RacingNews365 give their predictions for the 2024 F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix from Imola, in race that might not go the way Red Bull is used to.
Max Verstappen will start the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix from pole position, but he is facing more pressure than usual, especially with McLaren’s Lando Norris starting alongside him after McLaren’s strong performance at the Miami Grand Prix. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc had high expectations to take pole position but had to settle for third on the grid. Oscar Piastri, who was due to start second, dropped to fifth due to a penalty. The race is likely to be a one-stop strategy with a high probability of safety car periods due to the re-introduced gravel traps at Imola. Strategy and a bit of luck will be crucial on this notoriously difficult track for overtaking. Overall, it promises to be an exciting and competitive race between Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, and Piastri.
