Ferrari have had little to celebrate in 2020, however, and travel south from Monza after their worst performance there since 1995. Sebastian Vettel, soon to be announced as a Racing Point driver for 2021, and Charles Leclerc both retired last weekend and Ferrari are sixth overall and heading for their worst season since 1980, when they ended up 10th.

Normal service should be resumed this weekend with six-times world champion Hamilton, who has a 47-point lead over Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas after winning five of eight races, keen to clinch his 90th career win. Seven of the present drivers have driven there before, notably at a 2012 test, although not Hamilton who has only experienced it in the factory simulator back at Brackley.

“The two Arrabbiatta corners are absolutely outstanding. I think with the 2020 cars it’s just going to be bloody awesome.”
