You know the score: Monza and high speeds go hand-in-hand like nothing else! While average speeds are also comparable, the engineering challenge is quite different between Monza and Spa!. The average lap speed around Monza can hit a staggering 250 km/h!. It’s no surprise that Monza is highly dependent on engine power, with around 70% of the lap spent at full throttle!. Despite the long straights and limited number of corners, brakes are truly tested at Monza – to a high degree!. The Grand Prix will put the brakes under high temperature conditions, which can be increased by traffic, DRS usage and other factors.
