Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli resume testing of its new, 2011 Formula 1 tires on the super fast circuit of Monza, home of the Italian Grand Prix.
Romain Grosjean is behind the wheel of the Toyota TF109 fitted with a low-downforce aero package.
For Pirelli, it is crucial to understand how the tire behaves when submitted to 5 Gs of negative acceleration when braking for the chicanes and to a top speed of 340 km/h.
Grosjean, a former Renault F1 Team driver, took over the driving duties of the Toyota after veteran Nick Heidfeld was asked to replace Pedro De La Rosa at Sauber Motorsport until the end of the 2010 season.
