Monza 2020 PreRace Thread

Same situation for me (living in Germany, however, I am probably more flexible to plan on short notice...). At least for travelers from the EU, borders to Switzerland and Italy are partly open now or will be opened latest mid of June. Visitors from Asia also don't get any EU visa right now, at least that's what we have been told by the embassy in Bangkok when asking about a friend who wants to visit us in August. However no idea about rules for US citizens...
I have also read in the news that all European races would be without spectators, but haven't found any official statement by the organizers (Monza race track) or F1. The organizers have put ticket sales "on hold until further notifications by the authorities", according to their website. I think they don't want to close the door yet (maybe some tough negotiations behind closed doors). But would consider it rather unlikely to happen.

 

The border between Italy and Switzerland is only partially open (or partially closed). There is a Swiss directive that says the border will be full open again on June 15, depending how is the coronavirus situation. Since numbers seem to be OK, I think it will go ahead.

 

Website of Monza racetrack as of today:

IMPORTANT NOTICE
to Formula 1 Gran Premio d’Italia 2020 ticket holders
Dear customers, on June 4th ACI has entered into an important agreement with Formula 1, as a result of which the race of Formula 1 Gran Premio d’Italia at Autodromo Nazionale Monza is confirmed on 6th September 2020; at the moment, the current health emergency, however, does not allow us to grant that this edition of Formula 1 Gran Premio d’Italia can take place with audience admittance; if competent authorities provisions permit, we will shortly consider, together with F1, the possibility of allowing a limited audience admittance, also taking all necessary health safety standard. We will let you know as quickly as possible, throughout the website Monzanet.it, the decisions will be taken in this regard

 

I won't count on that. Italian politicians are the most disorganized there are.

 

We already canceled our trip to the UK. No GP and no two weeks in Polzeath. 2020 pretty much stinks so far.

 

I think we should be happy that we are still among the living.....

 

The way Ferrari is performing, it's best no fans show up at Monza.

 

Pre Race Binotto statement: This will be a difficult race for us... blah blah blah...look at my cute selfie

Post Race Binotto Statement: This was a difficult race for us. It’s not the performance we want. Our drivers did a good job...blah blah blah...look at my cute selfie

 

5 more races to go until Monza.

Binotto may be fixed about his future before that, or at least the speculations won't stop.

 

I speculate that’s also his statement for every other race this year. LOL

 

The way the US is going I can’t see EU countries reducing their quarantine requirements anytime soon. (Switzerland is 10 days quarantine; and I bet they do it properly like Aus)

So unlikely I’d guess you could have a decent holiday; unless you include and like 10 days confined to your hotel room!
