Original title: F1 rainy conditions accidents are frequent, the Imola track is chaotic into a pot of porridge, Ferrari still take one or two!
In the practice of the Imola Grand Prix, Leclerc brushed the fastest lap.
In the first practice of the Italian Imola Grand Prix, two Ferrari drivers once again finished in the top two. It can be seen that Ferrari is still a strong contender for the championship in this race. Due to the serious water on the road area and the slippery site, many riders have had slipping errors, and the scene is also in constant condition.
Bottas made his first appearance in Imola practice.
At the beginning of the first practice session, it was still Bottas who came out to test first. Bottas has made several debut in practice sessions this season, and Alfa Romeo seems to be looking to improve the car's stability by practicing longer. As can be seen from the rain and fog behind the Bottas car, the water accumulation on the track is quite serious. And Bottas did not dare to be careless, using full rain tires for practice.
Leclerc had a sideslip and stopped sideways on the track.
Just eight minutes into practice, Leclerc slipped and stopped sideways on the track. Fortunately, there were no problems with the car, and with a little tweaking, you can continue racing.
In order to get the car, Latifi drove into the gravel floor.
Williams' Latifi also rushed off the track ten minutes into the race, sacrificing himself to get the car behind him, and no driver had yet made a valid lap.
Norris also rushed off the track and into the gravel.
Twentieth minutes into the race, Norris became the next driver to break off the track, his car slipping sideways into the gravel when cornering. At this time, the top three positions on the field are Leclerc, Verstappen, Sainz, or familiar taste, familiar recipe.
Vettel played on half-rain tires.
As the race was halfway through and the conditions were improving, Aston Martin's Vettel was the first to put on half-rain tyres to test his speed.
Vettel managed to move up to fourth.
Vettel's choice proved to be correct, and after changing to a half-rain tyre, he refreshed his results to fourth place, after he had almost finished at the bottom. After half-time, the top three were Pérez, Leclerc and Sainz.
After changing to a half-rain tire, Sainz set a new record to first place.
Seeing that the half-rain tires had some results, all the drivers also changed and went out to prepare for new results. Sainz increased his full speed to 1:32.606 after setting a new score, 1.7 seconds faster than the second-place Perez!
Leclerc three-stage brush purple, rising to the first!
And Leclerc also flashed the full speed of the field to 1:29.402 with 10 minutes left in the practice session, which was also the first time to enter the 1:30 mark, and Leclerc painted the results in three instant segments.
Norris enters the gravel again, and the red flag will be shown!
At the last moment, Norris slipped again into the gravel. The car was unable to move for a while, and the race quickly showed the red flag. Fortunately, Norris was able to reverse the car, but the race was suspended for two minutes.
Bottas skated off the track at the last minute.
When the race resumed, there were just over 2 minutes left, so the riders only had one lap to make a result. However, everyone failed to refresh their results within the allotted time, but Alfa Romeo's Bottas skated off the track at the last minute, and during the reverse process, the rear wheels were suspended again, and the trailer could only be cleared.
The final result of the Imola Grand Prix practice.
In the end, Scuderia Ferrari's Leclerc was first in 1:29.402, Sainz was second behind 0.877 and Verstappen was third. Ranked 4th to 10th were Magnussen, Mick Schumacher, Perez, Alonso, Vettel, Tsunoda and Russell, while Chinese rider Zhou Guanyu was ranked 19th.
