Coming here after winning the season’s first race at Bahrain few weeks back, the winning glare is still fresh on him.

What to expect from Lewis Hamilton at Imola
Lewis started as the underdog at the recently concluded Sakhir Circuit over Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Throughout the pre-season testing, as well as the final qualification, Hamilton was the second best. However, with sheer perfection and better strategy, the 36-year-old driver snatched the win from the Red Bull prodigy.

Lewis stands at P1 while Max is heeling him at P2. The season is still very long and still wide open. Hamilton being the title favorite alongside Max Verstappen, it’ll be interesting to see how the race at Imola turns out. The fans are all eagerly waiting if Lewis can repeat Sakhir or he’ll have to see Max turns the table.
