The Road To Championship Begins. 6

5 p.m. in Parco Di Monza, Monza, Italy— all fifteen Formula 2 teams arrived with their fleet of trucks, consisting of car carriers and engineering trucks alone. A simple event like the qualifying session didn't require as much inventory as a full race.

The circuit itself was quiet, stretching as far and wide as it could with empty grandstands. However, the outside of the circuit—the surrounding locations of the park—was far from quiet and empty.

Many people had gathered in numbers that were surprising for just a qualifying activity. Even though they wouldn't be let anywhere near the streets leading to the circuit, just the idea of being close to the action and even hearing the roar of the engines was thrilling.

Additionally, there were screens set up to broadcast the qualifying session. So, everyone was taking their seats under the mellow blue sky.
