How to watch Italian Grand Prix Formula 1 live stream

The 2020 Formula 1 season continues and this weekend teams and drivers will head to Ferrari’s home turf for the Italian Grand Prix where they’ll race at the fastest circuit this season which is universally known as the “Temple of Speed”.

The Italian Grand Prix is the 8th round in the F1 2020 Calendar and this weekend’s race will be held at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. The historic race track was built in 1922 and this will be the 91st edition of the Italian Grand Prix. The Monza circuit has 11 turns, a circuit length of 3.6 miles and drivers will complete 53 laps before finishing the 190 mile race. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc won the Italian Grand Prix last year with a time of one hour and 19 minutes.

Monza is an iconic circuit due to the fact that it is the fastest on Formula 1’s calendar and features long straights with only six braking points. According to Brembo, which is one of the two official brake suppliers for Formula 1, Monza is one of the most demanding circuits for brakes. On a difficult index scale of 1 to 5, the circuit earned a 4 just like the Spa which held last weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.

When it comes to the standings going into the eight race of this year’s F1 season, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton still holds the top spot with 157 points, 5 wins and 6 podiums with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen just behind him with 110 points, 1 win and 6 podiums. However, there has been a bit of shakeup in the constructor standings as Racing Point fell to fourth place while McLaren took third place after last weekend’s Grand Prix. Mercedes still holds the top spot overall though, followed by Red Bull in second place.

At last weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton took first place for the second race in a row while Valtteri Bottas managed to overtake Max Verstappen to finish second. Will Hamilton be able to continue his winning streak at Monza or will the Temple of Speed prove too fast for him?
