This year, reconstruction was carried out in Monza, replacing curbs and asphalt throughout the circuit. On Thursday, riders toured the road and not everyone was happy with the changes.
In particular, Daniel Ricciardo believes that thanks to the new curves, the Italian track has lost one of its special features: “The curves on the track have been replaced. I walked around this morning and I can say I’m not that happy.
Some of the elements that shaped the character of the route are now lost. This may not matter to outside observers, but it does matter to the racers because the old curves made it unique. Part of the old school line, part of Monza, is lost, but the new surface looks good.
Good asphalt, but I’m still confused about the bends. Now you can drive almost the whole circle with the gas pedal to the floor, because the new curves allow you to drive them wider. We’ll probably take a wider shift now, and ninth and tenth will be much easier to drivewith the gas pedal to the floor. “
Williams driver Alex Albon expressed the same opinion: “I saw the new curves, and it seems to me that the track with them has lost some of its character. Now there are standard curves here. “
