Monza’s Formula 1 paddock is drawing some of Italy’s biggest sporting names this weekend, including tennis world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, nine-time motorcycle world champion Valentino Rossi and Olympic skiing champion Federica Brignone.

Sinner traveled to northern Italy to meet Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the Italian driver and friend he has supported. Antonelli has repeatedly spoken about his admiration for Rossi and is competing this weekend with a helmet design inspired by the Tavullia rider. The helmet also includes a tribute to Rossi.

Brignone is returning to the Italian Grand Prix after attending the race at Imola in 2025. The list of sporting guests is set to grow on Sunday, when several Inter Milan players are expected at the circuit, including Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram and Curtis Jones.
