The Autodromo Nazionale Monza provided the backdrop today, Thursday, April 22, 2026, for the filming day of Scuderia Ferrari HP, which took to the track with the new SF-26.

At the wheel of the Ferrari, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton alternated, taking part in a series of runs dedicated to producing photo and video content for the team’s official communications and sponsors.

The day unfolded in full compliance with FIA regulations, which impose a maximum limit of 200 kilometers for filming days. Although regulated in nature, this activity allows teams to reconnect directly with the track, especially in an iconic setting like Monza.

This occasion goes beyond mere technical and media activity, fitting into the long-standing and deep relationship between the Temple of Speed and the Maranello-based team.

Monza is, in fact, one of the symbolic venues in Ferrari’s history, the stage for some of the most thrilling moments in Formula 1 and an essential reference point for fans of the Prancing Horse.

On the occasion of Milan Design Week, via Tortona 35 hosted the press conference presenting the 2026 edition of MIMO Milano Monza Motor Show, scheduled from June 26 to 28 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza.

The event confirms itself as one of the most anticipated appointments for enthusiasts and the general public: a dynamic, immersive, and free-entry exhibition capable of showcasing the world of automobiles in all its forms, from the most emotional to the most technologically advanced.

Supercars and hypercars will take center stage, bringing the track to life with spectacular dynamic sessions and offering fans the opportunity to experience performance and innovation up close. Alongside these, the program includes numerous test drive activities designed to allow visitors to get behind the wheel themselves: the tests will take place both on the circuit and on regular roads, providing direct contact with the latest technologies and mobility solutions.

“Events such as MIMO and Salone Auto Torino represent a virtuous example of how the automobile can be presented in an accessible, innovative, and audience-focused way,” said Geronimo La Russa, President of the Automobile Club d’Italia. “Direct public involvement, combined with the opportunity to enjoy dynamic experiences and discover new technologies, helps promote a more aware and modern culture of mobility.”

At the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, in parallel with the ACI Safe Driving Center in Vallelunga in Lainate, the “Together for Road Safety” day took place—an initiative promoted by the Automobile Club of Italy and the Ministry of Education and Merit, aimed at spreading training programs and raising awareness about road safety education.

The event involved more than 650 students and was structured through activities held in both Monza and Lainate, where the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, and the President of ACI, Geronimo La Russa, were present.

At the Monza circuit, the program dedicated to primary school pupils combined fun and educational moments: from karting in the square to the ACI format “Young Champions of Road Safety,” included in the educational offerings on the MIM’s Edustrada portal, as well as visits to the Carabinieri stand dedicated to biodiversity. Students in the final two years of primary school were also given the opportunity to try an immersive simulator and take part in a guided tour of the facility.

In the afternoon, attention shifted to secondary school students, who took part in a guided tour of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. This particularly meaningful experience helped turn theoretical training into a direct perception of risk, strengthening awareness of the dangers associated with distracted or improper driving.

On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April, two extrication courses were held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza under the auspices of Specialist Motorsport Academy.

The training activities were conducted by instructors Dr. Gianluca Greco, Dr. Paolo Mangili, and nurse Stefano Lodi, all affiliated with AREU (Regional Emergency and Urgency Agency).

A total of 42 participants were trained, including personnel from AREU, the Italian Red Cross, I-Help, and Padana Emergenza. Divided into working groups, participants practiced driver extrication techniques from single-seater cockpits and Gran Turismo cars, tackling realistic scenarios with a high level of operational complexity.

Specifically, during the course, both controlled and rapid extrication procedures were applied, using devices such as the BOA system and removable seats. This enabled participants to deal with emergency situations characterized by limited response times and critical conditions, improving their ability to respond and coordinate in high-risk environments.

“Specialist Motorsport Academy confirms its commitment to the specialized training of personnel involved in motorsport safety,” emphasized Raffaele Giammaria, Director of the ACI training school, “contributing to the continuous development of operational skills and the dissemination of best intervention practices.”

Formula 1 roared back to life at the Temple of Speed. On Thursday, April 16, 2026, under beautiful spring sunshine, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza welcomed the Audi Revolut F1 Team for a filming day that brought the charm and power of the pinnacle of motorsport back to the track.

Taking center stage on track was the R26, the car competing in the current World Championship, which completed the kilometers allowed by the regulations in a session dedicated to producing promotional content. Sharing driving duties were the team’s two official drivers: Germany’s Nico Hülkenberg, who took to the track in the morning, and Brazil’s Gabriel Bortoleto, who drove in the second part of the day.

As stipulated by FIA regulations, a maximum total distance of 200 kilometers could be covered during the filming day. The team made full use of this allowance to capture images and videos for communication activities and for its partners.

The Politecnico di Milano and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza – SIAS S.p.A. have signed a five-year framework agreement to develop joint activities in the fields of scientific research, education, and technological innovation applied to mobility and sports infrastructure.

The agreement aims to transform the Monza circuit into an open-air laboratory for testing new technological solutions, involving students, researchers, and faculty from the Politecnico in applied research projects and educational activities.

The collaboration – coordinated for the Politecnico by Professor Emilio Faroldi – will focus in particular on the study of materials and infrastructure for circuits and sports facilities, their architectural and environmental impact, the development of high-performance asphalt and safety systems, the testing of automotive technologies, and the creation of advanced simulation models for infrastructure design and management. Activities will also include studies on crowd management and safety at major events, as well as projects dedicated to environmental sustainability and the enhancement of the circuit’s historic structures.
