Brundle also contemplates potential 2027 track changes and tweaks to VSC rules to improve fairness and racing quality, acknowledging the trade-off with uninterrupted green-flag racing time.

Monza’s energy-starved layout will reward slipstreaming and energy management, making the weekend a battle to close the gap to the top teams with strong tifosi support energizing the teams.
