HISTORIC MINARDI DAY AT IMOLA AND THE DUTCH F1 GP. IT STARTS AGAIN! MAXI SCREEN AT IMOLA
With the end of the summer break, we can restart with a super weekend of Motorsport and Formula 1. On the one hand, at the Imola Circuit there will be the 8th edition of the Historic Minardi Day, an event that confirms that it is growing, with many cars, drivers and F1 cars (37 the historic F1 cars expected) for two days of fun.
On the other hand, the World Championship starts again from the Dutch GP. It is a particular circuit in which the host Max Verstappen will try to make up for what was lost in the recent rounds. We expect an extremely competitive second half of the championship with three/four teams fighting for the win. It will be interesting to see which new developments will be brought onto the track by all the teams which surely have not been with their arms crossed.
In my opinion, Verstappen and Red Bull remain the point of reference for everybody, but they must be wary of both McLaren and Mercedes.
Mercedes will rely on its reliability, but, above all, on the quality of its power-unit which, in addition to having a consistent number of “horses”, is the one with the lowest consumption
In this moment McLaren can count on the best pair of drivers as shown also by the ladder. If Norris was not perfect in the last few rounds, making fundamental mistakes (especially at the start), Piastri has shown all his worth. As far as I am concerned, I consider him to be one of the best drivers of the new generation, and as he grows, he is able to put another driver who demands respect in difficulty, like Lando.
Zandvoort will be the antechamber to Monza.
Considering the conjunction of the Historic Minardi Day and F1, there will be a maxi screen within the Paddock of the Imola Circuit to follow all the phases of the 15th round of the world championship.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Imola.
Gian Carlo Minardi
