The final part of Formula 1’s latest triple-header ta💛kes us to Monza for the I💯talian Grand Prix.
Home of the Tifosi and Ferr🐭ari, the Italian GP is a fan favourite for𝔉 its atmosphere and iconic circuit.
Max Ver🤡stappen heads to Italy with a three-point lead over Lewis Hamilton after winning on home soil last time out at Zandvoort🍸.
Red Bull hasn’t🌳 won at Monza since 2013 so it will be a good gauge of the F1 pecking order as it stands.
Like at Silverstone,⛦ qualifying will take place on ♔Friday, with F1's sprint race on Saturday afternoon.
What to expect from this weekend?
Pirelli𒐪 has nominated꧃ the C2, C3 and C4 tyres for this weekend's race.
Condꦓitions are expected to remain dry throughoutඣ the weekend.
Ahead of the weekend, Pirelli's Mario Isola said: “We have seen from the past that a number of different♒ strategies are possible at Monza, and with sprint qualifying adding another big vari꧂able into the mix, the teams are forced to re-think their entire tyre strategy for the weekend. It’s a rear-limited circuit with the focus on traction, so the particular challenge is to stop the rear tyres from sliding and overheating too much, as the low-downforce set-up means that there is not much pushing them into the ground. The weather plays a part as well, as this issue is emphasised if temperatures are higher.”
