Ferrari has been absolutely dominant when it came to pace this year. They’ve not only picked up five podiums out of six possible chances but also picked up two poles out of three races. While Leclerc looks an absolute beast with his F1-75, teammate Carlos Sainz is not far behind.
Charles leads the championship with 71 points while Carlos sits at P3 with 33 points. Unfortunately, the Spaniard had a DNF in the last race in Australia, otherwise, he’d have fetched more points. On the other hand, Ferrari is ahead of P2 Mercedes by 39 points as they are currently at 104 points.
Ferrari fans are absolutely excited
The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is Ferrari’s home race. The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari is all set to host the first Sprint race of the season. This Italian venue is one of the most talked-about circuits in F1 and it has got its legends.
Talking about Tifosi, they’re the Ferrari loyalists. It is believed that the Imola circuit often becomes hostile for rival teams to race on as it is flocked by the Tifosi.
