They shouldn't be too difficult to spot! I'm going to Monza on Sunday, will be interesting to see them up close.
Me too. I have promised myself a trip to Monza for years. I think Ferrari will be very lucky to beat Red Bull no matter what colour they are.

I’m just going to miss it, I’ll be in Modena & Maranello a week after the F1, I might run into Charles or Carlos at Ristorante Montana :D - I’ll drop in to see the Panini Collection (it’s actually free, just just need to book in advance)

Unfortunately they don't have a tour on the days I'm in Modena for customers and the paid ones are full too.... but at least I get to see the Panini collection. I've seen quite a few factories so its a pity but no disaster. I need to drop by at the store though as they (or UPS) returned my order to sender without cause and without refunding me. They don't even have a telephone number and they react extremely slowly to emails. :mad:

Ah shame. If you go to the Ferrari museum in Modena the Maser factory and showroom is about 300m away.. don't expect all the models though. When I was there there was a QP amd a 2 Levantes.

Just back from Monza. What a terrible ending. Very disappointing although frankly Max was quicker through the whole race and didn't need Ferraris own goal of the extra pit stop.
I love F1 and enjoy going to the Grand Prix. I have looked forward to going to Monza for years and what a disappointment not just the race but the dreadful fan organization. In order to buy food or drink you had first to purchase "tokens" the queue to buy these was over an hour at times and then the only let you have 45 Euros worth the you reached the front! Another 1/2 hour queue for a beer, dreadful. No cash or card alternative accepted. Lots of very sober fed up Brits, Dutch and others even the Italians thought the whole system was mad!

Sounds as mad as the motorway services there.. you queue at a till to pay for food (that you have to remember the name of).. then queue again at the actual food counter, hand over your recipt and they give you your dinner!

But that does have great health benefits in persuading you to not buy **** processed foods that are full of fat and entrails served by a spotty youth with no hygiene sense.
