Round 2 of the 2021 Formula 1 season takes us to Emilia-Romagna region of Italy for the Imola Grand Prix. Despite qualifying being the fastest session of the race weekend, it is the race which yields points to the drivers.

Sunday's Imola Grand Prix is a 63-lap race on a 4.9km long circuit. The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari consists of 19 corners and a solitary DRS zone. The Imola Grand Prix is happening for a second successive year after returning to the Formula 1 calendar last season for the first time since 2006.

The Imola Grand Prix looks set to be another venue for the Mercedes vs Red Bull battle for supremacy. Friday and Saturday sessions have shown that the battle for the win will be close between Verstappen, Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.

Meanwhile, Ferrari are looking strong for the first time in quite a while. With the new aero upgrades brought in for the Imola Grand Prix, the Scuderia will be hoping for an outside chance of a podium.

Midfield battle is again unpredictable as usual. AlphaTauri have a big advantage over other teams in the midfield pack as they use this circuit for all their testing. McLaren, on the other hand, look decent but not as promising as they were in Bahrain.
