Yuki Tsunoda claims finding ‘right setup’ in Monza would be ‘difficult’ for RB

RB will have to attempt to score better results to build a good lead to the rivals in the championship standings. Additionally, the Monza circuit had recently been resurfaced. Hence, the Japanese recalled this fact and noted that none of the teams knew what to expect. As a result, the 24-year-old asserted finding the right setup for the chassis would be difficult for everyone on the track including RB.

The whole circuit has been completely re-paved, so none of the teams really know what to expect. Although it could provide more grip than in the past, which will have a domino effect on tire performance. It will be difficult to find the right setup, because the circuit evolves very quickly from one session to another.
