The Scuderia Ferrari HP Street Spectacle Hits Milan Today

Today, 6 March 2025, fans of Scuderia Ferrari HP are in for a thrilling experience as the team makes its much-anticipated return to the heart of Milan for the first time in six years. 

Piazza Castello is set to be the vibrant setting for the “Drivers’ Presentation by UniCredit” event, offering a rare opportunity to see Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, and the Scuderia team up close before they head to Melbourne for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

This special event, organised in collaboration with Scuderia Ferrari HP’s Premium Partner, UniCredit, and supported by the Milan municipality, promises an electric atmosphere, with thousands of fans expected to turn out in support of the team. The last time Ferrari staged an event in Milan was six years ago in Piazza Duomo, celebrating the 90th anniversary of the team’s foundation. Now, excitement is at an all-time high as the team returns to engage with its passionate supporters.

One of the standout moments of the day will be a thrilling street demo, with Leclerc and Hamilton behind the wheel of two Ferrari Formula 1 cars. They will navigate a specially designated route through Piazza Castello, Viale Girolamo Gadio, Via Pietro Paleocapa, and Via Marco Minghetti.

Leclerc will take to the track in an SF90, the car that saw him secure his first F1 victories in 2019, while Hamilton will command an SF21, Ferrari’s 2021 challenger. Accompanied by the expert Ferrari F1 Clienti mechanics, the drivers will put on a breathtaking display featuring rapid acceleration, high-speed pit stops, and dynamic burnouts.

The festivities kick off at 4pm with a DJ set on the main stage in Piazza Castello, setting the tone for an unforgettable event. At 5pm, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna and UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel will take to the stage, hosted by Sky Sport Italia presenters Carlo Vanzini and Vicky Piria.

The action-packed street demo will follow, with live commentary from Vanzini and Ivan Capelli, who are known for their expert analysis during Formula 1 Grands Prix.

Keeping with the motorsport theme, after the demo, Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur will join the presenters to discuss the upcoming season and engage with the crowd. A major highlight will be the arrival of Leclerc and Hamilton on stage, where they will answer questions from fans, including dedicated members of the Scuderia Ferrari Clubs. Among the audience will also be UniCredit guests and employees from across Europe.

Adding to the spectacle, the stage will feature an impressive display of Ferrari Formula 1 cars, including the one showcased at the team’s London launch event on 18 February. Also on display will be two iconic machines from the team’s history: the legendary F2004, in which Michael Schumacher secured his fifth title with Ferrari, and the 2006 248 F1, the last car Schumacher raced for the team. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Schumacher’s first world championship victory with Ferrari, making this tribute even more special.

Entry to Piazza Castello is free, though space is limited and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Large screens placed around the surrounding streets will ensure fans can follow every moment of the event. Those unable to attend in person need not miss out, as the event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in Italy and streamed via NOW (Italy only).

With Milan set to be draped in Ferrari red, this promises to be a day filled with exhilarating action, passion, and excitement as the Scuderia prepares for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
