The 2025 Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia at Monza offers fans more than just high-speed action on the legendary Autodromo Nazionale.

📅 Friday Evening Schedule (September 5, 2025)

🏁 Paddock Club: Track Tour & Pit Lane Walk (19:25–20:00)

Guests of the Paddock Club kick off the evening with a guided lap of the historic Monza circuit aboard a flatbed truck. This exclusive tour is hosted by F1 experts who provide commentary on the circuit's unique corners, racing history, and technical demands. Following the lap, participants are granted access to the pit lane, where they can observe teams preparing the cars and possibly witness live pit stop practice sessions.

• Pit Lane Walk: Up-close view of team garages and car prep
• Note: Limited spots — guests must sign up early in the day

🏆 F1 Experiences: Track Tour & Trophy Photo (20:00–21:00)

Immediately following the Paddock Club session, F1 Experiences guests can enjoy their own guided track tour. This package includes a professional photo opportunity with an official Formula 1 World Championship trophy, making it a perfect souvenir moment for dedicated fans and hospitality clients alike.

🔧 F1 Experiences: Pit Lane Walk (20:45–21:30)

The final event of the evening allows F1 Experiences participants a second chance to walk the pit lane. With the garages still active and the crews completing setup work for the weekend, fans can get a rare, unfiltered view of how F1 teams operate behind the scenes. This is one of the few moments fans can observe the race machinery and crew preparations without the race-day pressure.

• Photography: Permitted in designated areas

✅ How It Works

• Advance Booking: Especially for Paddock Club activities, guests must register early on Friday morning. Slots are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Seamless Flow: All three events are scheduled sequentially, allowing full participation without overlap — ideal for fans with Paddock Club + F1 Experiences access.
• Transportation: Guests remain within the Paddock hospitality zone, with track tours using dedicated vehicles.

🎯 Tips for Attendees

• Arrive early to sign up for the Paddock Club track tour
• Wear comfortable shoes — walking on pit lane and boarding trucks may involve stairs or uneven surfaces
• Bring a good camera or phone — the trophy photo and garage shots are must-captures
• Confirm access levels based on your hospitality package (Paddock Club vs. F1 Experiences)

Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned F1 guest, Friday evening at the Italian Grand Prix delivers a unique blend of luxury, access, and intimacy with the sport. It's a perfect prelude to the racing action that follows over the weekend at the Temple of Speed.
