It could be the champion’s luck or maybe it’s just a matter of luck. Be that as it may, what happened to Emilia Romagna GP It deserves a thriller, with a happy ending for Max Verstappen in the first installment of the trilogy which will be the Italian appointment that will take place in Imola this weekend. A lot of fabric has to be cut. The second part is open with sprint racing, which will dictate the grid for the outcome, the race on Sunday. But for now, Max hit first, covering the pole on a track where Ferrari happily promised them.
Italian vehicles are faster in the dry and in the wet due to their higher downforce. They literally fly. They chose a double in front of their people, seeing that it was time to jump on the track on Sunday to fill the final podium ceremony of the Italian and Ferrari flags. But Max raised it in difficult conditions, being at the right time and in the right place, a la Lewis Hamilton, to take advantage of the last red flag from Norris that gave him pole position against Leclerc (2nd) and in English McLaren driver (3rd).
After the red flag from Magnussen, the fourth so far in the entire ‘qualy’, Max and Charles played it in one attempt. It seems to be the desired end of the classification. There are 2’58 ”left. Enough time for a shot of each. Two of the favorites, face off in a new duel for pole position. The water appeared stronger for that last fight. There is no missing element to add epic. On the same path where Ayrton Senna died (in 9 days it would be 28 years since his death), fate seems to have left the opportunity for Charles and Max, who have been compared to the Brazilian several times, to give their best. which honors a pilot who when it rained showed unparalleled magic. But Norris, in an accident with 38 seconds left, single-handedly ended that long-awaited match.
He climbed the wall occupying third position, where he will start this Saturday in the qualifying race. His own incident was like a ring on his finger and he handed the pole to Verstappen, leaving Leclerc with honey on his lips.
Charles was hurt by being given a pole position last year in Monaco and Baku, in the Principality because of his accident that eventually resulted in him not starting the race on Sunday, and in Azerbaijan because of an incident in Tsunoda that prevented anyone to beat your time.
Previously, the classification was pure resistance. With intermittent rain, on a circuit like Imola, old school and no room for mistakes, it’s all about touching the track. In this context, Carlos Sainz was removed in Q2 when he fell off the wall due to an error he could not understand, when he was second. He will start on the 10th this Saturday in the sprint race and he needs to see an exciting result between the current champion and his partner from the box.
