F1 weather: Updated forecast for the Italian GP at Monza
Monza has played host to the odd classic wet race over time, with mixed conditions occasionally in play.
The F1 weather forecast is in for the Italian Grand Prix, and unlike the weekend forecast just gone at Zandvoort, the weather is due to stay consistent at Monza.
Mixed or uncertain conditions were in play at the Dutch Grand Prix last time out, but the Italian Grand Prix is set to stay dry for the weekend as it stands.
Italian GP weather forecast: What will the weather be like at Monza?
The early September slot for Italy on the calendar has meant the weather has been warm and dry for plenty of Italian Grands Prix in the past, though the odd wet race has been known to take place at Monza in years gone by.
This time around, the weather forecast is set fair for a largely dry weekend at the Temple of Speed, meaning the teams will be able to set up for all-out pace around the fastest circuit in Formula 1.
Skinny rear wings and the ultimate low-downforce setup are needed around this circuit, with the drivers looking to make their way through the corners as quickly as they dare while optimising top speed.
