The Italian Grand Prix - Autodromo di Monza 4/5/6 September 2015
Built in 1922, the Autodromo Nazionale of Monza has hosted the Italian Grand Prix since its inauguration, with just a single exception (the 1980 GP was held at Imola). No other circuit has hosted more Formula 1 Grands Prix and Monza is the second oldest permanent circuit still in use after Indianapolis
Pirelli has chosen the for this week end "White medium” and “Yellow soft” compounds. A different choice than last year at Monza
In 2014 were selected the hard and medium compounds. winning strategy last year: only 1 pit stop
In 2014 the pole position time was 1.24.109 but with medium tyres
This year the pole position will be achieved on soft tires; so it is very probably a better lap time
always in the last 5 years the pilot who has started from the pole position has won the Grand Prix
Monza is the fastest circuit on the F1 season There are long straights and heavy braking zones so this circuit requires a specific very low downforce setup
This track is very demanding for brakes and engines

2011 Podium: Vettel (Red Bull) – 2° Button and 3° Alonso.
Fastest lap: Hamilton – pole position : Vettel (Red Bull) 1.22.275

2012 Podium: Hamilton(Mc Laren) – 2° Perez and 3° Alonso
Fastest lap: Rosberg – Pole position : Hamilton (Mc Laren) 1.24.010
