“Nothing is easier than deluding oneself, because what every man desires, he also believes to be true.” Ferrari and McLaren fans should study Demosthenes because actually before the official tests, for many there was a tangible possibility that Verstappen would leave room for the others for pole.
And yet nothing. After free practices to forget, Max returned to doing what he does best: dominating. First in Q1, first in Q2 and then a spectacular pole position. With a crazy time: 1.14.746 ahead of the two rocket-missile McLarens and the two Reds.
A masterful performance also for the suspicions that Red Bull is not going as usual: strange jumps on the tough curbs of Imola and – above all – Perez thrown out in Q2 without sensational errors. Not that the butler is a phenomenon, we know that. But being excluded from the pole dance like this is too much even for him. In short, Max is the same as always. The conditions for a dominating race are all there. Amen.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the fact that the race will be opened by a choir of 20 former flood victims singing the Mameli anthem. So as not to forget, to always make the hearts of the fans beat faster.
The children’s choir of Imola is that of the “golden cricket”, connected to the Antoniano of Bologna famous for the Zecchino d’oro, which involves children aged 4 to 13 coming, as we were saying, from areas that were flooded in May 2023. And before the notes of the anthem sound, almost one hundred children from the Pelloni Tabanelli primary school in Imola will give life to a mass choreography, in homage to Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger. Moving in unison, they will raise their arms to the sky to create the flags of Brazil and Austria. They will always be the ones to make up the Italian tricolor on the grid. Handsome. Applause.
