The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a historic track with its roots dating back to the 1920s. However, looks like a practice of the 1920s has also returned in the 2022 season.
This specific practice relates to the serving of food and water to the spectators who are ready to cheer their team during the race. In all the other circuits, cash is the main method of ordering food and water.

However, at the Monza circuit, they neither accept cash nor credit card. Instead, a special digital and physical coin is the only means of acceptance. One special coin equals $1.52.
Tifosi is enjoying a great run by their team Ferrari as Charles Leclerc as he secured the pole position. He will be looking to capitalize and take the victory ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

Taking the digital way, fans have to register to a special website and transfer money via credit card on it. Inside the track, they will have to scan their race bracelets which contain the money.
However, this was not implemented properly as the website crashed and people could not log in. Moreover, the angry fans had to leave the circuit and find alternatives outside.
The physical coins system is not working as well. The hungry and angry fans have to wait for more than 2 hours in line to get in their seats. Besides, the line to the ATMs is also long as each fan withdraws bundles of coins for food and water.
