For the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, the Red Bull drivers worked on the team-based simulator and are already looking forward to a return to the classic Italian circuit, where Max Verstappen has already won twice and Sergio Perez took the podium in 2022 . .
Max Verstappen: “Imola is a legendary circuit, it is always interesting to race here and we are happy that the race, which had to be canceled last year, will go ahead this time.
Our team achieved great results at Imola, it is a really old-fashioned circuit, very technical and there are difficult combinations of corners and braking zones.
Our team continues to work hard, both in Milton Keynes and on track, and I have also spent time in the Red Bull Racing simulator this week. Of course it’s great to be back in Europe and I’m already curious what this weekend will bring us.”
Sergio Perez: “We return to Europe, but I am especially happy that the race in Imola awaits us, because last year this stage did not take place. But the weather conditions there can be difficult, and this always brings additional difficulties as working hours during training can be limited, which then has serious consequences for qualifications.
Let’s hope it stays dry this weekend and so far the forecast for Friday and Saturday looks promising. If we work with confidence these days, we can prepare perfectly for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
This week I was at the team base, we tried to find more effective settings to perform better in Imola than in Miami. But for this we need the team to make the right decisions during the weekend and if we work together we can get on the podium.
This weekend we honor the memory of Ayrton Senna, so I will be working on the track in the famous yellow balaclava with the inscription “Senna – forever!”, and this is very important to me. He inspired us when we were all growing up, and many of those now competing in Formula 1 started karting thanks to Senna.”
