Here’s a look at the 2023 Italian GP preview, schedule, live stream details and our predictions for the race at Monza

The Italian Grand Prix, established in 1921, is the fifth oldest national Grand Prix globally, following the French Grand Prix, the American Grand Prize, the Spanish Grand Prix, and the Russian Grand Prix. With its 92nd edition in 2022, it holds the record for the most frequently hosted Grand Prix since 2013. Alongside the British GP, it is one of only two races that have been part of the Formula One World Championship every season since its inception in 1950.

The historic Monza circuit, situated near the city of Monza in northern Italy, will be the venue for the Italian Grand Prix.

The circuit’s primary highlight is the Italian Grand Prix, which has been held there consistently since 1949, except for the 1980 edition.

Italian GP 2023 Predictions

Given Max Verstappen’s current run of form, it’s quite likely that he will clinch another victory and inch closer to the title. However, he’ll have to contend with formidable competition from drivers such as Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton, and Sergio Perez. Our weekend prediction suggests Verstappen taking the top spot (P1), with Hamilton in second (P2), and Perez clinching third (P3) spot.
