🔧 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.
