FORMULA 1 PIRELLI ITALIAN GRAND PRIX 2024: POSTER REVEALED!
Sticchi Damiani: “Concrete sign of the restart of the works finished on time thanks to teamwork".
A few days after the conclusion of the works on the track of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the Automobile Club of Italy unveils the poster of the 2024 Formula 1 Pirelli Italian Grand Prix scheduled for September 1st.
“It is with great pride that we present the poster of the 95th Italian Grand Prix in Monza after a very demanding and also suffered year due to the works that were carried out at the National Autodrome, works made complicated by external factors such as adverse weather and other complications of a technical nature – is the comment of the president of ACI, Angelo Sticchi Damiani –. But we made it 4 days ahead of the deadline set by the International Federation, i.e. 60 days before the grand prix took place. The success is due to the commitment of Sias, the Bacchi company, the director of the works, Professor Maurizio Crispino, ACI Progei and the General Director of the Autodromo Alfredo Scala. This collective effort definitively removed all doubts about maintaining the time commitment. This year our fans, teams and drivers will be able to be welcomed in a renovated, more modern and safer circuit”.

Getting to know Brianza, a short guide in 7 questions
Short guide to discover Brianza, a pocket of Italy with ancient history. Who originally inhabited this area? What are its cultural, landscape and food and wine beauties? What is the best time to visit? How do you get to Brianza? All the answers in this study. Rich in history, culture and wonderful landscapes, Brianza is a true jewel of Northern Italy , a fascinating place that deserves to be discovered. In every season, Brianza is ready to welcome Italian and foreign tourists, to give them a journey in which art and nature, tradition and future, beauty and taste mix . Here is a short guide designed for those who are planning a trip to Brianza and would like to know more.
What is Brianza and where is it located?
Brianza is a geographical area located in northern Italy, between the cities of Milan, Como, Lecco and Bergamo . It is known above all for its fascinating hilly landscape , rich in greenery and populated by small lakes, woods and agricultural areas. It is not the landscape alone, however, that exhausts the potential of Brianza, which over the years has also established itself as an important industrial district , crossed as it is by a dense network of small and medium-sized businesses, active above all in the furniture and fashion sectors. . Not to mention the historical and cultural richness of this region, which houses many sites of artistic and architectural interest, as well as well-rooted local traditions. If we want to trace more precise boundaries of Brianza , it is possible to identify them as follows, referring to the oldest delimitation (attributed to the essayist Ignazio Cantù):
- to the north, the Vallategna waterfall;
- to the south, the northern walls of Monza;
- to the east, Lake Garlate, Lake Olginate and the Adda river;
- to the west, the Seveso river.
Within itself, Brianza can be further divided into three areas :
- the Upper Brianza of Como;
- the Upper Brianza area of Lecco;
- Lower Brianza.
What are the main cities of Brianza?
As mentioned, Brianza is dotted with cities and towns of great importance, as well as numerous sites of archaeological, historical and cultural interest. Among the most important inhabited centers are:
- Monza . Capital of the province of Monza and Brianza, it is a city with an ancient and glorious history and a vast cultural heritage. It is famous, among other things, for the Autodromo Nazionale, home of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, and for the Villa Reale, an architectural jewel that rivals the Royal Palace of Caserta and that of Versailles.
- Lecco . Located on the shores of Lake Como, it is known for its splendid mountain landscape which inspired Alessandro Manzoni in his novel "I Promessi Sposi". It is also an important center for the metallurgical and mechanical industries.
- How . Although only part of the city extends into Brianza, it is a point of reference for the region thanks to its world-famous lake and its silk industry.
To these three pearls there are many others, among which the municipalities of Seregno , famous for the production of wood and furniture, Lissone , a hub of design and furnishings, Cesano Maderno , a true architectural jewel, and Cantù , also known for its basketball team, deserve to be mentioned.
What are the origins of the Brianza hill?
The hills of Brianza , which enchant so many tourists, are the result of a series of extremely ancient geological processes. It is estimated, in fact, that their origin dates back to the period between the Tertiary and Quaternary, approximately from 66 million to 2.6 million years ago . In particular, during the Tertiary period, Brianza underwent an uplift due to the tectonic pressures associated with the collision between the African and European plates. Thus the pre-Alps but also the hills of Brianza were formed. Subsequently, the erosion of the rocks and the deposition of sediments carried by watercourses further shaped the landscape, creating the soft hilly forms typical of this area.
