CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ltxcn.top's LIVE F1 COVE🔜RAGE OF THE 20🐲21 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX
T♛he final part of Formula 1’s latest triple-header takes us to Monza for the Italian Grand🐻 Prix.
Home of the 🐎Tifosi and Ferrari, the Italian GP is a fan favourite for its atmosphere and iconic circuit♚.
Max Verstappen heads to Italy with a three-point lead over Lewis Haꦉmilt𓃲on after winning on home soil last time out at Zandvoort.
Red Bull hasn’t won at Monza༺ since 2013 so it will be a good gauge of the F1 pecking order as it stands.
Like at&n🥃bsp;Silverstone, qualifying will take place on Friday, with F1's sprint race on Saturday afternoon.
What to expect from this weekend?
Pirelli has nominated the C2, C3 and C4 tyres fo🦋r this weekend's race.
Conditions are 🅰expe🐲cted to remain dry throughout the weekend.
Ahead of the weekend, Pirelli's Mario Isola said: “We have seen from the past that a number of different strategies are possible at Monza, and with sprint qualifying adding another big variable into the mix, the teams are forced to re-think their entire tyre strategy for the weekend. It’s a rear-limited circuit with the focus on traction, so the particular challenge is to stop the rear tyres from sliding and overheating too much, as the low-downforce set-up means that there is not much pushing them into the ground. The weather plays a part as well, as this issue is em♊phasised if temperatures are higher.”
