The first Indianapolis 500 concluded for the Andretti Global cars supported by Mapei as official sponsor. Kyle Kirkwood achieved his best career result at the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 with a seventh-place finish, showing great resilience after a pit stop penalty. Marco Andretti, on the other hand, was making some progress moving up from his 19th starting position but ending his race on lap 114 after spinning into the barriers.

In the new exhibition and multifunctional centre, designed by Cloud 9 and located inside this magnificent structure by Santiago Calatrava, an adhesive system by Mapei was employed to create a colourful ceramic covering.

Ambrogio Beccaria triumphed in the historic solo regatta The Transat CIC. Starting on 28th April from Lorient in France, the ocean navigator finished the race on 10th May after 11 days and 16 hours of sailing, maintaining an average speed of 11.70 knots.
