/iframe>“>Italian Grand Prix<\/a> has plenty to live up to. Last year’s race delivered one of the most dramatic races in recent memory. The biggest shame was the fact there were no fans in the grandstands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that all changes in 2021. Formula 1 is in a fantastic place, with the title race as close as it’s ever been between two fierce competitors. As the season comes to the fastest track on the calendar, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton will be vying for victory at this historic circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race is going ahead with a 75% capacity crowd, so to make sure you’re on top of all the action, including circuit maps<\/a>, session times<\/a>, support series<\/a>, weather forecast<\/a> and the latest news<\/a> from the weekend, check out this guide with all the information you’ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important information for fans attending the race<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Accessing the Monza circuit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To access the circuit before the race, you will need a ‘Green Pass’ certification. This is the Italian version of the EU Digital Covid Certificate – if you are travelling from the UK, your NHS Covid Pass will be accepted. Green Passes prove that a person has been double-vaccinated over two weeks ago, had a negative PCR test within the last 48 hours, or have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 180 days. This is necessary for all spectators aged 12 or over. If you cannot provide proof of immunity from COVID-19 at the circuit, you will not be granted entry and will not qualify for any refund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also mandatory to register your ticket once you receive it. <\/strong>Click this link<\/a> where you will be asked for a Card and Progressive number. You can then register the ticket to your name and ‘check-in’ to the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing a mask is also necessary at the circuit, so ensure you take one to the circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelling to Italy from the UK<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are a few things you will have to do before you travel to Italy from the race. However, Britons will no longer be required to quarantine<\/a> for 5 days when they arrive in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have to complete the Passenger Locator Form<\/a>, and take a COVID-19 PCR test in the two days before you travel to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
