Monza yes, Imola no: the news all fans were waiting for amid 2025 F1 races. The Frecce Tricolori will return for the Italian GP but not for Emilia-Romagna.

Anyone who attended the Monza or Imola GPs in 2024 likely noticed a significant absence: the Frecce Tricolori. At both events, their historic presence was notably missing. However, in 2025, a major development will bring smiles to Monza but not to Imola.

The Frecce Tricolori, also known as the “Pride of Italy,” are one of the country’s most iconic symbols. Their breathtaking aerial displays have become a traditional highlight of various sporting events, including F1. Their presence at Monza, the historic home of the Italian Grand Prix, reflects a deep connection between the love of racing and national pride.

Frecce Tricolori: present in Monza but not in Imola
Every year, during the Monza GP, the Frecce Tricolori celebrate Italian pride by painting the sky above the circuit with their tricolor trails. This display contributes to making the Monza Grand Prix a unique experience, blending the roar of engines with the thrill of watching these planes perform stunning aerial maneuvers.

However, there is a downside to the news. The Frecce Tricolori will not be present at the Imola Grand Prix, despite initial plans to include them. This decision may stem from logistical reasons. Although Imola, along with the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit, holds historical significance for F1 and boasts a strong following among Italian fans, the Frecce Tricolori’s appearance will this year be exclusive to Monza.

For Monza, the return of the Frecce Tricolori is highly anticipated. The 2025 Formula One season will mark the return of one of the most awaited moments of the year. Monza, more than any other circuit, embodies the passion for Formula 1 in Italy, and the return of the Frecce Tricolori is sure to delight Italian fans.
