Pirelli\u2019s 500 Grands Prix in the F1 World Championship<\/strong>\u201d, curated by Fondazione Pirelli and published by Marsilio Arte, celebrates the milestone of Pirelli\u2019s 500 Formula 1 World Championship Grands Prix through a rich selection of photographs, many drawn from the Pirelli Historical Archive. The volume will be presented on Friday, <strong>June 12<\/strong>, during the <strong>2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix<\/strong> \u2014 in the very place where Formula 1 takes shape, corner after corner \u2014 in the presence of Marco Tronchetti Provera, Executive Vice Chairman of Pirelli, together with numerous guests from the worlds of sport and journalism.<\/p>\n<p>During the event, speakers\u2019 contributions will offer reflections on the world of Formula 1 and <strong>Pirelli\u2019s relationship with motorsport<\/strong>, each bringing their own testimony and experience. A journey across eras, circuits, technical and historical details. Set within the rhythm and atmosphere of race weekend, the presentation will portray Formula 1 as a powerful form of contemporary imagination and as a <strong>path marked by records, victories, and innovation<\/strong> \u2014 one that opens onto future chapters with the same passion that shaped its beginnings in 1950 at Silverstone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Stir of the Soul\u201d tells a story from within the story of Formula 1 itself: research as an open-air workshop, the technological evolution of tyres, and the role of the people \u2014 on and off the track \u2014 who make the spectacle of speed possible. The photographic sequence is edited with <strong>cinematic rhythm<\/strong>, alternating faces and details, circuits and action, backstage moments and figures, culminating in final dashboards featuring statistics and infographics. From the dawn of Formula 1 in the <strong>1950s<\/strong> to the era of the <strong>1980s<\/strong>, with unforgettable drivers such as Ayrton Senna and Nelson Piquet, through to the most <strong>recent challenges<\/strong>, highlighted by an original reportage by photographer Darren Heath dedicated to the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, serving as a bridge between memory and contemporary reality.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sweeping narrative in images and words spanning 75 years of Pirelli\u2019s presence in Formula 1, portraying competition as an extreme laboratory of technology, decision-making, and corporate culture. \u201cA Stir of the Soul.
