The F1 circus moves on to Imola this weekend with all eyes on the seventh race of the season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri is a man in real form heading into this race on Italian soil, with the McLaren driver winning all of his last three races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and most recently at the Miami Grand Prix.
The Australian might be in hot form but his team-mate Lando Norris is not a man to be underestimated at Imola and the Brit is capable of taking the chequered flag in this race on Sunday.

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix betting tips
Lando Norris to win @ 11/8 George Russell podium finish @ 11/8 Kimi Antonelli top-six finish @ 4/6Norris can claim Imola victory
Norris may not have claimed victory at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in his career just yet, but that doesn’t mean the circuit hasn’t been a strong hunting ground for the Bristol-born driver.
The 25-year-old, who finished second in the Drivers’ Championship last season, has shown remarkable consistency here over the years, securing podium finishes in each of his last three appearances at this circuit.
After back-to-back third-place results in 2021 and 2022, and with the 2023 event cancelled due to flooding, Norris returned to the podium with a runner-up finish in 2024.
Armed with a car now capable of setting the pace, Norris looks well-placed to mount a serious challenge for the top step this weekend on a circuit that clearly plays to his strengths.
Russell can clinch podium spot
A driver quietly impressing on the track this season is Mercedes’ talent George Russell.
Now leading the charge for the Silver Arrows after Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Russell has embraced the role and delivered a string of strong performances.
With six races in the books, the Brit has climbed onto the podium in four of them, most recently securing third place at the Miami Grand Prix.
Proving he can hold his own against the top drivers, the Russell to notch up a fifth podium of the season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend looks well worth a second glance at 11/8.
Antonelli to continue impressing
Russell’s team-mate at Mercedes, Kimi Antonelli, has grabbed his chance with both hands with the Silver Arrows as he steps into the sizeable void left by Hamilton.
Still only at the tender age of 18, the Italian has made an impressive start to his debut season in Formula One, racking up 48 points from his first six races and securing five top-six finishes along the way, showing maturity and composure well beyond his years.
With the backing of what is set to be another passionate home crowd in Bologna, local boy Antonelli looks a solid shout to notch another top-six result at his home Grand Prix this Sunday, as he continues to turn heads up and down the paddock.
