F1 25 Monza Setup: Best Dry and Wet Car Setup

The best F1 25 Monza setup runs wings at 0 and 0, the differential at 87.5% on throttle and 30% off, suspension at 39 and 4, ride height at 22 and 48 and front brake bias at 55%. It is the lowest downforce setup in the game. Everything else on the car is there to make zero wing drivable.

The numbers come from F1Laps, which reports what the 100 fastest setups at this track have in common. I read them on 5 October 2026. I have not tested this exact setup in the game, so take it as community data. The reading of it is mine.

F1 25 Monza setup: dry and wet

These values are for the 2025 cars in the base game. The game lists the track as Italy.

Why this setup works at Monza

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is 5.793 km long and has 11 corners. Most of the lap is flat out. There are three chicanes (the Rettifilo, the Roggia and Ascari), the two Lesmo corners and the long Parabolica at the end. Between them it is all straights, so top speed is worth more here than anywhere else on the calendar.

Wings at 0 and 0. Monza is the only track where the fastest setups run zero front wing. Only Las Vegas also runs zero at the rear. You lose grip in the Lesmos, Ascari and the Parabolica and you gain it back, with interest, on every straight. You can compare it with every other track in my F1 25 setups for every track.

Differential at 87.5% and 30%. At 19 of the 24 tracks the on throttle differential is fully locked at 100%. Four tracks run 90%. Monza is the only one below that. My reading: with no rear wing there is little grip on the exit of the chicanes, and a slightly more open differential stops the rear from snapping when you get on the power.

Suspension at 39 and 4. The front is softer than usual. Only four tracks run a softer front, and Monaco runs the same 39. The chicanes here are taken over the kerbs, and a softer front lets the car ride them.

Anti-roll bars at 9.5 and 14.5. A stiff rear bar against a softer front helps the car turn in the chicanes, where a zero wing car wants to push straight on.

Ride height at 22 and 48. High for a track this fast. Only Imola and Las Vegas run a higher front, and only Imola and Monaco a higher rear. It is the kerbs again: the lap time in the chicanes comes from how much kerb you can take without the floor touching.

Brake bias at 55%. This is the highest value in the game, shared with Miami and Austria. No track runs more. With zero rear wing the rear is very light under braking, and Monza has the biggest stop of the season into the first chicane.

Tyres at 29.5 and 22 psi. Front pressures are at the top of what the fast setups use anywhere. No track runs more.

How to drive it

Brake early and straight for the first chicane. You arrive at the highest speed of the lap with no wing to slow the car or hold the rear. Brake in a straight line, release the pedal as you turn, and do not try to gain time on entry. The time is in the exit.

Use the kerbs, but not the sausage kerbs. The flat kerbs at the Rettifilo and the Roggia are part of the line. The tall ones behind them throw the car off the ground.

Be patient in the Lesmos. The car slides more than you expect with zero wing. Turn in once, wait for the front to bite, then feed the throttle. A good exit from the second Lesmo carries down to Ascari.

Ascari is one movement. Left, right, left, with the throttle coming back in before the last part. If you correct the steering in the middle you lose the exit onto the back straight.

Get on the throttle early at the Parabolica. Brake, turn in late, and open the steering as you accelerate. The exit decides your speed down the whole main straight.

Use the slipstream. In a race the tow is worth several tenths a lap here. Stay close through the Parabolica and pass before the first chicane.

How to adjust it to your driving

Change one thing at a time and drive three clean laps before you judge it.

• The car is too nervous everywhere. Add wing in equal steps, to 2 and 2 or 3 and 3. You lose a little on the straights and gain a lot of confidence. A lap you can finish beats a lap that is fast on paper.
• The rear snaps out of the chicanes. Lower the on throttle differential from 87.5% to 80%. That is what the wet set runs.
• The car will not turn in the chicanes. Add one or two clicks of front wing only, or lower the off throttle differential from 30% to 25%.
• The car bounces off the kerbs. Soften the front suspension by two or three clicks, or stay off the inside kerb at the second part of each chicane.
• The front locks into the first chicane. Move brake bias back from 55% to 54%. If it still locks, take brake pressure down to 95%.
• The rear steps out under braking. Leave the bias at 55% and brake a few metres earlier. With zero wing there is no setup fix for braking too late.
• You are on a controller. Start from the same numbers and lower the on throttle differential to 75 or 80%. My F1 25 controller settings cover the calibration side.

Wet setup for Monza

Compared with the dry setup:

• The wings stay at 0 and 0. That is what the fastest wet laps run. If you cannot keep the car on the track, add two or three clicks at each end before you change anything else.
• The on throttle differential goes from 87.5% to 80%. The off throttle value stays at 30%.
• The front suspension goes up from 39 to 41 and the rear comes down from 4 to 3.
• The anti-roll bars soften by half a step, from 9.5 and 14.5 to 9 and 14.
• Front ride height drops from 22 to 21.5. The rear stays at 48.
• Front tyre pressures drop from 29.5 to 27.5 psi. The rears stay at 22 psi, with the rear left a touch higher at 22.15.

Brake bias stays at 55%. Camber and toe do not change.

Monza setup for the 2026 Season Pack car

The 2026 cars arrived in F1 25 with the 2026 Season Pack. They have their own setups, and a 2025 setup does not carry over. F1Laps files these cars under F1 26. These are the dry and wet sets for Monza as I read them on 5 October 2026.

The 2026 car does not run zero front wing. The dry set is at 16 and 0, with the differential fully locked at 100%, a front anti-roll bar at 2 and brake bias at 57%. Rear tyre pressures are much higher than on the 2025 car, at 26.5 and 25 psi.

Be careful with these numbers. The wet set runs less front wing than the dry one, which is the opposite of what you would expect, and the 2026 data on F1Laps still moves from one day to the next. Treat it as a starting point and check the source before a league race.

FAQ

What is the best setup for Monza in F1 25?

Wings 0 and 0, differential 87.5% on throttle and 30% off, camber -3.50 and -2.00, toe 0.00 and 0.10, suspension 39 and 4, anti-roll bars 9.5 and 14.5, ride height 22 and 48, brake pressure 100%, front brake bias 55%, front tyres 29.5 psi and rear tyres 22 psi.

What wing level should I run at Monza in F1 25?

0 at the front and 0 at the rear, in the dry and in the wet. That is what the fastest laps use. If the car is too hard to drive, 2 and 2 or 3 and 3 is a sensible step up.

Is zero wing really the fastest at Monza?

For one lap, according to the 100 fastest setups on F1Laps, yes. Monza is the only track in the game where the front wing goes all the way down to 0. In a long race a little more wing can pay back in tyre life and fewer mistakes.

Is the Italy setup in F1 25 the same as the Monza setup?

Yes. The game calls the track Italy, and it is the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Imola is listed separately as Emilia Romagna.

Does the F1 25 Monza setup work on the 2026 cars?

No. The 2026 Season Pack car runs wings at 16 and 0, the differential at 100% and 32.5%, suspension at 41 and 4 and brake bias at 57%. Use the 2026 table on this page.

Where does this setup come from?

From F1Laps, which analyses the 100 fastest setups its users have driven at Monza. I read the numbers on 5 October 2026. They can move when the game is patched.
