Q&A with McLaren's Tim Goss
Although McLaren have been tipped to be the best of the bunch at Monza this weekend, many believe they will then struggle to match car to circuit characteristics at the remaining five rounds. But Tim Goss, chief engineer of the MP4-25, is confident new upgrades, a better understanding of the blown diffuser and their leading role in the development of the F-duct could see the team go from strength to strength as the season's climax approaches.

Tougher floor tests prompt minor changes to McLaren
McLaren have revealed they have carried out minor modifications to the MP4-25's floor ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, in light of the more stringent tests to be applied by the FIA at the Monza event.
The sport's governing body revised their scrutineering checks following July's Hungarian race after some teams, namely Red Bull and Ferrari, were accused by rivals of running flexible front wings. After introducing tougher front-wing tests at the last round in Spa, the FIA will carry out a stricter floor test in Italy, with weight applied to the side of a car's floor as well as its centre.

La Pista Magica - Magical Monza
It's a tough ask to follow Spa-Francorchamps on the Formula One calendar - but Monza can. The legendary circuit, which will host the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, boasts enough history, passion, speed and magic to offer up an unmissable event in front of some of the most fervent fans.
On paper it looks like no other track. Its layout is deceptively simple, but masks what is widely-regarded as one of the toughest challenge on the calendar. Dominated by long straights, but punctuated by slow chicanes, the circuit demands minimum downforce and maximum speed. Affectionately labelled a 'car-breaker', nowhere is tougher on brakes and engines than Monza, which boasts average speeds of around 250 km/h and top speeds of 340 km/h.
