Italian Grand Prix 2013: David Coulthard's inside track on what to look out for at Monza 1 Who to watch Ferrari. Who else? We are at the Temple of Speed and everyone is here to worship at the altar of the Prancing Horse. Ferrari normally keep a couple of tricks up their sleeve for this grand prix as it is so important to them and their sponsors, but Fernando Alonso will have to be pedalling hard to keep up with Sebastian Vettel. Red Bull looked extremely strong in practice on Friday, particularly Seb. And then you have Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton has taken pole at the last four races and is desperate to stay in championship contention. And Lotus. Don't rule them out. 2 Where the race will be won Monza is a unique circuit in so many ways. It is like a good Italian restaurant; the paint is a little chipped but it churns out amazing food. The history, the speed, the feeling of going from over 200mph to almost a standstill. It looks simple on a diagram but it punishes mistakes. Blink at that speed and you will miss your braking zone, lock up, ruin a lap. I know we saw Sergio Pérez come from way back to finish second last year on a different tyre strategy but I still feel that tomorrow's winner will qualify well, make the most of his tyres, and then keep it neat and tidy. 3 Other talking points First impressions of the draft 21-race calendar for next year? It looks long. I know sympathy is in short supply for drivers and teams who travel the globe going to Formula One races but it does put a massive strain on families. But then it is called a world championship for a reason. I was pleased to see Mexico on there. I visited the circuit last year and was pleasantly surprised by Mexico City. The last grand prix there was in 1992, before even my career in F1 started. As for New Jersey, its exclusion is a pity. I have been there, too, and it is a great venue.
