Racing in-front of the tifosi is always a daunting task, but even more daunting when you're sitting in an underperforming Ferrari and expected to win at the very least.
Sebastain Vettel has been speaking about why he loves Monza and why it is such a great race track to come to.
“I could never imagine F1 without Monza,” he said. “It would be a nightmare."
“I can’t wait to be back on track with all those fans, the passion, the banners, the children and adults who queue for an autograph or selfie. It’s magic,” said the Ferrari driver.
“Sometimes it goes well, at other times not. In formula one, everything is on edge and behind every trouble is an explanation.”
Many have been comparing Vettel's 2016 season to his torrid 2014 season he spent at Red Bull, however the German explains why they are completely different.
“No, in 2014 I could hardly drive early in the season with huge technical problems, coming after four consecutive world titles. When I realised I was not able to defend them, the feeling was really horrible."
He was then asked if he would be able to wait like his hero Michael Schumacher for Ferrari success and he replied: “Um, it’s a very difficult question.
“If I had a chance to win only half of what he did (at Ferrari) it would be worth the wait,” he said. “But formula one is not a sport of patience."
“We have worked hard to recover the gap, but it’s useless to hide it — we are not competitive enough to win a race yet.”
Vettel also denied that he and his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen have lost respect between each-other after clashing multiple times on-track this season.
“We like and respect each other and that is very good for the team. We both want to win and we know that we are not yet able to do it, so we are trying to help with the car as much as possible."
“Kimi and I are very different types: for sure I speak more, but with the engineers he gives a lot of feedback about how the car is,” added Vettel.
