IT’S MONACO AT MONZA

Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez saw teams run Monaco-like aerodynamic configurations on their cars… in order to generate Monza-like downforce levels! Indeed, thinner air means the car undergoes less resistance from the air.

No wonder then to see the championship-winning Mercedes W06 don the monkey seat winglet it had sported at Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, Ferrari gave its race debut to the similar aero device it had sampled at Singapore.
