Formula 1 Emilia-Romagna (Imola) Grand Prix 2024 - Results

Kind of a boring race, honestly. At least until the the last ~10 laps or so. Then Lando ate into that already small gap (for Max) of like 6-7sec and seriously challenged Max for P1! I think the gap the two was down to 0.7sec. I was wearing my RBR jacket; thought I might have to change into my McLaren jacket! One more lap and I think Lando would've had Max.

I definitely expect Lando at the top of the podium again at some point this season. And I'm looking forward to it.

Next race:

Monaco Grand Prix
Circuit de Monaco
Sunday, May 26

Lastly...LOTS of racing next weekend. Aside from Monaco, IndyCar's 108th running of the Indianpolis 500 is on Sunday, along with NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 only a couple hours later. There's also the Formula E Shanghai E-Prix and a MotoGP race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. I'm sure there're more, but these are some of the bigger races.

      I watched the race late and knew who won going in, and I was still convinced that lando was going to pass him.

    there is a shitload of money on the table for Liberty and the teams to sell reversible jackets. Red Bull outside with a McLaren interior would be amazing.

      Ha, I would definitely buy one. Forget the dripping-with-sequins F1 Las Vegas jacket. Or even the Blue Ferrari Miami jacket (which is nice, but not for $400+ nice). Give me something like a...

        if i have $400 to spend in Miami, I’m getting a sandwich. There’s some real potential here.
