"I start the lap accelerating hard past the pits to the Tamburello chicane reaching a speed of just over 300 km/h. Then I brake hard for the left right, which I take in 2nd gear at around 125 km/h. From there I need to accelerate hard down to the Villeneuve chicane reaching a slightly lower speed of 285 km/h before going into this tricky corner. This corner is difficult because the entry is taken while still braking and then the final right-hand part is taken in 3rd gear at about 145 km/h.

"Then I accelerate quickly before braking hard again for the Tosa corner taken again in 2nd gear at just under 80 km/h. I like this corner because there is still an opportunity to overtake although it is harder now than it used to be. Out of Tosa I accelerate up the hill reaching 5th gear and speed of about 280km/h before taking Piratella in 4th gear at 175 km/h. This is a difficult corner as the circuit drops away at the exit.

"Going down the hill towards Acque Minerali I get up to 270 km/h before braking very hard down to the 110km/h 2nd gear corner. Accelerating out I climb again to the Variante Alta reaching 270 km/h before braking down to 2nd gear for this complex of corners, the minimum speed is about125 km/h. As I accelerate out of this chicane I achieve the maximum speed, depending on wind conditions, of around 300 km/h, which is similar to the pit straight.

"This is just before the two Rivazza corners, which are both taken in 2nd gear, the first one at about 100 km/h immediately followed by the 2nd one at about 120km/h. There is then a short straight where I get up to 275 km/h and this leads to a final very slow chicane before the pits, which I take in 2nd gear at around 95 km/h."
