After the
qualifying at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Hamilton explained: “You can overtake on the long straight, but it’s pretty tight and you can’t stay tuned. And from turn 1 it becomes a procession. Otherwise there is no more overtaking point. “
If you manage to follow another vehicle very closely, you will have the opportunity to attempt an overtaking with DRS” hopefully before Turn 1 “, says Hamilton. He warns: “To really have a probability, you have to be about two seconds faster than the car in front of you.” And he doubts that there will be such differences in the race.

Bottas is also enthusiastic about Imola.” I enjoy this track “says the pole-setter.” When you are here at full throttle, it’s wonderful. “
Hamilton: You don’t build such routes anymore

Imola is just a “classic” among the racetracks, “and of course it also has history,” says Hamilton. “And then this course is also in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy.”
What happens on Sunday under the autumn sun of Emilia-Romagna? Bottas at least believes in a hot start phase. “The approach to turn 1 is one of the longest in the entire calendar,” he explains. “Plus no doubt: Lewis and Max will chase me. “
