The Formula 1 season is now moving to Europe with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix 2025, which is scheduled to start on May 17. It marks the beginning of the European triple-header and is the seventh round of this year’s Formula 1.

Heading into the race, Oscar Piastri leads the championship after his third consecutive victory at Miami. He is followed by teammate Lando Norris, who trails the Australian by 16 points. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is 32 points behind Piastri and will be looking to replicate his victory at Imola last year. Mercedes’ George Russell achieved his fourth podium of the year by finishing third at Miami. 

The Imola circuit was absent from the F1 schedule since 2006 and made a comeback only in 2020 in the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The race was cancelled in 2023 due to heavy rainfall.
