Formula 1 and pasta manufacturer Barilla transformed the Monza circuit's main straight into a dining venue on Thursday evening. The event, titled La Tavolata, featured a 100-meter-long table set directly on the track surface to accommodate 200 guests from the racing paddock. Attendees included Yuki Tsunoda, the Racing Bulls team, and Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. Three-Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura prepared the menu for the gathering, which was designed to highlight the collaborative effort required for team success. Participants emphasized that the dinner served as a rare opportunity during a race weekend to foster relationships and teamwork away from the technical demands of the competition. The event precedes the upcoming Italian GP at the same venue.
