The Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix is the only event that has been held every year without interruption since the creation of the championship in 1950, along with the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
The race has always taken place on the Monza circuit. With the exception of the year 1980, when the Grand Prix was held in Imola. The Monza track is currently under renovation to increase its safety level.<\/p>\n
It’s an atypical layout. Identifiable at first glance, it gives pride of place to speed with its four sections of straight lines or very fast curves interspersed with 3 chicanes. This is where average speeds send statistics soaring.<\/p>\n
Thus, the 53 loops of 5.79km are covered in just 1h15. This allows Charles Leclerc to win at an average speed of almost 244km\/h in 2019.<\/p>\n

These are compounds ranging from C2 (harder in white) to C4 (softer in red).<\/p>\n Indeed, even if this track does not include any banked turns, the tires will be heavily solicited during braking and acceleration.<\/p>\n We must not forget the parabolic turn at the end of the track that will put the Italian tires to the test, lap after lap.<\/p>\n \n |
