Formula 1 drivers will be discouraged from cutting the first and second chicanes at Monza this weekend following the installation of higher curbs.
The problem of cars straight-lining the curbs at Rettifilo and Roggia has been an issue at the Italian Grand Prix for several years, despite big efforts being made to find a solution that both the governing body and the drivers are happy with.
This year, the FIA has approved plans for high combination curbs to be fitted at the apexes of the first and second chicanes – which should deter drivers from trying to cut the corners.
The combination curb concept has already proved to be a big success after being fitted at the Veedol Chicane at the Nurburgring and the new Barcelona chicane (pictured).
