its the 7th round of the F1 season & its our 1st race back in europe. at the wonderful & historic imola or as it was called, with the very catchy title of 2024 MSC Cruises Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna grand prix
Currently, in Italy, 2 major events have captured attention: the F1 race & the papal election. At first glance, one might assume that F1 & the Pope have no connection, but that not true. In 2019, on the 25th anniversary Ayrton Senna's death, Pope Francis was presented with a bronze figure of the legendary driver.
Twenty years ago, we were racing in Imola just days after Pope John Paul was elected. Interestingly, there is a recurring pattern among the teams that won the last five races following the election of a new pope.
1963 - Jim Clark - Lotus
1978 - Mario Andretti - Lotus
1978 - Jaques Laffite - Renault
2005 - Fernando Alonso - Renault
2013 - Kimi Raikkonen - Lotus Renault
does this is mean that Gasly or colapinto will be on winner podiums, as renault power have won the last 3 & enstone team are unbeaten. probably not. but who knows anything is possible when you have god on your side
This weekend marks a regular weekend with no sprints until Spa in July. Lando Norris enters this race under significant pressure; is a must-win or, at the very least, he must outperform his teammate. Although it is still early in the season, the title, currently at a 16 point gap, is beginning to slip from his grasp, while Piastri appears comfortable. Additionally, this could be a chastening homecoming for Ferrari. Whatever updates they introduced to their car over the winter have proven disastrous. in just a few races, they have gone being within reach of a Constructors' title struggling to finish in the top ten. When their 2 star drivers are battling for 7th place, the fault does not lie with the drivers.

All he had to was block him off to the rundown to the chicane as he was more than a car length ahead
