The Italian Grand Prix(12th round of the 2013 Formula 1 World Championship) - Autodromo di Monza
6/7/8 September 2013 Monza is a legendary race track for F1 fans. It was built more than ninety years ago at the park of the Royal Villa in Monza and is Europe's oldest permanent circuit still in use. The first Grand Prix was held here in 1922. After the start of the F1 world championship (1950), the Italian Grand Prix has been always raced at Monza (except in 1980, when it was held at Imola) and Monza has hosted more Grand Prix than any other circuit. Monza race track is the fastest circuit on the F1 calendar with an average speed of around 250 km/h in qualifying and demands the development of a special aerodynamic setup, reducing the drag with a very low downforce package in order to attain top speeds of around 340 km/h. In this way with less downforce, corners such as the two Lesmos curves and the famous Parabolica: a long and open corner that generates big lateral forces, remain a challenging for pilots. The cars spend 75 percent of the lap at full throttle. Monza is also an enormous challenge for engines and brakes. At the first chicane, the cars brake from 340kph to 80kph in just 150 metres. Thanks to its special characteristics, the circuit of Monza could be the most difficult track for the Red Bull. Pirelli’s tyre compounds for the Italian Grand Prix are: medium (white stripe) and hard (orange stripe). The same combination as seen at Spa Franchorchamps 2 weeks ago. Two drs zones: the first on the start-finish straight while the second zone will be on the straight that runs between the trees before a fast chicane called the Variante Ascari, a left-right-left combination taken at high speed. Winners, Podium and pole position (last 3 editions) 2010: 1° Alonso – Ferrari (2° Button and 3°Massa) – fastest lap: Alonso – pole: Alonso, time 1m 21.962 2011: 1° Vettel – Red Bull (2° Button and 3° Alonso) – fastest lap: Hamilton – pole: Vettel, time 1m 22.275 2012: 1° Hamilton – Mc Laren (2° Perez and 3° Alonso) – fastest lap: Rosberg – pole: Hamilton 1m 24.010 Wins for current pilots: Alonso 2 wins (2007-2010) – Vettel 2 wins (2008-2011)Hamilton one win(2012) Podiums at Monza: Alonso(5 times) – Button(4) – Raikkonen (3) – Vettel and Hamilton(2) – Perez and Massa(1) Pole position: Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso (2) – Raikkonen 1. (In Italy, Webber no win no podium and no pole) Stats on this season after 11 races. Wins: Vettel(5 times) Alonso and Rosberg(2); Raikkonen and Hamilton (1) Podium: Vettel(8); Raikkonen and Alonso(6); Hamilton(5); Webber(3); Rosberg and Grosjean(2); Massa(1).
