The 2025 Formula 1 season continued with a dramatic round at the legendary Imola Circuit, officially titled the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Taking place on May 19, this race added new intensity to the championship standings with unexpected moves, strong recoveries, and off-track surprises
🏆 Verstappen Strikes Back
Max Verstappen reclaimed momentum with a controlled and strategic win in Imola, marking his second victory of the season and the 65th of his career. After overtaking Oscar Piastri into Turn 1, Verstappen led confidently to the finish, reminding the paddock that the reigning champion still has a title fight in him.
🟠 McLaren Double Podium
McLaren once again showed impressive pace. Lando Norris climbed to P2 by passing his teammate Oscar Piastri, who secured P3. Although disappointed not to convert pole into a win, Piastri still extended his lead in the championship thanks to his consistency.
🔴 Hamilton’s Ferrari Comeback
Lewis Hamilton produced one of the standout drives of the weekend. Starting from P12, the seven-time world champion charged through the field to finish P4—his best result so far in red. It was an emotional moment for Ferrari fans seeing Hamilton deliver in front of the Tifosi.
🐇 Unexpected Incident: Gasly Hits a Rabbit
A bizarre moment occurred during Friday practice when Pierre Gasly struck a rabbit that wandered onto the track. The Alpine driver damaged his front wing but managed to return to action after swift repairs by his team.
