Giles Richards was at Imola, here is his race report:
That’s all from me. Thanks for reading, bye.
Charles Leclerc has a chat. He is asked: Could Ferrari have done any more today? “Honestly, I don’t think so. We had to cover for Oscar [Piastri] in the first stint. No way we can lose track position on a track like this … Oscar was pushing hard … that made it difficult for me to manage tyres.
“I was coming back on Lando, I thought, ‘OK, maybe I can put him under pressure’ … they [McLaren] were strong, but today, I really believe it was about track position. Our race pace is very strong … what makes me optimistic is if I look at the data … we lost everything in the straights … We’ve got to look into it: it’s nothing that is not possible to change. Once we’ve fixed that, we’ve got a real shot of going back on the top step of the podium.”
