No race compares to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza for Ferrari enthusiasts. The Autodromo Nazionale di Monza is more than just a racetrack; it is the symbolic home of the tifosi, the most devoted and well-known Formula 1 fan base.

Selecting the appropriate grandstand is crucial if you want to feel the full impact of Ferrari support, including the flags, chants, emotion, and atmosphere. There are quiet, laid-back areas. From Friday morning until the podium ceremony on Sunday, others are a sea of red, brimming with passion for Ferrari.

This comprehensive guide will show you where to sit at Monza to get the most out of your Ferrari experience.

The heart of the tifosi: Grandstand 1 (Centrale)

If there is one place that defines Ferrari fandom at Monza, it’s Grandstand 1, located on the main straight directly opposite the grid.

Why it’s the best for Ferrari atmosphere

  • This is where the most committed tifosi gather
  • The entire grandstand often fills with giant Ferrari flags
  • You experience the build-up to lights-out surrounded by Ferrari fans
  • You are directly across from the pit lane, giving you a view of Ferrari’s garage
  • Electric energy during introductions, national anthem, and the race start

Multiple fan guides confirm this is the core Ferrari grandstand. As one travel guide puts it:

“If you’re after the true Tifosi experience, the Ferrari fans are concentrated in Grandstand 1.”

For first-timers or lifelong Ferrari supporters alike, this is the most emotionally charged place to be.

The iconic Ferrari section: Grandstand 26 (Tribuna Laterale Destra)

Often considered the second home of the tifosi, Grandstand 26 sits along the main straight just past the start line and close to the podium.

Sections 26A, 26B and 26C are known for being deeply Ferrari-centric, with 26C often highlighted as the most intense.

Why fans love Grandstand 26

  • Direct view toward the podium — vital for the post-race celebrations
  • Packed with Ferrari flags and chants all weekend
  • Great visibility of the start, finish, pit exit and celebrations
  • Grandstand 26 is often covered, providing shelter from sun and rain
  • It’s where many long-time tifosi traditionally sit

A fan on Reddit described 26C perfectly:

“It’s where the tifosi sit and where the giant Ferrari flags drape over the crowd before the race.”

If you want the perfect mix of passion, podium atmosphere and comfort, Grandstand 26 is an exceptional option.

Alternative fan-favourite areas with strong Ferrari presence

Grandstand 4 & 5 (near Curva Grande)

These stands sit just after Turn 1 and Turn 2 — the perfect place to witness the chaos and overtakes that often define the Italian Grand Prix.

While not exclusively Ferrari seating, these stands feature a strong red-and-yellow presence and have excellent on-track action.

Grandstand 24 (Centrale Laterale)

Located centrally on the pit straight with a great view of the cars approaching full speed. Not as wild as 26, but still rich with Ferrari colours and chants.

General Admission spectator banks

Some GA areas, especially near Curva Grande and the run toward Lesmo, naturally attract large groups of Ferrari fans.
Atmosphere is strong, but less organized than the dedicated grandstands.

Where not to sit if you want maximum Ferrari atmosphere

While Monza is filled with tifosi everywhere, some areas have less concentrated Ferrari support:

  • Ascari grandstands: Great racing views, but atmosphere is more mixed
  • First chicane (Grandstands 6 & 8): Excellent overtaking zone, but this is more action-focused than Ferrari-focused
  • Biassono and Lesmo: Scenic and exciting, but not pure “Ferrari energy” zones

These are fantastic choices for pure racing — but not if you want the emotional punch of the tifosi.

Tips for enjoying the Ferrari atmosphere at Monza

Arrive early

Tifosi fill the grandstands early each day, especially on Sunday. Arriving early means soaking in the flags, drumming, chanting and pre-race rituals.

Bring something red

Even neutral fans often join in. A red shirt or cap will help you blend right in.

Stay for the podium

One of the best podium ceremonies in Formula 1 is held at Monza.

In a fabled "track invasion," fans swarm the track and congregate under the podium. You can get the best post-race view and the easiest access by sitting in Grandstand 1 or 26.

Expect intense emotion

Win or lose, Ferrari fans bring unmatched passion. It’s loud, chaotic and unforgettable — exactly what Monza is famous for.

Final thoughts

If your goal is to experience the real Ferrari atmosphere, Monza offers something no other race can match.
For full tifosi energy, choose:

  • Grandstand 1 (Centrale) — the emotional epicentre
  • Grandstand 26 (Laterale Destra A/B/C) — the loudest Ferrari block with podium views

These stands deliver the complete Ferrari experience: flags, chants, adrenaline, tradition and sheer passion.

For Ferrari fans, attending Monza isn’t just watching a race — it’s stepping into the heart of Formula 1 history.
