Formula 1 returns to Italy for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, marking the start of a European triple-header.
The previous race in Miami was intense, with Oscar Piastri securing his third consecutive win and widening his championship lead over teammate Lando Norris, who finished second and is now 16 points behind.
Max Verstappen is now 32 points behind Piastri following a challenging Sprint weekend in Miami. However, Red Bull, along with many other teams, will introduce upgrades in Imola, hoping to close the gap to McLaren.
Ferrari competes on home ground, and Lewis Hamilton will race before the passionate Tifosi for the first time in his career. Pressure is mounting on the Scuderia.
Mercedes` Kimi Antonelli also races at home after his impressive Sprint pole position in Miami. While George Russell reached the podium, Antonelli appeared more impressive. It will be interesting to observe if he maintains this upward trend.
The Imola Circuit – Home of the Emilia Romagna GP
The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix takes place at Imola, one of F1`s most iconic tracks. Its old-school character, featuring grass and gravel traps, makes it a true test for drivers.
Imola rejoined the F1 calendar in 2020 after a 14-year break, using a revised circuit layout that is still in use.
Qualifying is crucial at this fast, flowing, and narrow circuit, which features only a single DRS zone on the main straight.
Imola Weather Forecast for the GP
The current forecast for Imola suggests mostly dry and hot conditions, with temperatures around 27°C throughout the three days. However, there is a possibility of showers on Grand Prix Sunday.
