“In terms of driving style, Monza is an incredibly interesting mixture. On the one hand you have to be very harsh with your car by being super-aggressive over the kerbs, but you also have to treat it with respect by being very careful with the throttle because of the low downforce.”

“Turn 1 is all about braking. You don’t want to out-brake yourself, which can easily happen because the approach is so fast - 340kph (211mph) - and you then have to use the kerbs a lot.”

“You must make sure that you make a clean exit because the long straight around Curva Grande follows before you’re back on the brakes from high speed for the second chicane. The braking area is bumpy and you then have to jump over the kerbs very aggressively, which is fun.”

“You’re in fourth gear for the two Lesmos, which are both very slippery.”

“The first one is slightly banked in your favour, so you have mid-corner understeer followed by exit oversteer. It’s then very important to have a good rhythm through the second Lesmo because it’s very easy to overdrive - and underdrive - the car and you need a good exit.”
