The F1 circus has already arrived in the Emilia Romagna region for the Imola GP. Teams have started testing their cars around the track in practice sessions.

In Miami GP, Lando Norris became a race winner for the first time in his F1 career. The McLaren driver outright beat Max Verstappen, by keeping the lead of the race and getting a free pitstop under safety car period. The Miami GP became the second race of the season that Red Bull did not win, the first being the Australian GP, where Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz won.

Though teams are currently accumulating data during practice sessions, one of the most exciting sessions in an F1 weekend is qualifying. Here is everything to know about the Imola GP qualifying session:
