Pausini Brings Music to Monza's Starting Grid for Italian Grand Prix
Italian singer Laura Pausini will perform live on the Monza starting grid before the 2026 Italian Grand Prix. This marks her first appearance at an F1 event, as she has attended races before but never performed during a Grand Prix weekend.
Pausini's performance is part of Formula 1's F1 Grid Gigs entertainment format, presented by American Express. The initiative aims to turn the final build-up to a Grand Prix into a live entertainment experience combining music with the atmosphere of the starting grid.
Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasized the significance of bringing Pausini to the Italian Grand Prix, highlighting Monza's unique place in Formula 1 history due to its passion and energy associated with the circuit. The event will be broadcast internationally through F1's social media channels.
