Why would they? Zanardi was never much cop in F1.

The Indy lot are far more likely to say or do something, he was much more one of "theirs" than he was F1.

Because it would be a nice gesture to maybe have some stickers on the cars of congratulations... its not about "not being much cop" in F1 but about celebrating someone who was injured in motorsport who is an inspiration.....
the fact he's Italian and its at Monza is why i wonder if they will do something to honour his acheivement.....thats my point.

Agreed..... even if say a driver had a sticker on their car or helmet...

Nothing stopping the teams themselves having something on the cars or drivers on their helmets. The motorsport community, even when it comes to F1, is closer than people realise.
