Formula 1 is present yet again at another historic circuit.
Jenson Button dominated the Belgian GP last weekend and is now in P2 in what was the first practice here at Monza. The “temple of speed” is a 5.793km long track and has hosted more than 60 GP’s so far.
After escaping a grid penalty Schumacher successfully claimed the P1 in this practice session on a track that will suit the Mercedes D-DRS systems.
