The official presentation of the poster for the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia 2025, scheduled to take place at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza from September 5 to 7 as the 16th round of the Formula 1 World Championship, was held this morning at the Automobile Club d’Italia headquarters in Rome.

In attendance were ACI Extraordinary Commissioner Tullio Del Sette, Deputy Commissioner Giovanni Battista Tombolato, and ACI President-elect Geronimo La Russa.

The theme of the 2025 poster is “The Sense of Speed”, a visual tribute to the DNA of the historic Brianza circuit. Built in 1922, Monza is the second oldest permanent racetrack still in operation, after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Its legendary nickname, Temple of Speed, stems from its defining features: long straights, flat-out corners, and — in the past — the iconic high-speed oval.

The 2025 poster, both a visual prelude to the race and a coveted collector’s item for fans, represents speed as a swirling vortex blending the Italian tricolore with ACI’s institutional blue. As the national sporting authority, ACI owns the Italian Grand Prix. Featured in the artwork are three Formula 1 cars: the Ferrari, motorsport’s “national red team,” victorious at Monza in 2024 with Charles Leclerc and returning this year with a dream lineup that includes seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton; the Mercedes driven by young Italian prodigy Kimi Andrea Antonelli, a symbol of ACI Team Italia’s talent development program; and the McLaren-Mercedes of current title contenders Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Tullio Del Sette commented: “The poster we unveiled this morning will accompany the 96th edition of the Italian Grand Prix, the 75th since the Formula 1 World Championship was established. The central motif is a chromatic vortex exalting our tricolore, enveloping three cars that represent today’s Formula 1: Ferrari, naturally; McLaren, currently leading the championship; and Antonelli’s Mercedes, the pride of Italy and ACI Team Italia. The blue ring surrounding the vortex represents ACI’s institutional color, as Italy’s motorsport federation, affiliated with CONI, co-founder of the FIA, and once again organizer of the Grand Prix.”

Giovanni Battista Tombolato added: “I am proud to be Italian. Everything Monza represents — for fans, for the public, for the region, is of immense value. Monza is the most historic track on the current calendar, with the September race marking the 75th Grand Prix held here since the inception of the World Championship. Not even Monte Carlo or Silverstone can claim that. I invite fans to come in great numbers, let’s set a new attendance record together.”

Geronimo La Russa concluded: “Monza is home to me, but above all, it is the home of Formula 1, of the fans’ passion, and of cutting-edge technology. Its long-standing presence in the sport speaks to the dedication of everyone who works to ensure the success of this event, which brings benefits to the region and the entire country. As ACI, we remain committed to enhancing the experience and strengthening its position at the heart of Italy’s sporting calendar.”

This will be the 96th running of the Italian Grand Prix. Since the birth of the World Championship in 1950, Monza has hosted the race continuously, with the sole exception of 1980, when it was held in Imola. No other circuit in the world boasts such consistent presence in Formula 1 history.

The official opening ceremony of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia 2025 will take place at 12:00 on September 2 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
