Attila is a 16 year old boy, who went through a difficult operation in November 2022. He had a wish from the Magic Lamp to be able to go to Monza, to Formula 1.

Right at the beginning of the flight, Attila was amazed, because before the other passengers boarded, Wizz Air staff showed him the plane from the outside and inside. He could also sit in the cockpit and ask all his questions to the pilots until the other passengers took their seats on the plane. Attila even received a gift package from the Wizz Air team, of which he was very glad.

After arriving in Milan on Friday morning and taking our rooms at the hotel, we immediately went into Monza for the Formula 1 venue. There, Attila's ear-length smile could not be removed. On Friday there was free training. Attila was very excited to follow the Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1 training circles.

We had excellent seats during the three days at the race track, we were sitting in a covered stand just in front of the home straight, and we even saw the last curve perfectly.

We spent most of our Saturday with sightseeing as Attila had never been to Milan yet and wanted to see it. We climbed to the top of Milan Cathedral, visited the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping center, walked through the charming streets of Milan and landed at Sforzescoi Castle. In the meantime we had lunch and visited one of the best ice cream shop in Milan.

Finally came the third day, the most exciting day, Sunday, the day of the race. We got up early and were already at the Formula 1 track at 8:30 in the morning. We watched the Formula 3 race, then walked over to the Fans-zone, where we could see old Formula 1 cars and Attila could try different games. Then we watched the Formula 2 race, and then the Formula 1 drivers paraded to the spectators. Exactly at 3 p.m., the competitors started and we watched with great excitement as they raced past us.

Although Attila was rooting for Mercedes, especially for Hamilton, who did not perform so well in the race, Attila enjoyed every minute of the race. After the race was over, the organizers opened the track to spectators, so we could go down to the starting line and we were within arm's reach of the grandstand where the award ceremony was held. We celebrated the top three with the crowd together. After the event, we still had the opportunity to walk over to the old Formula 1 track, which was famous for the fact that part of the track was tilted, on which Attila slid down.

We ended our wonderful journey with a dinner where we were talked about the weekend's events.
