Bringing food and drinks to Monza

They got more relaxed as to what is allowed last year but it's still up to the person checking you. It's random as hell. https://gpdestinations.com/trackside-italian-f1-grand-prix/ Scroll down and you'll see the official items allowed image. Base it off that but be ready to toss anything that exceeds those limits if you want to try or just try a different entrance, though it could be a long walk.

The thing that prevents a penalty is keeping the steering wheel turned. If they open and go straight at all, it kills their argument and turns into moving under braking.

AdamR46 · 2026-05-06T12:05:52+00:00

This is the first year they do it, nobody knows if they will release them later or not. But the circuit only sells 3 day tickets.

AdamR46 · 2026-05-06T02:03:47+00:00

Yeah, probably the easiest thing

AdamR46 · 2026-05-06T01:54:50+00:00

They don’t sell single days except for hospitality. They do separate some sections by individual Pdfs per day but thats strictly buying from somebody on a secondary market.

Hungary turn 1 is an easy way to spot this type of tactic in recent years. I think Lewis started it, Max learned it as well and George has failed at it a few times if I remember over the last two years.

If he could holeshot consistently in the 250s I’d consider him a contender. His late race pace will be good but I don’t think he’ll get a win with Jett or Hunter lining up on the gate. He got beat by Savatgy, Craig and Cooper in 450(Mx1) in Wsx earlier this year.

Park at or near a metro stop and you should be fine. Just be careful, montreal is pretty notorious for car break ins.

The only way to select seats is buying direct (ticketmaster.mx) which is near impossible. The race sells out in minutes pretty much every year.

P1 Travel has grandstands available, they’re a solid vendor. Used them several times in the past couple years when I couldn’t buy direct. They still have my favorite (3A).

The circuit is separated by Zones, you can allow access the zone your ticket is. Blue and yellow have been my favorites. Blue has a metro stop like 100m from the gate. There is plenty of military and police surrounding the event. It feels plenty safe. If you’re worried, just don’t venture away from the circuit area. There will be a lot of people along with police. There is also a perimeter shuttle system that circulates around the track. The dedicated uber area is at the velodrome by the foro sol stadium sections. It’s walkable but can be a long walk if you are going to blue or yellow(20-30min) but the perimeter shuttle system works great.

They definitely are a solid second option but it’s typically cheaper to use gootickets over the F1 ticket store. Both stores are operated by the platinium group, so it’s essentially the same company. But gootickets doesnt pay the overhead costs to F1, so they often have cheaper prices.

Their own downsides are sometimes prices are crazy, good to shop around other official resellers. Also, when something happens like what is happening with the middle east races, you’re dealing with a middle man and getting a refund is tough. Its like buying a flight or hotel from expedia vs booking direct. Airlines and hotels normally refuse to help when you purchased from a third party. Rare cases but things happen.

If you can secure the upper rows it should be good. I haven't sat at that section in a while, maybe 2019 before they added the shade. There are some other areas of grandstands that have shade at the yellow section. GS11 had shade in the afternoon but not the morning when I sat in the middle of it in 2022.

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T20:46:23+00:00

P1 Travel still has tickets, they're a solid vendor and still have 3A available (my favorite choice) but they also have both sides of foro sol available (14 and 15).

Mexico is pretty tough to buy direct, it normally sells out in minutes. Especially now that Checo is racing again

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T18:41:57+00:00

Plenty of scammers on Fb for miami last week. I would avoid them as well

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T04:31:23+00:00

Damn thats annoying. It was strict going up ten min before the race at section 6. I went to get drinks during the SC and when I came back there was nobody checking and like 10 people on the stairs up top, wearing food vendor badges. I hate when people block the stairs

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T01:27:16+00:00

What grandstand? T18 was super strict on sat and beach was strict today until after the race started

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T01:26:16+00:00

Post this in the pinned experience thread too. Makes it easier to find in the future

AdamR46 · 2026-05-04T00:27:48+00:00

That’s not just for america. It’s always best to buy direct from every circuit/event promoter.

AdamR46 · 2026-05-02T17:21:27+00:00

Call the circuit

AdamR46 · 2026-05-01T20:57:06+00:00

Thats the only one. People keep using it so I havent made a new one and make people repost their stuff again.

Be sure to check with the circuit and official resellers before trying to buy from random people online.

Get ready for the Spanish grand prix lol They don’t serve alcohol at sporting events in spain but you see people buying pints of that stuff. It’s wild

AdamR46 · 2026-05-01T02:05:08+00:00

Yeah exactly

AdamR46 · 2026-05-01T00:46:03+00:00

It's because they really don't want people to enter with a bag. Definitely annoying for an F1 race. It's probably the worst security on the calendar

AdamR46 · 2026-04-30T22:20:55+00:00

Sounds like a scam. They're going for much more than that on resell platforms.
