This weekend's Formula One World Championship will come to the Imola circuit in Emilia Romagna, Italy, in the past two seasons, 4 home races in Italy, Ferrari team has not been able to stand on the podium, this season strong return to the peak of their own, naturally this station home game is ambitious.
According to media reports, on the evening of April 18, local time, Leclerc, the current Number one driver of the Ferrari team, also took advantage of the short holiday before the start of the home race to meet with trainers and friends. They were recognized by enthusiastic fans on the ill-lit Streets of Salvatori, who then surrounded Leclerc for group photos and autographs. Unexpectedly, someone snatched away the million-yuan expensive watch leclerc was wearing in his hand under the chaotic scene. Lekou later realized that his watch had been stolen and immediately reported the crime to the police.
The game has not yet begun, first lost a watch, I don't know if this little episode will affect the mood of le dunk against Imola this weekend.
It is worth mentioning that this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix will also play the first sprint of the season.
As with last season, there will be three sprints in F1 this season, but the tracks will be switched to Imola in Italy, Red Bull Ring in Austria and Interlagos in Brazil. The sprint is still 100km long, and there is no mandatory stop to change tires during the race. The timing is also the same as before, with a first practice and qualifying match on Friday, a second practice and sprint on Saturday, and a regular race on Sunday.
Unlike last season's "qualifying sprint", this season's sprint no longer determines the attribution of the "pole position" mark. The driver who gets the fastest lap in Friday's qualifying will be labelled "pole position" and will be the first to start in Saturday's sprint. And while sprint winners are no longer marked as "pole positions," Sunday's regular start order is based on sprint results.
The most notable change is the change in the rules of the race points: the top three in last season's sprint can earn points, 3 points, 2 points and 1 point respectively; this season, the gold content of sprint points has increased significantly, and the top 8 drivers in the race will receive points, and the first place will receive 8 points, which will be reduced in turn. This is bound to strengthen the emphasis that teams and drivers attach to sprint racing.
And our Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu will also participate in the sprint in Formula 1 for the first time. Under the new format, will Xiao Zhou be able to get points?

Earlier, Red Bull Racing's racing consultant Helmut Marko revealed: "Ferrari racing is fast in any situation. In contrast, our car is more difficult to tune. But we'll bring a weight reduction kit on the Imola track, and we should have improved our lap times. "However, in the current situation of Red Bull Racing, the fuel system problem of the power unit will be a more important lesson.
