The day’s celebrations began with Kimi travelling to Imola, where he met local authorities before greeting the crowd through the city centre in his father’s GT3 car. The programme then continued in Faenza, where he greeted fans in Piazza del Popolo and met with the city’s Mayor.
From there, the Italian driver travelled on to Brisighella, Lorenzo Bandini’s hometown, where he received a warm welcome from the public in Piazza Carducci and was formally presented with the 33rd Trofeo Bandini in Piazza Marconi, following speeches from local dignitaries and event representatives. The festivities concluded with an official dinner.
