Formula 1 | What happens to a car when it passes over curbs? Matteo Bobbi's analysis at Sky Tech [VIDEO]
Key factor in performance in Monza
di Roberto Valenti1 September 2018

Being a track "rich" in fast chicanes, in fact, to win on the Brianza track you need a car capable of tackling the curbs with composure and balance, without mistakes or controls of any kind.
Precisely in this sense, Ferrari showed off enormous potential during yesterday's free practice (the comparison with the Roggia and the Ascari is emblematic.ed), especially in the duel with Mercedes, which is why it will be reasonable to expect an extremely competitive Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel during today, rain permitting.
