Ferstappen with a champion heart! The Dutch Red Bull Racing driver did not chew on the fact that he lost his lead from the start of the sprint race to Charles Leclerc, stayed at a distance and made his counterattack in the final, overtaking him in the last lap to get a big victory.
Terrible gathering and driving by Ferstappen, who waited for the right moment to make his attack and showed Leclerc that he is “here” and will not leave him alone this season.
The most impressive and subversive sprint race we have seen in the last two years was this one in Imola, with Leclerc starting … champion and leaving Ferstappen second, with Pereth climbing 5th from 8th he had started and showing how both he and Red Bull Racing are in very good shape. On the contrary, Mercedes was losing ground, could not even get close to the top ten, or even the rated eight, and continues to disappoint their fans.
Leclerc seemed to maintain a safe distance throughout the sprint race, keeping Ferstappen at a distance of 1-1.2 seconds, but he worked with excellent strategy. He did not wear his tires, he kept them warm and waited for the final, to throw the last 4 laps the difference under the second and he attacked the DRS zone, passing Monegasco and leaving the Ferrari fans with joy, who closed the track of Imola. Peres, Saint completed the quartet, while Norris, Ricciardo, Botas, Magnussen also entered the octave.
