F1 2024: MSC Cruises Gran Premio del Made in Italy E Dell'Emilia-Romagna

The F1 '24 season continues in Imola for the MSC Cruises Gran Premio del Made in Italy E Dell'Emilia-Romagna.

Long before the race starts, the entire Formula 1 drivers, staff, and audience are paying their respects in honor of Ayrton Senna who died in this exact racetrack 30 years ago.

After honoring Senna's 30th death anniversary. the F1 race in Imola has officially begun with Lance Stroll making headlines for his 150th F1 career race start.

10 laps later, Williams driver Alex Albon went to the pits due to his tire issues followed by Perez accidentally going off-track on Lap 18. As the leaders pit themselves, Lewis Hamilton on Lap 28 saw him end up on the gravel at the Acque Minerali corner.

With two-thirds of this race done, Verstappen leads while Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are busy hunting the world champion. Even though Verstappen is facing some issues, from the tires to the battery power, he's still fighting his way until the end.
