Formula 1 at Monza, the counter-narrative: longer straights and slower cars, there was once the Temple of Speed

The article discusses the performance of Formula 1 cars at the Monza circuit during the 2026 season, highlighting concerns over the new hybrid power units. It notes that despite longer straights, maximum speeds were lower than expected, with the fastest speed recorded being 351 km/h, down from previous years. The author criticizes the current hybrid system, which limits power delivery, especially on long straights, and compares Monza’s performance unfavorably to other circuits like Hungary, Barcelona, and China. The piece also references the struggles of drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez, and mentions the FIA’s attempts to address the issue by adjusting energy recovery systems.
