2006 Italian GP Technical Review
Craig Scarborough analyses the technical aspects of the Italian Grand Prix weekend, including the unique requirements of the Monza circuit, new aero elements seen on the various cars, and more
It seems fitting that the Italian Grand Prix is the last circuit on the European calendar, as the classic track, situated just north of the city of Milan, is the last of the historic super-fast Formula One circuits.
Monza stands alone in F1 as the only track that demands its very own set-up for the cars. This is down to the track's layout, which all about long straights and open corners, punctuated only by a few low speed chicanes. As the track demands such a unique set-up, teams are allowed to test at the track in the week before the race - the only circuit allowed such an exemption.
