Formula One Italian Grand Prix 2021 What to Watch
The team travels south to Milan and the renowned Autodromo di Nazionale Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, which comes just after the Dutch Grand Prix. The 5.793km track speeds through a breathtaking parkland setting on the outskirts of one of Europe's fashion capitals. It is known as the "Temple of Speed" because of its lengthy straights that provide some of the quickest racing in the calendar, accented by multiple chicanes and sweeping curves.
This weekend, the Tifosi, the fiercely devoted local supporters who were absent during the event's 2020 run, will return to the grandstands and are guaranteed to electrify the atmosphere.
The Italian Grand Prix is still one of the most recognizable races of the year and will surely offer another incredible show in 2021. It is one of just two Grands Prix that have been held consistently each season since the World Championship was introduced in 1950.
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is an excellent location to round up this tripleheader run of events, according to Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance. The circuit's high speed typically results in a thrilling race and a tight qualifying session. Even though this year's event has a somewhat different format—it's the season's second Sprint Qualifying event—there's no reason to doubt that it will be another exciting weekend.
The long straights inevitably dominate the car setup, but the corners, kerbs and change of direction through the Ascari complex can’t be ignored. Balancing all these requirements in a single free practice session before the cars are placed in Parc Ferme will be an interesting challenge for all the teams. Additionally, like Silverstone, the qualifying session takes place in the early evening, which will change the tyre behaviour and require a slightly different approach.
This weekend we have the middle of the Pirelli compound range, with each driver getting two sets of the Prime, four sets of the Option tyre and six sets of the Qualifying compound. One of the key decisions facing the teams will be which compound to use for the Sprint Qualifying session, and which to save for the all-important Grand Prix on Sunday.
Which compound to save for Sunday's crucial Grand Prix and which to deploy for the Sprint Qualifying session will be among the teams' most essential choices.
We had a great time at this European tripleheader, had some success in Spa, and made good use of the FW43B at the new Zandvoort circuit. We are eager to see George complete his time with us on a high note, starting this weekend in Monza, after learning this week that he will be joining the Mercedes team for the 2022 season.
George Russell I can't wait for Monza. Running the minimum downforce, which is the lowest of the season, is always fraught with difficulties. Since we've only participated in one Sprint Qualifying event before and will only have one practice session to get the car set up, it will be a little more difficult. However, I'm happy that we'll get two chances to achieve it with Sprint Qualifying and the race since Monza is a fantastic track to race at.
Nicholas Latifi: The crew has been really busy lately, and Monza will be the final round in the triple header. The track itself is among the most historic on the calendar, and the car has a really special feeling due to the low drag and downforce, which makes it ideal for racing. Hopefully, we can have a successful weekend because I believe we've made significant progress on the car since we were there last year. It will be intriguing because this will be our second attempt at using the new Sprint Qualifying structure.
