We’re kicking off the first race of the European triple-header with the Imola Grand Prix! Or should we say Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix? Honestly, we’re still not totally sure what the difference is.
This weekend brought the drama. Qualifying on Saturday saw two big crashes – Yuki Tsunoda in the Racing Bulls and Franco Colapinto, whose debut for Alpine didn’t quite go as planned. The race didn’t disappoint either, with a virtual and a full safety car shaking things up, when Esteban Ocon and home-hero Kimi Antonelli both retired.
Verstappen put his Red Bull on top, overtaking Piastri in his McLaren. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s weekend was more of a slow burn. After a tough qualifying, it looked like they might be stuck in their heads – but they pulled off a clean, steady recovery and both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc bagged some solid points.
Off the track, there was plenty of spice too. We unpack Anthony Hamilton’s controversial role with the FIA, Christian Horner’s still-uncertain future with Red Bull, and Flavio Briatore stirring things up at Alpine.
