5.) Monza

Major Incident: The fatal 1961 crash of Wolfgang Von Trips in his 156 Sharknose Ferrari put an end to Formula 1 cars on the banked section of the track's oval course, and to Von Trips' World Championship hopes, which he would have won that year.

Why It's Dangerous: Opened in 1922, Monza is one of the oldest tracks on the list. Once the home of the banked Parabolica corner, the track used to cross over itself in its old configuration. Now, some of the highest speeds on the Formula 1 calendar are reached there.
