If anyones been to Monza, would appreciate it if you have any good tips on where to view for general admin.

Do I also need to get there at some crazy time to avoid sitting at the back and seeing nothing?!

Going on last year.
The whole of the inside of Parabolica is GA and is pretty close to the track. Not a bad place to spectate from as it's quite heavily wooded so shaded (it was scorching last year). The entry to P/B (inside) is also GA as are the old concrete bleachers on the exit. There's also a very small grandstand there that appeared to be first come first served on race day.

There's another small piece of GA between the big Parabolica Interna grandstand (home of the Norfolkits this year) and the pit entry. Not familiar with the other end of the track.

Last year we got to the track around 8.00 on race day and GA was already fairly busy.

People stay put all weekend in some spots!

However if you get the train in to the track, which stops by the Lesmo's and head straight to the Variante Ascari there's a free mini stand there which looks over the whole chicane if you can get a spot on it.

People are friendly and dont cause hassle so its nice, they just get drunk and have a laugh!

Failing that...its tough. I didnt find anywhere better but to soak up the atmosphere have a stroll around.

If you are there all weekend, then you can walk on that day and see what you like. I honestly found staying in one spot a waste, because everywhere you turn there is this beautiful history!

If you head to the inside of Lesmo 2, there's a big screen opposite. It's actually a bit tough to find a decent GA spot for the race with a good view of a screen. Event is absolute magic though - you'll love it.
