Supporters also revealed Monza implemented a token system to purchase food and drink which left people waiting for around an hour.One supporter claimed he walked 1km outside the venue to get water for his family but security would not let him back in. One fan even reported a massive queue at Monza train station on Sunday morning where a “crush was a real possibility”.READ MORE: Monaco to remain on F1 calendar ‘for a few more years’ despite fearsSpeaking to Italian media, Domenicali said: “The Grand Prix deserves to be on the calendar but, as I have said before, history is no longer enough to be able to secure your place in the F1 world championship today. We expect the infrastructure improvement that we have defined, both for the teams and for the public, to be done.“Covid has obviously brought forward other needs and other priorities, but now there are defined projects that must be carried out, and there is no more time.
