The Italian Grand Prix could become one of the most unpredictable races of the 2026 World Championship. With the new F1 cars expected to be lighter and less reliant on aerodynamics, Monza is seen as one of the tracks where the field could close up the most.
Analysts believe the result could be a race with a more “MotoGP-like” feel: slipstreams, late braking and wheel-to-wheel fights right to the chequered flag. For Italian fans, it could deliver the kind of spectacle long missed in races often dominated by clean-air pace.
