Formula One Tuscan Grand Prix 2020 What to Watch
Pirelli and MAXF1 provide you with all the details on the track and important tire and car setup factors. Mugello will host the Formula 1 event for the first time in history, and it will also be Ferrari's jubilee 1000th F1 race on the track that they have owned since 1988.
Mugello, which is situated in the Tuscan hills, has a rather narrow track, several bumps, and a lot of elevation changes. This gives the circuit, which was first opened in its current configuration in 1974 but has roots in a road course from 1914, a more vintage vibe.
Throughout the 5.2-kilometer track, there aren't any particularly tight chicanes or large braking zones; instead, the 15 bends are primarily medium to high speed.
Probably taken flat-out in a Formula 1 car at speeds of about 260 or 270 km/h, the right-hand Arrabbiata bends are the two fastest on the track.
It is a very technical layout because each corner is important for a different reason. For example, the Biondetti corners at the end of the lap, which nearly form a natural chicane, are essential as a starting point for the next lap, while the Luco, Poggio Secco, and Materassi complex at the beginning of the lap is all about maintaining the highest apex speed and ideal racing line.
Mugello's renownedly harsh asphalt puts additional strain on the tires. The last time the track was fully resurfaced was in 2011.
Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari now hold the (unofficial) F1 lap record, which was achieved in 2004 at 1m18.704s and is expected to be broken this year. Mugello, which is more famous for its motorcycles, has never hosted a Formula 1 race, although it is a recognized location for F1 testing.
With only 3,000 spectators permitted at the second of three Italian Formula One races this season, fans will be admitted to a grand prix weekend for the first time this year.
"Mugello is a great addition to the World Championship schedule, and it holds special meaning for Pirelli because we ran our Formula 1 tires there for the first time in August 2010, just two months after we signed a deal to supply the sport starting in 2011," Pirelli's Mario Isola said.
We chose the hardest compounds because it's a stunning and extremely fast circuit that will undoubtedly put a lot of strain on tires. Like every new location, Mugello is a complete blank canvas in terms of strategy and somewhat of a mystery to the majority of the drivers.
"Free practice will be especially important to gather as much data as possible, and teams will probably split their programs to learn as much as they can about every tire in every situation."
From our perspective, we have also been able to prepare by examining statistics from previous championship races that have taken place in Mugello. We are thrilled to be the title sponsor, and we congratulate Ferrari on reaching the amazing milestone of 1000 races. This is just one of the things that makes the team so famous in our sport and deserving of this appropriate celebration.
Pirelli set minimum starting pressures for the front tires at Mugello between those for Spa and Monza, at 1,725 bar. They also permitted lower starting pressures for the rear tires than the two previous tracks in Belgium and Italy, at 1.4145 bar.
Because there are no slow corners that put a lot of strain on the rear tires at high accelerations, the Mugello places a lot more strain on the front tires. Pirelli permits camber values that are identical to those found in the Monza, which are -3.00 degrees for the front tires and -2.00 degrees for the rear tires.
Ferrari tested the two-year-old SF71H in Mugello prior to the start of this season, when it was unknown if Mugello would be on the schedule this year. The final test with all teams (apart from HRT) was held in May 2012, and Grosjean of Lotus had the fastest time, coming in at 1:21.035.
Webber went on to say that, in terms of driving enjoyment, 10 laps on Mugello is equivalent to 1000 laps on Abu Dhabi. Vettel then added that it is unfortunate that Mugello is not on the F1 schedule because it is a fantastic track with many quick turns.
On February 17, 1999, Ferrari and Minardi conducted the first Formula One test on Mugello. Schumacher in a Ferrari F399 set the fastest time, with a time of 1:26.704; tests continued annually until 2009, when Valentino Rossi tested Ferrari's F2008 as well, with a best time of 1:22.550.
In 2002, Mugello's F1 usage peaked when Ferrari used it for up to 46 test days in a year, with Sauber and McLaren contributing two extra days apiece.
Rubens Barrichello, who set the best lap time in a Ferrari F2004 on February 9, 2004, holds the circuit record. This year's vehicles should easily surpass it by a few seconds.
