Angelo Sticchi Damiani: “Monza is not just numbers”
Angelo Sticchi Damiani did not hide his enthusiasm
ACI President Angelo Sticchi Damiani did not hide his enthusiasm: “With the highest number of spectators ever recorded, we are about to hold the 93rd Italian GP, as many as 88 of those held in Monza, at the circuit that, in the world, has hosted more motor racing Grand Prix and that 3 days ago turned 100 years old – he said -. These few numbers would be enough to describe Monza, the pride and satisfaction we feel together today. But the Autodromo di Monza is not just numbers; on the contrary, it is above all the throbbing emotion for the skill and courage of the drivers who, over the decades, have measured themselves with the ‘Temple of Speed’; it is the passion in its stands for this extraordinary man-machine combination of Formula 1.”
“Monza is the contribution to technological evolution and is the future of motor racing as the automobile faces epochal transformations. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us today to thank the women and men who, since 1922, have made this possible, the millions and millions of fans who make the Autodrome alive, and the institutions that are supporting us in building the next 100 years. In conclusion let me say: Monza: 100 years and not feeling it,” added Sticchi Damiani.