What are the main elements of the history and culture of Brianza?
To learn about and briefly retrace the history of Brianza, it is useful to start from the etymology of its name , which reveals its origins. According to the most accredited reconstruction, in fact, Brianza derives from brig , which in the Celtic language means hill . Another hypothesis, however, connects the name of the region to that of Brianteo, general of the troops of Belloveso, king of the Gauls and legendary founder of Milan, according to Livy. Whatever the truth, the data that emerges from these two possible reconstructions is that already in pre-Roman times , Brianza was a lively and growing territory , in which the first cultural manifestations are closely linked to the presence of peoples from Northern Europe. The golden period of this area, however, coincides with the Middle Ages and the domination of the Lombards, who proved to be very linked to Brianza. Above all, the figure of Queen Teodolinda stands out, who brought great lustre to the city of Monza, where the famous Iron Crown (which is located inside the Museum of the Cathedral of Monza ) is still kept, in which a nail from the cross of Christ is set and with which the Kings of Italy were crowned for many years. The Renaissance period, however, is the period in which the numerous Ville di Delizia flourished, that is, the summer residences of the most prominent noble families that characterise this area and are today an unmissable tourist attraction.
What to see and what to do in Brianza
What are the typical dishes of Brianza?
The food and wine tradition of Brianza cuisine reflects the characteristics of the landscape and society: a rural area characterized by rolling hills and numerous lakes. The result is a poor but substantial cuisine . The recurring and distinctive elements in Brianza dishes are undoubtedly rice , polenta and pork . Very tasty, for example, is the risotto with luganega , a particular sausage typical of the area, recognizable by its thin and elongated appearance. Another undisputed queen of Brianza tables is cassoeula , a dish obtained by assembling the less noble parts of the pig, combined with stewed vegetables and polenta. How can we not mention a whole series of dishes with a long tradition: rusticiada (pork stew), panmoijaa (soup with lard and bacon), minestrone Brianza (with rice, cabbage, lard, beans and potatoes) and Tripe . Among the sweets, the bread of San Gerardo stands out, named after the co-patron saint of Monza: made with sugar, honey, fruit, sultanas, almonds and candied chestnuts.
What is the best time to visit Brianza?
Brianza is ready to welcome tourists all year round , offering, in different seasons, different leisure opportunities, mixing art, culture and nature. Spring and autumn are certainly the most suitable seasons , because they are characterized by mild temperatures and nature that shows itself in all its splendor. Even in summer, however, the temperatures remain pleasant and the entire Brianza area is filled with traditional events, festivals of various kinds and popular initiatives. Finally, winter is perfect for those who love more intimate atmospheres and are not afraid of cold temperatures. In this season, in fact, many sites of cultural interest can still be visited but are much less crowded than at other times.
How to get to Brianza?
Getting to Brianza is relatively simple , given its proximity to Milan and its good connection with other parts of Lombardy. For those traveling by car , it is possible to use the A4 motorway (Milan-Brescia) or the A8/A9 motorway (if you come from above Varese or Como). Then there are numerous provincial and regional roads that offer easy access to many of the cities and towns of Brianza. Another possibility is the train , given that the area is also served by several railway lines . The main stations are those of Monza, Lecco and Como. All these cities are easily reachable from Milan with regional trains that depart frequently from the Central Station. Therefore it is possible to use the Lombard capital as a bridge to access Brianza. Furthermore, from Monza station it is possible to take local buses or trains that allow you to reach other Brianza destinations. Finally, for international visitors or those coming from more distant areas of Italy, the plane option is available. The closest airport is Milan Linate, followed by Milan Malpensa and Bergamo Orio al Serio. From these airports, you can then rent a car or take a train or bus to reach Brianza.

Tests of the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship, how did they go?
