For Ferrari, the absence of the Tifosi at Monza this weekend may actually be a blessing. Amid Ferrari’s deep competitive slump, Sebastian Vettel was asked if he thinks the wildly partisan Italian spectators might actually boo the fabled team. “So if I had a choice I’d still bring the fans back, but right now it’s not a choice for us. Indeed, fabled Monza will be a strange spectacle as a ‘ghost race’ – but the spectator-less trend appears to be slowly changing. “At the moment, around 100,000 spectators could watch the race in compliance with the distancing rules,” said promoter Intercity’s boss Vural Ak. If the pandemic numbers become worse, the race can still take place without spectators.”.
