DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: Minimum (2/10 click), Rear Wing: 3 (low-drag setting for Monza), Downforce Level: Low — top speed prioritized, Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 3 (minimal, cool enough for single-lap attack)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Monza rewards minimum drag above all else — every click of rear wing costs more down the two long straights than it gains in the chicanes, so trim aero to the ragged edge of chicane stability and rely on mechanical front grip (slightly stiffer front ARB, firm front dampers) to generate chicane rotation instead of downforce.

TRACK GUIDE

• Variante del Rettifilo (T1/2): Brake as late as physically possible from 330+ km/h — trail brake slightly into T1 to rotate, then get back to power early over the chicane kerbs; avoid unsettling the rear by flattening the kerb strike.
• Curva Grande (T3): Taken essentially flat in top gear — minimum lift, commit early; low-drag rear wing is critical here for sustained speed.
• Variante della Roggia (T4/5): Second heavy braking zone — brake in a straight line, rotate on entry, prioritize a clean exit onto the back straight over outright mid-corner speed.
• Lesmo 1 & 2: Lesmo 1 needs strong front-end bite on entry (trail-brake to rotate); Lesmo 2 is where understeer creeps in — carry slightly less entry speed to protect exit speed onto the full-throttle run to Ascari.
• Variante Ascari & Parabolica: Ascari must be taken flat and stable over the kerbs — any vertical disturbance costs time through the following straight; Parabolica is the lap-defining corner — patient entry, progressive power from apex, maximum exit speed is worth more than any other single corner on this lap.
