FIA makes key Monza decision for Italian Grand Prix

The FIA has announced that the Italian Grand Prix at Monza will feature four straight-mode zones, which is less than the record of five seen at other circuits this season. These zones allow drivers to adjust their car's aerodynamics to optimize performance on the straights and corners, a change from the previous DRS system. The specific locations of these zones have been detailed, with the first on the main straight and others positioned strategically around the track.

Kimi Antonelli, the current leader in the drivers' standings, will face a challenging race as he starts from the back of the grid due to a power unit change. The Monza circuit is noted for its energy management challenges, as teams must navigate long straights with limited opportunities to recharge their batteries. This adds an interesting dynamic to the race, as teams will need to balance power usage effectively.
