Doing the Italian GP advice please.

It has to be this time to do it if Ferrari are in with a shout.
Never been. So I'm looking for the official Monza site and we would be looking to camp Friday - Sunday.
I can see the general admission tickets are pish and likely a mad rush for a only a couple of good spots, so maybe looking at inside parabolic grandstand tickets.
So anyone had camping experience? What's the official Monza site? Can you camp through circuit admission (circuit camp sites, booked through the main site) or is private/local the way?
We would be flying there so transport is public/on foot.

I went last year. We had grandstand seats at the first chicane. From what I could see general admission was mostly first come, first served bleachers. Numbers were very limited and the ones we passed were all full by the time we got to the track early each day.
We were in stand 8b, which was also bleachers, so we took folding seat back things and inflatable cushions to make it a bit more comfortable. I would highly recommend doing this if the grandstand you’re looking at are bleachers.
Aside from that, we didn’t camp so can’t advise on that.

I went a couple of years ago.
Absolutely get a grandstand, the general admission is rammed hours and hours before each session and due to the layout of the track you'll be lucky to see anything at all without a grandstand.
There were issues reported last year that people without appropriate tickets were just walking into grandstands and sitting down, so you might still want to plan to be there early.
Personally I wouldn't rely on public transport, get a hire car and park at GP Monza Parking P1 on Via Madonna delle Nevi, I booked in advance but there was still free places even on Sunday, exiting via Biassono got us back to Milan much quicker than the packed, hot train would.
Take a water bottle with you, there's plenty of refill opportunities and it will be hot.
Don't forget to investigate the old, banked circuit, though unless you're very lucky / sneaky don't expect to walk up it, they station marshals to stop that.
At the end of the race, get yourself onto the start-finish straight, we ended up almost directly below the podium and it made the weekend really.
