The Italian Grand Prix at Monza has a long and
illustrious history, fifteen miles north-east of Milan, Monza was built
in 1922. The Italian Grand Prix has been staged here for all but one year
since the World Championship was introduced in 1950. The circuit is the
second fastest on the calendar, and requires minimal downforce and high
power.This circuit has a 5.8 km long circuit and a total of 53 laps has
to be completed to declare a winner. Most teams are on the hard tyres and
a one-stop strategy, Several drivers go off under braking at the first
and second chicane and a
couple also
go wide on the exit of the Lesmo corners.1998 saw the ultimate result for
Ferrari, with Michael and Schumacher finishing one-two. The modern day
autodromo combines fast, sweeping corners and long straights, with Parabolica
and Lesmo two of the more famous. Downforce requirements are normally
low with stiff settings on the car to help ride some of the big bumps that
the circuit is notorious for. The low wing levels make grip poor in the
low-speed turns, which can create problems for drivers who brake too late
into them.

this circuit due to the understeer requies lots
