We’re looking forward to an exciting sprint race on our home territory tomorrow – the grand prix should theoretically last less than an hour and twenty minutes – with Monza living up to its reputation as the ‘temple of speed’. We’ve seen top speeds in excess of 350kph during qualifying, which means that the structure of the tyre is the aspect that is most challenged here: wear and degradation is going to be very low on both compounds while the surface is not at all abrasive, which means that we’re looking at a one stop race tomorrow. From a tyre point of view, it should be a reasonably straightforward race. The timing of that pit stop is going to be a key factor in the race strategy: we expect the drivers to go as long as possible on the medium tyre, but the stint length will be affected in inverse proportion to track temperature.
