All the teams and drivers turned up to race in Imola as normal and everyone pretended that was indeed normal, despite Hitech’s team director William Oakes being arrested and charged with “transferring criminal property” after being caught hanging out with “a large amount of cash.” Just another day in the life of the F2 circus, I guess…?
Imola
Piastri: I’m keeping the lead!
Russell: I’m coming through!
Verstappen: I’m sending it round the outside, byeee! *Drives away*
Virtual Safety Car, Safety Car, pit stops, reshuffle.
Albon vs. the Ferraris,
McLaren vs. McLaren,
Alonso vs. the universe,
Verstappen wins.
It was the first time second-tier motorsport had been to Imola in AGES so all the drivers were made to talk about how much they loved the history. Everyone except Cem Bölükbasi, who had fractured a rib after crashing a load of times and was replaced by David Beckmann. Get well soon Cem!
