After globe-trotting through circuits in Australia, Asia, the Middle East, and across the Americas, Formula 1 finally rolls back into Europe, and where better to reignite the flame than Imola, Italy.
This weekend, the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix takes centre stage, and it’s far more than just another race.
For Ferrari fans, the ever-passionate tifosi, it’s a spiritual homecoming, a chance to drape the grandstands in red, set off the scarlet flares, and roar in unison for their beloved Scuderia.
And this year, there’s an added layer of electricity in the air: Lewis Hamilton, for the first time, will don Ferrari red in front of an Italian home crowd. Hamilton’s shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari was the seismic shift that sent ripples across the sport, but the honeymoon has been anything but smooth.
On the other hand, Oscar Piastri is making waves. The young Aussie has been in sensational form since the start of the campaign, leading the championship and stringing together a streak of commanding performances.
Red Bull haven’t quite looked themselves lately, and while Mercedes seem to be inching forward, it’s McLaren who arrive at Imola as the team to beat.
