Official 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Thread **SPOILERS**

[Piginapoke]

We’re back in Imola after missing it last year. The circuit is fast and narrow, and makes for good racing and on occasion big accidents. Best of all, the oaf Croft is missing this race. Harry Benjamin takes his place.

Well done to Lando and McLaren for a fantastic drive and win last time out. Both McLaren’s will have the full upgrade package at Imola and I expect Piastri to be right up there.

Ferrari are bringing a major upgrade, including the Red Bull “over-bite” side pods and it will be interesting to see how that works:



Obviously, after Miami, poll is for the win

Bloody hell PiP, up early this morning. Great thread as always, I use this thread to follow the race in real time, as I have no access to live broadcast. Thank you.

Couldn't sleep Gregg Glad you find these threads useful.

Thanks once again PiaP for your stand-out thread contribution to PH F1.

Back to situation normal I feel, with a slightly-less wafty win for Max. Just hope I am wrong...

You're probably right Phil, but the McLaren was right up there on race pace with RBR in Miami. I also have the sense that Ferrari are finally on a good development path- the upgrades look good.

Mercedes- on the other hand- look to be a disaster.

Thanks as always PIAP!

I think we will see a Max win, but Perez pushed to 5th or worse with the Ferraris & McLarens splitting the rest of the top 5.

My go to for seeing what time the races are, the TV coverage etc

RB return to dominance I fear, then question on Mclaren/Ferrari as next best team?

Likewise, I much appreciate your posts in the Donald Trump thread!

M1K3 you are a complete star but sadly my weekend is all booked up with cycling, beer and family! I hope you put the spare ticket to good use- what a few days you will have!

M1K3 said:

If anyone does come for the ticket, I can inform you the foods not bad!

That’s not helping!

I woke up this morning to my phone buzzing from a call from ‘The Dutchman’ who has taken on the challenge of driving to Italy to claim a race day Paddock Club pass!

Absolutely fantastic and hope the blind date goes well!!
