The 63-lap Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix gets underway today (Sunday, May 18) in Imola for the seventh round of the 2025 Formula 1 season.
McLaren once again came out on top in qualifying, and Oscar Piastri will start the race on pole position with Max Verstappen alongside him on the front row poised to attack at the first corner.
Lando Norris will start behind on the second row of the grid in P4, also trailing George Russell, as the papaya star searches for his first victory since the opening round at the 2025 Australian GP.
Both Ferraris will start outside of the top 10 after a woeful qualifying in front of the tifosi, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in 11th and 12th respectively.
Meanwhile, Aston Martin improved out of nowhere on Saturday to feature in the top 10 on the grid, with Fernando Alonso securing a sensational P5 starting spot for the Spaniard who is yet to score a point this year.
The Imola GP is not to be missed, but how can you watch in your region and what time will it be on where you are?
