Verstappen wary of ‘complex’ challenge ahead of Emilia Romagna GP
Max Verstappen expressed caution about the challenging nature of the Imola track as the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix approaches. The 2023 race was canceled due to floods in the region, but now F1 is set to return to Imola this weekend. Verstappen aims to bounce back after being defeated by Lando Norris in Miami, where he won the races in ’21 and ’22. Imola, characterized by medium to low-speed corners and long straights, poses a technical challenge that Verstappen finds interesting. Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez is currently 33 points behind him in the standings, having finished second to Verstappen in four out of six races. Perez is wary of the potentially changeable weather conditions at Imola and emphasizes the importance of making the right decisions as a team to secure a podium finish in Italy.
