Angelo Sticchi Damiani, the president of the ACI, has been given a headache with less than two months left for the Italian GP at Monza. But, it’s one of the headaches that he wouldn’t mind having. With the rising popularity of F1, there has been an increase in the number of people turning up to watch each and every Grand Prix. We saw that in Britain, Austria and the list goes on.
With Monza being Ferrari’s home race and the prancing horse looking competitive than ever, the anticipation has been multifold. The pace of the Italian Giants throughout the course of the season has been breathtaking but reliability has been a cause of concern, costing them a handful of crucial points. The silver lining is that they still have an outside chance to make a comeback.
It’s imperative for Ferrari and Charles Leclerc to keep on the pressure on Red Bull to keep the Tifosi interested. For now, the response has been unprecedented as it has been reported that we can expected 320000 spectators over the course of the weekend. But, Monza doesn’t have the capacity to accommodate that sort of attendance and therefore temporary steps for this race are being taken.

Angelo Sticchi Damiani confirms temporary stands are built to satisfy the demand for the Italian GP
Angelo Sticchi Damiani confirmed that he has had to adjust in his preparations for the race weekend. He said, “The numbers are exceptional, an extremely positive fact. We are already heading towards 320,000 over the weekend, numbers never obtained . In 2019 we were just over 200,000.
“There is great enthusiasm for Ferrari and for the racetrack that will turn 100 years old. There is a great passion in Italy for motoring, which for 2 years was forced or almost out of the racetracks. The possibility of returning created the desire to be there.”
“For Sunday we expect between 110 and 120 thousand, a record. We are building temporary stands to try to fully satisfy demand and reach an even greater number of spectators.”
The Tifosi is doing everything in their capacity to support their team in this time of minor slump. Therefore, it becomes Ferrari’s responsibility to put on a show for their loyal supporters.
