The 2007 Italian GP Preview
Fresh from their one-two in Turkey, Ferrari arrive in Italy willing to keep their momentum going and dominate McLaren on home ground. Tom Keeble analyses the prospects ahead of the thirteenth race of the season
The circus heads to Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, home of the tifosi, who are all hoping to see Ferrari continue to close in on McLaren in the world championship. With four drivers capable of winning, there could be a tougher fight in prospect than the locals wish for.
Analysis
The Italian Grand Prix is regarded as the last remaining true, low downforce circuit: the long straights and fast corners ensuring that low drag is dominant. With sizeable kerbs, aggressive driving is a requirement, though being too aggressive will result in broken suspensions. Mistakes yield overtaking opportunities, particularly as the low downforce settings mean that grip is at a premium.
