Behind the scenes at Monza

By:

AUTOSPORT's group F1 editor Jonathan Noble brings more tales from the paddock after the Italian Grand Prix weekend

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza has an atmosphere that no amount of money can buy. Walking or driving into the famous Royal Park, you cannot but help be moved by the sense of history and emotion that the place delivers - and the presence of the passionate 'tifosi' only serves to make things even better.

The paddock was packed through the weekend - as people flocked to catch a glimpse of F1 before it heads off to the Far East later this month.
