Welcome to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza — AKA the "Temple of Speed," located in the royal park of Monza, just north of Milan, and host to the Italian Grand Prix.
Monza is the fastest circuit in Formula 1, where long straights, high-speed corners, and a minimal downforce setup combine to make a true test of power.
It is one of the sport's heritage tracks with a spot in the inaugural 1950 World Championship, and its rich history stretches even further back to 1922 as the world's third purpose-built circuit.
Circuit Overview:
Today's Monza circuit measures 5.793 km (3.600 miles) and has 11 turns, beginning with the heaviest braking zone at the Rettifilo chicane that slows the field down for the flat-out, sweeping Curva Grande.
Sector 2 demands precision through the Roggia chicane and Lesmo corners as the track blasts down to Sector 3's high-speed Variante Ascari
A lap of Monza culminates with the iconic Parabolica, leading onto the main straight where a quick exit to maximise slipstreaming opportunities is key to advancing through the order or defending from those behind.

PIT to ALEX
P7, lovely job mate – well done! ALEX to PIT: YEEEEESSS! Yes! That was a nice one. PIT to ALEX: It was a great stint on the Hard. Good pace on the Medium as well, well done. Well deserved. JV to ALEX: Well done, Alex. Really impressive seventh – massive points for us. Well done, brilliantly driven that whole race long, again. Just showing that we have a fast car, we're gonna have to get Quali right. But that's on us. Let's work together. ALEX to PIT: Amazing when we're in the long runs, we get some tyres underneath us. The tyres were really nice to drive. Nice result, Thank you, well done.

PIT to CARLOS
That's P11, .5 off Hadjar. P11, it was difficult with the energy, different PU usage than we have compared to Friday, we have a bit less energy, that's probably caught you out. It was strong, it's really a shame we cannot get points. Without contact with Bearman, that would have been points. CARLOS to PIT: How did Alex finish P7? PIT to CARLOS: So basically, by extending, he had more pace. So he was able to gap them and exit ahead of them. So he finished 8 seconds ahead of Bortoleto. CARLOS to PIT: Ahh, I knew that was the best strategy. I don't know why I didn't push for that more. PIT to CARLOS: Copy, we learn together. We also had some damage on the car, around 10 to 11 points to the contact, which didn't help. Without the contact, the damage, that was points. So, good pace. JV to CARLOS: Thanks for being a team player today. We're not getting it right in Quali, that's on us. Your pace today was brilliant and even with that you were fighting a P9, so well done.
