Formula 1 fans will have noticed the Monza circuit hosting this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix looks rather different in 2023 – particularly around the famous Lemso turns – for one sad reason.The towering trees that used to push right up against the twin, quick right-handers early in the second sector have been dramatically thinned – the race missing an almost tunnel-like area where natural beauty met cutting-edge racing technology.
This is because just six weeks ago, this part of northern Italy was struck by a series of severe thunderstorms. Two storms in four days between 21-24 July did the real damage, with wind speeds clocked at over 60mph, well over gale-force level, and the trees, once many had been uprooted, fell in a domino-like effect as they hit others nearby.
Monza staff, working with employees from the local government, worked hard to clear the debris and repair the damage in the time that led up to this weekend's event and it has resulted in no disruption. Trees had to be cleared from many of the walkways and access roads around the Monza circuit site, although the larger fanzones placed on wider grassy areas were largely unaffected.
