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. The idea is to offset part of the carbon dioxide emissions produced during major events and tends to enhance the role of plants in reducing air pollution.

Objective 50 thousand trees throughout the country
The project was born from an idea by Paolo Cantarella, president of the ACI Sport Historic Car Commission, which has seen the planting of 740 trees so far in 2024 on the occasion of seven historic car races and the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Imola and Monza. 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.
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”.
