Drivers are said to have been contacted and asked to submit their 2025 tax returns, as well as to engage with Italian officials either directly or through representatives to clarify their position.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities are also understood to be examining earlier seasons, requesting detailed information on contracts and sponsorship agreements to establish whether income linked to racing in Italy was properly declared.<\/p>\n<p>The potential consequences are significant. Under Italian law, unpaid tax exceeding \u20ac50,000 can amount to a criminal offence, carrying the risk of prosecution alongside substantial financial penalties.<\/p>\n<p>The review spans all recent Italian Grand Prix venues, including Monza, Imola and Mugello, following a mandate from the Court of Auditors. This widens the scope of the investigation and reinforces its formal status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Use code\u00a0F1TICKETSBCL20\u00a0and get\u00a020 EUR off\u00a0your 2026 Barcelona F1 ticket order until\u00a026 April.
