I am confused about the track map in the "A lap of Monza" article. I thought the double chicance immediately after the start had been replaced by a "conventional" single chicane. Also the text that describes the lap sounds like this. But the map still shows a double chicane. Is it a map of last year's track?

Regards,

Yeah i notice that too but i guess they only had a few weeks to make a new map and were puhed for time. In any case.. it's just a small change.

Slick,

they seem to be wrong, too. The official Monza site (although it is very slow) has a correct map.
The new chicane is a single chicane. Looking at the official site's map it starts with a sharp 90 degree right turn followed by much smoother left and right back to the straight. (can anybody picture it from this description?)
