Italian Grand Prix 2011, Monza Circuit - Race 13/19

monzaf.jpg


Monza is regarded by many as the embodiment of Formula One racing. Not only is it a fantastic example of a track that combines speed with skill, it also has a heart and soul all of its own. It has seen some of the finest races of all time, but also some of the sport's worst accidents. The names of great drivers and the sounds of engines from years gone by linger in the grand old trees surrounding the track in the royal park.

Work began on the circuit in 1922 and was completed in under six months. After Brooklands in the UK and Indianapolis in the USA, it was the third permanent race track in existence. With a banked oval incorporated into the design of the road racing circuit, the total track length stood at a whopping 10 kilometres.

The list of famous victories and horrifying crashes is long, and all combine to make Monza one of the most magical places on the Formula One calendar. For many there is nowhere that encapsulates the sport better than this circuit. The Italians call it 'La Pista Magica', the magic track, a description few would disagree with.

Hehe nice edit, I caught you.

Can't wait, I'm hoping I can watch practice as well tomorrow. It's been a while since I've been able to watch it properly.

What's the price? (can't check at the minute)

I have the physical copy pre-ordered at about £24.

edit - £26.99 inc. the pre-order discount. Hmmm...

a bit of chatter on f1technical that the teams could gear for no DRS and just use the drs for better acceleration rather than more top speed. Otherwise the car will be heavily limited for the rest of the lap.

Also there possibility that some may run without DRS altogether since the rules don't say that the car HAS to have it, just that it can.

Interesting :)
 
I guess with the skinny wings, it wouldn't be shedding that much drag compared to other tracks. Should mix things up a bit. Button last year went for more downforce with the F-Duct (seems so long ago :D) and Hamilton went for less downforce with it but was quicker IIRC.

A neat idea - can understand why they are thinking this given the size of the zones.
