The opening ceremony and welcoming speech took place from 8:00 PM to 8:40 PM, where the FIA President and two other high-ranking officials took the stage to welcome the attendees.

After that, a short montage video showcased the highlights of the season across all racing divisions. These highlights included spectacular overtakes and the most lethal crashes.

Luca's crash in Riyadh was displayed, and he found it amusing. Even Max's crash in Barcelona and the most recent one in Le Castellet were highlighted, as if to haunt him further, reminding him of what could've been the races he needed to win in order to top the Standings forever.

Most of the clips were sourced from the F1 season, showcasing a professional display of formula racing and a huge difference in the efficiency of their cars.

After that came the dinner service. A great multi-course meal was served to everyone as a certain lady on stage performed a somber live melody.
