Overtaking chances: It's not a track with tons of corners but the first two chicanes and the pit straight, aided by DRS, give drivers the best chance of an overtake. The problem at Monza is more getting close enough to do that. With this being the most power-hungry track on the calendar, cars tend to separate by engine supplier and dreaded field spread appears quite early on.
