Ferrari announces fan event in Milan ahead of the F1 Italian Grand Prix weekend

Ferrari announces fan event in Milan ahead of the F1 Italian Grand Prix weekend. Ferrari is preparing a special event in Milan on September 3 ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.

Unique, fascinating and special. That is Monza. It is special for everyone, but even more so for Ferrari, since the Italian Grand Prix represents the team’s home race, the great meeting with its passionate fans, the one race where doing well is a must and mistakes are not allowed.Whether in years of triumph or in more difficult seasons, like this one that began with great expectations but quickly turned into a disappointment, Monza remains an essential event. For 2025, the objective has become limiting the damage and confirming second place in the Constructors’ standings achieved in 2024. A minimum but also maximum target, given the current competitive landscape.

A unique Grand Prix to celebrate

This is a unique race, and Ferrari intends to celebrate it. To do so, the team could unveil new team apparel (leaks on social media suggest a special Monza collection featuring blue and white clothing) and potentially a special livery. For years, Ferrari has presented unique colour schemes at Monza, and this year there may be a strong presence of white to honour anniversaries and traditions falling in this season.

Updates only in terms of image

This effort, however, will remain mostly on the image and communication front. From a technical perspective, Ferrari is not expected to introduce new developments at Monza. According to sources close to the team, the SF-25 will not feature upgrades for the Italian Grand Prix, unlike in the past when targeted development packages often arrived for this occasion.

Instead, Ferrari will focus only on track-specific adaptations, such as bringing back the low-downforce rear wing and applying minor routine adjustments. It is a logical choice, since development of the 2025 Ferrari effectively concluded with the introduction of the new rear suspension in Belgium. Resources—both financial and human—are now being redirected towards the 2026 car.

The only real “boost” will come from the power units, which will be fresher in terms of mileage. The cars will use the fourth power unit, first introduced in Britain and used only in one FP1 session. This strategy allows Ferrari drivers to benefit from engines at peak performance, which can also be pushed harder if necessary.

A party ready in the square

Despite a disappointing season and despite facing a Grand Prix where a major result looks unlikely without upgrades (with only circuit-specific setup and team expertise as potential assets), Ferrari has not lost its enthusiasm or its desire to connect with its fans.

Based on clues shared on social media, it appears that on the eve of the Italian GP, on September 3, the Scuderia will host a public event in Milan at the Palazzo Reale around 19:30. The event will be open to everyone and organised in collaboration with Peroni Nastro Azzurro. It will mark the first step in a celebratory weekend, further strengthening a tradition that has now become deeply rooted for the Italian team.

Moreover, this show echoes the winter event at Piazza Castello, when a huge crowd gathered for a Ferrari road show to celebrate the arrival of Lewis Hamilton. That celebration, filled with winter-champion vibes and with the Italian anthem sung passionately, generated high expectations—but Lewis Hamilton’s results so far have fallen far short of what many fans anticipated.
