Formula 1 is back in Italy for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola as we start a European triple-header.<\/p>\n

Miami brought the heat last time out as Oscar Piastri took a third straight victory and extended his championship lead over team-mate Lando Norris, who was second and sits 16 points behind the Australian.<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen has fallen to 32 points adrift of Piastri after a difficult Sprint weekend in Miami but Red Bull, like most teams, will bring upgrades to Imola which they hope put them closer to McLaren.<\/p>\n

Ferrari will be on home soil and Lewis Hamilton will race in front of the Tifosi for the first time in his career, with increasing pressure on the Scuderia.<\/p>\n

Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli will also be driving at home on the back of his stunning Sprint pole in Miami. George Russell stood on the podium but Antonelli was the more impressive driver and it will be fascinating to see if he continues his upward trajectory.<\/p>\n

Emilia Romagna GP track – Imola Circuit<\/h3>\n

The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is held at Imola, one of the most iconic circuits on the F1 calendar and a real driver’s challenge due to its old-school nature with grass and gravel traps.<\/p>\n

Imola returned to the F1 schedule in 2020 after a 14-year absence on a new track layout which continues to be used today.<\/p>\n

Qualifying is very important due to the tight nature of the fast, flowing circuit with only one DRS zone on the long, main straight.<\/p>\n
