Analysis
The circus heads to Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, home of the tifosi, who are all hoping to see Ferrari's Michael Schumacher close his ten-point deficit in the world championship to Fernando Alonso.
There is something to be said for keeping variety in the Formula One calendar, and the Italian Grand Prix certainly does that: long straights and fast corners, combined with sizeable kerbs leave this is the last remaining true, low downforce circuit, one that requires aggressive driving, break-neck cornering speeds and significant challenge to the teams, yet still offers overtaking opportunities.
