Aerodynamics:
Run minimum downforce – top speed is the priority here.
Transmission:
Closed on-throttle diff for strong traction, but keep it more open on entry to aid rotation into slower corners.
Suspension:
Stiff enough to handle kerbs, yet soft enough to maintain traction out of the chicanes. A low ride height boosts straight-line speed, but avoid bottoming out over kerbs.
Brakes:
High brake pressure is essential to maximise stopping power into the heavy braking zones.
Top speed is everything – use full ERS and slipstream in qualifying and races.
Manage the heavy braking zones into the chicanes – stay precise to avoid lockups and penalties.
Be aggressive over the first curbs, but control the car to avoid losing traction on exit.
Strong exits from Lesmo 2 and Ascari are critical, as they lead onto long straights.
Stay smooth and controlled through Curva Grande to minimise tyre scrub.
A clean run through Parabolica is vital to maximise speed onto the main straight.
