Tifoseria Ferrari and the Temple of Speed.
The Ferrari fan base is one of the most passionate in the world, and Monza is the stage where red fans gather each year to support their beloved Scuderia.
The “Temple of Speed” is not just a circuit, but a true icon, and the atmosphere during the Italian Grand Prix is unique. The adrenaline of the race mixes with the enthusiasm of a public that creates an unbreakable bond with the circuit and the Ferrari drivers.
But how crucial is fan support for Ferrari’s victories at Monza?
The historical link between Monza and Ferrari
Since 1922, with very few exceptions, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the Italian Grand Prix, a true symbol of history and tradition for motorsport. For Ferrari, Monza is not just a track, but the beating heart of its identity. Every corner, every straight tells stories of challenges and victories.
But what really sets Monza apart is the crowd: the Ferrari fans-often referred to precisely by the term “Tifosi”-are legendary for their overwhelming passion, which is felt in every corner of the circuit. The red grandstands, waving flags and choruses filling the air create an electric atmosphere that makes every race special. The fans are not mere spectators-they are an integral part of every Ferrari victory.
The magic of the Monza cheer: a unique atmosphere
It is not only the intensity of the fans that makes Monza special, but also the atmosphere around the race. The passion for Ferrari is tangible and enveloping. Monza is the meeting point for fans from all over the world to come together in one big party to celebrate motorsport. Fans are not passive spectators; they are an integral part of the race experience, and their support is real fuel for the drivers.
Many Ferrari drivers have always said that racing at Monza means feeling the heartbeat of the team and its fans. The tension and excitement that drivers feel during the Italian Grand Prix is not only related to the performance on the track, but also to the knowledge that they are representing one of the most prestigious racing teams in the world in front of a fan base that supports them without reservation. “When you feel the warmth of the fans, everything becomes possible” said Charles Leclerc after one of his races in Monza.
Fans’ support in Scuderia Ferrari’s victories at Monza
Ferrari’s historic victories at Monza are the result of a special bond between the drivers and their fans. Michael Schumacher won at Monza three times (2000, 2003, 2004), giving the fans moments of pure joy. And, in 2019, Charles Leclerc won a victory that entered everyone’s hearts, a sign of hope for Ferrari after a long period of waiting. The support of the “Fans” was essential on both occasions, fueling the drivers’ determination to lead Ferrari to success.
Leclerc’s victory at Monza in 2019 was particularly emotional for the fans, who saw in that triumph a symbol of rebirth. Ferrari was going through a difficult phase, but on that day, with fans cheering and chanting in the stands, the Monegasque gave them a historic victory that made every Ferrarista’s heart flutter. Similarly, the images of the success the Monegasque achieved in 2024 also remained well etched in the hearts of all supporters of the Maranello-based team.
The Monza Grand Prix is not just a race: it is a ritual, a celebration of passion, history and pride for Ferrari. The fans, with their tireless support, are an integral part of the Scuderia’s victories at Monza. Ferrari fans are not just spectators, but a living, breathing part of the engine that drives the men from Maranello to always strive for victory. Every year, Monza becomes the beating heart of motorsport, where the passion of the fans and the talent of the drivers meet to write new pages in the history of Formula 1.