The 2024 Formula 1 World Championship winter testing was held in a single event in Sakhir, Bahrain, from 21 to 23 February. Here's how they went and what were the results recorded on the track by the new single-seaters, presented just a few days ago. Every year, the lead-up to a new Formula 1 season is marked by two fundamental stages: the presentations of the new single-seaters and the winter tests . In particular, the latter represent a sort of dress rehearsal for the Formula 1 World Championship , the only official opportunity for the ten teams to refine the feeling between car and drivers before the start of the season. It is normal, therefore, that the eyes of insiders and enthusiasts are focused precisely on the tests, which heat up the atmosphere and increase curiosity for the start of the new championship.
The 2024 Formula 1 winter testing schedule
This year too, however, four-wheel fans, as already happened in 2023, had to settle for just one appointment for the Formula 1 winter tests, instead of the two scheduled for the 2022 season. The 2024 Formula 1 World Championship , in fact, is already upon us (it will start on March 2) and will be the longest in history. There was therefore little time to test the new single-seaters, given that the presentations ended in mid-February . For this reason, the only winter tests for Formula 1 2024 were held from 21 to 23 February in Bahrain , precisely on the Sakhir track, the same one that will host the first Grand Prix of the season.
What to give to a Formula 1 fan?
All test results from the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship
Formula 1 fans know it well: the results of winter tests should always be taken with a pinch of salt , because they can be misleading. In fact, there are many possibilities for teams to "bluff" to maintain an aura of mystery about their strengths and especially their weaknesses until the moment of the first Grand Prix. However, this does not mean that the tests cannot provide some useful information for imagining the Championship to come . From this point of view it is therefore legitimate to ask what the laps of the track done by the single-seaters in Bahrain revealed. The final time classification reveals a Ferrari capable of taking home the virtual front row: first Sainz , who stopped the clock of his fastest lap under a minute and a half (1'29''921), second Lecrerc , who stopped just above (1'30''322). Followed by Russell on Mercedes (1'30''368), Zhou on Sauber (1'30''647) and Perez and Verstappen on Red Bull (with 1'30''679 and 1'30''755 respectively). In the three days of Sakhir there were different simulations both on the "flying lap" and on the race pace. Only the start of the season will reveal who has come closest to 3-time World Champion Max Verstappen and Red Bull.

Presentations of the Formula 1 single-seaters, the complete calendar for 2024
In the first half of February, the teams competing in the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship will present the new single-seaters. A crucial step ahead of the new season, which attracts all Formula 1 fans. The presentations of the single-seaters and the winter tests in preparation for the new season are the stages of the approach to the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship . The first official outing of the cars is scheduled for February 21st to 23rd in Sakhir, Bahrain. By that date, therefore, all the teams must have presented their new race cars. Launch events always attract a lot of attention and exert a particular fascination on enthusiasts and professionals. It is from that moment, in fact, that one can begin to fantasize about the new season, venturing into more or less reliable predictions.
F1 World Championship 2024, the calendar of single-seater presentations
Almost all the teams that will participate in the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship have communicated the date of the presentation of the new single-seaters and all the appointments will be concentrated in the first half of February . Here is the calendar of events (the name of the single-seater in brackets):
- Haas F1 (VF-24) – February 2
- Williams (FW46) - February 5
- Sauber (C44) - 5 February
- Alpine (A524) - 7 February
- Visa Cash App Racing Bulls – February 9th

The 2024 Formula 1 single-seaters
Below is a brief summary of the main features of each car that will take part in the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship.
Haas - VF-24
Even for 2024, Haas has chosen a digital-only presentation of the new single-seater, releasing renders of the new car's livery from which little can be hypothesized regarding any possible technical innovations. The photos, however, were then followed by the first real images, coming from the Silverstone circuit, where Haas raced its first filming day. Overall, there is a slimming of the sides , also made possible by moving the radiators to a central position . On the mechanical front, the suspensions with push rod model on the front and pull rod on the rear seem confirmed. 
Williams - FW46
The launch of the new Williams single-seater took place in New York, at the iconic Puma flagship store. However, it was a partial presentation. In fact, only the livery of the FW46 has been revealed , while maximum confidentiality has been maintained on the technical innovations, which will only be made known during the first official tests. The aesthetics of the new car that will be driven by Albon and Sargeant do not differ much from the 2023 version. The navy blue color remains prevalent, with variations in lighter and darker shades. Furthermore, on the nose there is a double red and white stripe , a tribute to the glorious past of the team. 
