The return to Imola comes after last year's race was called off due to heavy flooding that ravaged the region.

This weekend also marks a shift back to the traditional format after the last two grands prix in China and Miami hosted sprint races. We will have two practice sessions on Friday, followed by a third on Saturday leading into the crucial qualifying session.

So far, this season has seen two non-Red Bull drivers clinch victories, with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz breaking Red Bull's early dominance with a thrilling win in Australia, while McLaren's Lando Norris stunned the world with a sensational maiden win last race in Miami.

Now all eyes will be on whether the upgrades teams bring to Italy are enough to bridge the gap to championship leaders Red Bull and Max Verstappen.
