The Formula 1 World Championship returns to Europe: it will be held again in Imola, a race that was canceled last year due to floods. The hunt for Verstappen begins again
The F1 World Championship returns to Europe, specifically to Italy (17-18-19 May). The seventh Grand Prix of the season will, in fact, be held in Imola. The circuit is 4,909 meters long and has a total of 19 corners. There are 63 laps planned: the total distance traveled will be 309.049 kilometres.
In 2023 the Grand Prix was not held due to the floods that hit the region. Instead, in 2022 it was Max Verstappen who triumphed. After the two consecutive Sprints held in China and Miami, the weekend in Emilia Romagna will be traditional. Great expectations for Ferrari, which will play at home and will bring the first major package of seasonal updates. Verstappen, defeated in Florida, will want to redeem himself. And he will instead want to try to confirm himself as Lando Norris, after finally experiencing the thrill of victory in Miami.
«Arriving in Europe is always like a new beginning of the season. And so here in Imola, a track we know. We’ll see how we manage to behave. A message to the fans? I say thank you to them for their support, it is always special for the team to be in Italy. Unfortunately for the fans there was no opportunity to be here last year and we hope to be able to compete. But it’s a great feeling to be here, always. How did we prepare? It won’t be about preparing the match differently. Reality is different from what you see on paper. But we will try to have all the components ready and it will be a special moment. It will be for the whole team”, the words of Fred Vasseur, the Red team principal.
