Formula 1 once again visits the historic Imola circuit to carry out the fourth round of the world motorsports championship. The Emilia-Romaña Grand Prix, or, the Made In Italy E Dell’emilia Romagna Grand Prix will be there. In addition, it will be the first Grand Prix of the season in which the sprint is a challenge.
Imola is an old-school circuit that represents a great technical challenge. It has various corners and different speeds that put both cars and drivers to the test. The track is quite narrow in places, which adds to the challenge of overtaking and puts an emphasis on strategy.
In 2022, the F1 implemented new technical and sporting regulations that will seek to guarantee equality between the teams and make the category much more entertaining for fans.
And what are sprint races?
They are a new qualifying format for Sunday races, in which the drivers fight in a fast 100-kilometer race to determine the starting order of the race on Sunday. That is, according to the location of the drivers in this race, it will be the start. According to the F1, there are no mandatory pits stops, and the use of DRS will be fine.
Ferrari arrives in Europe and the first Grand Prix on Italian soil of the season as the leader of both championships, which is undoubtedly a long-awaited event for the Tifosi, who have had to go through several years of drought and poor results.
Charles Leclerc obtained his second victory of the season at the Australian GP; which, together with the retirement of Max Verstappen, leaves him outstanding in the general classification of drivers. The Red Bulls’ Honda engine has proven to have problems, almost more so than the Alpine.
On the other hand, Mercedes continues without resolving its problems with the car, and it does not seem that this situation can be reversed anytime soon. For starters, the Germans won’t be bringing any significant upgrades to Italy inside for this Emilia-Romaña GP. They trust that the characteristics of the circuit will favor them, thanks to the accumulation of slow curves.
Next, we will be able to observe the drivers that will race in this Emilia-Romaña GP, as well as the betting odds for each of them.
