FORMULA 1 PIRELLI ITALIAN GRAND PRIX 2024: EVERY DRIVER A TREE
The “ Every driver, a tree ” initiative, promoted by Automobile Club d'Italia in agreement with the General Command of the Forestry, Environmental and Agri-food Units of Carabinieri, continues on the occasion of the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia 2024.
Twenty trees, one for each protagonist of the World Championship. A reforestation project with the planting of native plants supplied by the National Centers for Biodiversity of the Carabinieri. The appointment is for Friday 30 August at 11 am near the Variante Ascari .
These are native plants supplied by the National Centers for Biodiversity of the Carabinieri: wild apple, wild pear, pado, wild cherry, Turkey oak, oxyphilous ash and field maple.

This initiative is part of the national project “ A tree for the future ”, launched in 2021 by the Carabinieri Forestali in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, with the aim of creating a widespread forest, extending across the entire national territory through the planting of 50 thousand trees, all geolocalized, in a few years.

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.

A commitment to adapt to the standards of modern Formula 1. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini also participated in the start of the work this morning.
Angelo Sticchi Damiani (President of Automobile Club Italia) “We want to combine the extraordinary history of this facility, which has hosted the exploits of the all-time champions of world motorsport, with technological research and the most cutting-edge architectural solutions, naturally with the utmost respect for the iconic place in which we are located. We are in fact inside the second largest fenced park in Europe, a restricted park, a treasure to be safeguarded for future generations. Within this context we have designed and from now on we will work towards the realization of an ambitious project which will have the aim, within three years, of completing a significant restyling of the Autodrome. The objective is to ensure that our system aligns itself with the best circuits around the world, in terms of the quality of the offer provided, preserving the plus of over one hundred years of history, the unique heritage of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Always in the search to keep the helm firmly in place, in the development of our journey that begins today, the first interventions are aimed at safeguarding the usability of the facility and the safety of the public, trying in the meantime to get to the next grand prix by immediately giving a new and captivating image of the circuit. We are absolutely grateful for the attention of the Government and the Public Authorities, demonstrated by the presence of the Honorable Matteo Salvini, Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, who wanted to demonstrate his support for the Automobile Club of Italy, to the Automobile Club Milano, represented here by President Geronimo La Russa, and to SIAS in the person of President Giuseppe Redaelli. A further testimony to the unity of the team that is carrying out this project is the unconditional support that the Lombardy Region, in the person of its President Attilio Fontana, has always shown".
Stefano Domenicali (President and CEO Formula 1) : "The important works starting here today represent the first step needed to adapt the Monza plant to the standards required by modern Formula 1. I want to thank the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, the President of Lombardy, the President of the Automobile Club of Italy and the mayor of Monza for the effort that led to this announcement and to making the investments possible. I look forward to these works being completed in time for the Italian Grand Prix in September and look forward to seeing the full program of works continue over the coming years".
Attilio Fontana (President of the Lombardy Region) “The complex of the Park and the Royal Villa of Monza is a jewel of our Lombardy which hosts important activities. Among these is the Autodromo where the Monza Grand Prix takes place which has a history and fame with few equals and an important return for the area. The Lombardy Region has always supported with substantial resources both the Villa Reale complex, with 55 million euros for the realization of the master plan, and ACI, with 32 million euros of autonomous resources and 25 million derived from the State, for the works that will allow use the systems as best as possible with an important economic return. We hope that the renovation works, which start today, will be completed within the scheduled timescales and that the planned works on the stands and boxes will also be completed as soon as possible. We also trust that the national institutions will continue to support, together with us, the Monza Park with its Villa and the Grand Prix".
Paolo Pilotto (Mayor of Monza) “The constant commitment of all the public entities involved has made it possible to get to today with the start of the works. In particular, we have paid great attention to maintaining a stable and rigorous balance between the needs of the sports facility - which boasts a glorious history - and respect for the cultural and environmental heritage that surrounds it, which is equally historic and prestigious. Today's is certainly a goal, but also a challenge in ensuring quality and precision of execution, combining them with respect for the scheduled times: a test of speed and skill that the circuit requires and which we are certain will also be applied to the other works that the capital of Brianza awaits, starting from the extension of the M5 line from Milan to Monza."
A more modern, high-performance, safe, comfortable and sustainable system. Below, in summary, the most significant interventions that will affect the Autodromo Nazionale Monza and which, thanks to the use of materials obtained from regenerated and regenerable raw materials, will involve little exploitation of virgin resources and will have a minimal impact on the natural environment of the park and will allow the reduction of both air and noise pollution:
newly developed flexible paving , which will make the track more performing, both in terms of speed and resistance;
demolition and reconstruction of the curbs present along the curves;
renovation of the water collection and drainage system (the new system has been specifically designed to deal with the increasingly frequent extreme weather events);
redevelopment of the entrance avenue from Vedano ;
demolition and reconstruction of 3 underpasses (Santa Maria alle Selve entrance, adjacent to the swimming pool, and the two that reach viale Mirabello, passing under the straight stretch between the Ascari variant and the Parabolica-Alboreto curve);
construction of a new underpass that will connect Porta Vedano to the Parabolica;
creation of new pedestrian paths in concrete, an ideal material for outdoor pedestrian paving.
In all the underpasses, to guarantee the public can follow tests, qualifications and races in maximum safety, pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be separated and there will be a new, functional and safe access for heavy vehicles.
