Where to watch from: Acque Minerali (Turns 11-12). A brilliant section in which the cars have to brake downhill in a little valley and then accelerate back out. Faster and trickier than it looks on tv.
What happened last year?
Verstappen Held Off Lando Norris To Win By the Smallest of Margins – Just 0.725 seconds – in a tense battle. Ferrari’s charles leclerc finished third, 7.9 seconds off norris after missing his braking point and cutting the chicane mid-race, opening up a gap boyind the mclaren.
Who will win?
Oscar Piatri is on a run of three consecutive victors and is the bookies’ Favourite to win this week.
However, Versappen was fastest in qualifying and has now taken pole position at the last four races. If he can do it again at imola, there are far fewer overtaking operations and mclaren’s in-race type advantage is experted to be less of a factor due to lover digration level.
For that reason, we’re bucking the trend and going with verstappen as the favourite.
