Background

The event will be held at the Monza Circuit in Monza for the 75th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 5–7 September. [2] The Grand Prix will be the sixteenth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship and the 76th running of the Italian Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship. [3]

Championship standings before the race

Going into the weekend, Oscar Piastri leads the Drivers' Championship with 309 points, 34 points ahead of teammate Lando Norris in second and 104 ahead of Max Verstappen in third. McLaren, with 584 points, leads the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and Mercedes, who are second and third with 260 and 248 points, respectively. [4]

Entrants

The drivers and teams are set to be the same as published in the season entry list with two exceptions; Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull Racing will be in the seat originally held by Liam Lawson before the latter was demoted back to Racing Bulls from the Japanese Grand Prix onward, [5] and Franco Colapinto replaced Jack Doohan at Alpine from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix onward until at least the Austrian Grand Prix on a rotating seat basis. [6] Before the race at Spielberg, it was confirmed that Colapinto would retain his seat with the team, effectively on a race-by-race basis. [7]

During the first free practice session, McLaren will field Alex Dunne in place of Oscar Piastri. Dunne has not raced in more than two Grands Prix, as required by the Formula One regulations. [8] [9]

Tyre choices

Tyre supplier Pirelli will bring the C3, C4 and C5 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event. [10]
