What makes Autodromo Nazionale Monza hard to predict
Surface
Smooth asphalt
Rubber build-up
Grip improves steadily over the weekend as rubber is laid down on the racing line.
How the racing line moves
The line through the chicanes tightens as grip builds, rewarding late braking and aggressive kerb usage.
Track evolution
Low tyre degradation combined with high evolution typically favours a one-stop strategy.
Lap times
Very low lap times reflect Monza's high average speeds and minimal downforce configuration.
