| Formula One, and Pirelli, are preparing for the last round of the only hat-trick this season. After what was seen in Belgium and Zandvoort, now it's Italy's turn, with the Monza Grand Prix. And, also for this weekend, there was no shortage the selected compounds da Pirelliother than those used seven days ago in Holland. THE TIRES ON THE TRACK The three central compounds of the range were chosen for the Monza GP. C2 like P Zero White hard, C3 P Zero Yellow medium and P Zero Red soft (C4). Eliminating the natural understeer tendency of current single-seaters is a challenge on the slow corners of Monza. For this reason a strong rear is necessary to obtain perfect balance on fast sections. Traction is important to guarantee an optimal passage from the slower and more technical parts of the circuit to the straights to be covered at maximum speed. Another famous feature of Monza, in addition to the curbs on the chicanes. The low downforce settings, with a specific low drag package, mean that the focus is more on the mechanical grip of the tyres. |
Pirelli, Isola: "It will be a great event"
To present the Monza GP, the words of the head of the Motorsport technical area of Pirelli, Mario Isola, were of course not lacking:
“It is an important event for us, we are celebrating 150 years of history with the home Grand Prix, in the same year in which Monza celebrates its first century. We look forward to this great motorsport celebration and are proud that the most sophisticated and efficient single-seaters in the history of Formula 1 are powered by Pirelli tyres. The Monza racetrack is known for its high speeds with some corners in particular where it is important for the car to have perfect balance. This year's tires should experience less overheating at the rear on a circuit where the single-seaters race with low aerodynamic load, taking advantage of the slipstream effect of those in front. Furthermore, unlike last year, there will be no Sprint format and the teams will arrive at the grand prix with a little less information than last time and the strategic approach will be a little different”.
