Sunday, 19 May 2024
Max Verstappen will be determined to continue his dominance in the
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and win the race for the third time.
Most recent race
The Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT driver was not at his best at the most recent race which was the Miami Grand Grand Prix on 5 May.
Verstappen started on P1 on the grid, but he slipped up and he ended up finishing second which earned him 18 important points.
Formula One title ambitions
The reigning Formula One world champion remains at the top of the World Drivers' Championship standings having collected 136 points from six races.
Verstappen is just 33 points clear of second-placed Sergio Perez of Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT and he will be under pressure to return to winning ways in the next race.
Why Verstappen could win the 2024 Emilia Romagna GP
The 26-year-old is the most successful driver in the history of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix having won the race a record two times.
Verstappen, who has four out of the six races in the 2024 campaign, is a clear favorite to win this weekend's Romagna Grand Prix.
What did he say?
“It was quite tricky. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a clean Q3 run one when the track was at its best, I think," Verstappen said after the 2024 Miami Grand Prix.
"Then I did a slight mistake into Turn 8, which cost me at least the front row, probably pole. We just didn’t maximise it.' But I’m optimistic. It hurts to miss out on the front row by a couple of hundredths, but it’s how it is, the margins are super close.
"We did some mistakes with how we were setting up going into qualifying, so we’ve got to push and understand the issues, but we are getting a lot closer now.”