Sauber - C44
At Sauber , however, a choice opposite to that of Williams was made, revolutionising the colours of the livery . Goodbye to the red-white references, a sign of the collaboration with Alfa Romeo, and space instead for a powerful combination of black and acid green . As for the technical innovations, the most evident are the new pull-rod front suspension , which replaced the previous push-rod system, and an aerodynamic package with very aggressive lines . 
Alpine - A524
Let's now move to Enstone, where the veils covering the new Alpine single-seater have fallen, revealing what appears to be a real revolution. In fact, there are many new features that characterize the A524 . A lot of work was done on the frame , which came out completely redesigned as well as lighter . Furthermore, a new rear suspension system was introduced and the front suspension system was optimized (in both cases, however, the push-rod model was confirmed). Finally, it is also worth mentioning the important changes that have affected the air cooling system . 
Visa CashApp Racing Bulls – VCARB 01
Visa CashApp Racing Bulls , the new name of the former AlphaTauri team, has instead chosen Las Vegas to unveil the VCARB 01. Even in this case, however, only renderings were shown and not the real car. The new single-seater features a livery that takes you back in time, because its colors and style recall that used by the latest Toro Rosso cars (2019): dominant blue, broken up by two white stripes with red edges. From a mechanical point of view, however, the clues that can be gleaned from the images seem to indicate a strong similarity with the Red Bull RB19. 
Aston Martin Racing - AMR24
The AMR24 , the car with which Aston Martin will line up at the starting line of the 2024 season, features significant evolutions compared to the 2023 single-seater, but no radical upheavals. The livery is in absolute continuity with last year , with the exception of a few details. More interesting, however, are the technical variations. What stands out above all is the shorter muzzle and the smaller air inlets . Furthermore, the rear suspension switches from the pull rod model to the push rod one , realigning itself with the front ones. Finally, it is worth highlighting the overall slimming of the bodywork .
Ferrari - SF-22
There are also many new features at Ferrari . The new SF-24 , shown only on video in the presentation event and then seen live during the shakedown held in Fiorano, already appears evolved in the livery , with the traditional white and yellow stripes that gain more space, starting from the nose, and with the wheel covers turning red. As regards the mechanics, the distinction between the front (push-rod) and rear (pull-rod) suspensions remains but the installation points of the arms on the frame change. Interesting elements are also the lengthening of the frame itself, the moving back of the gearbox and engine and the reshaping of the sides . 
Mercedes - W15
At Mercedes, a truly revolutionary approach has been chosen. The W15 offers a radical renewal compared to the 2023 single-seater, both in form and substance. First of all, silver dominates the livery again , a tribute to the 90 years of the team. In terms of structure and mechanics, a very important change concerns the height from the ground , which decreases again but without reaching the record limits of 2022, which we had caused some problems. The chassis , nose and gearbox are also new, and the cockpit is positioned further back in response to the needs expressed by Hamilton. 
McLaren - MCL38
Among the latest single-seaters to be presented, the McLaren MCL38 showed itself to the world of enthusiasts with the classic livery dominated by orange , combined with the carbon black of the unpainted parts. From a structural and mechanical point of view, the English car manufacturer seems to have worked a lot on details and not on major upheavals. The nose attaches to the front wing on the second profile, the bellies are quite pronounced and go down drastically at the rear, on the bonnet there are two "pipes" which convey the hot air onto the rear wing. Finally, the distinction between rear (push rod) and front (pull rod) suspensions has been confirmed. 
Red Bull Racing - RB20
The RB20, with which Red Bull will try to confirm its dominance of Formula 1 next season, took some time to unveil but did not disappoint expectations. Regardless of the motto "you don't change a team that wins", the Keynes team has revolutionized the single-seater with which it won the last championship. What remains practically identical is only the coloring. Among the most impactful innovations are the elongated snout , the completely redesigned entrance to the bellies and the overall shapes which appear very extreme . The suspension systems have been confirmed, but with changes to the kinematics.
