The Constructors championship leader Ferrari has been the strongest team to beat since the season began claiming victories in two of the first three races. But with Max Verstappen out qualifying Charles Leclerc in front of the Tifosi, the hopes in the Red Bull garage are high.

“Our update works,” said Helmut Marko proudly when asked about the success Red Bull has found with their new package. Marko is also confident that these will come in handy in the Saturday sprint race and the main race on Sunday even if the weather is sunny or in wet conditions like Qualifying. “We’ve hardly had any experience in dry weather. But once you’re upfront, it should be easier.”

The Emilia Romagna GP will host the first sprint race of the 2022 F1 season. If Verstappen wins the sprint, he takes home 8 additional points. And if he can claim a race win and fastest lap on Sunday, they will be awarded 34 points in total. This gives Verstappen a great chance to trim his 46 point deficit to championship leader Leclerc.
