Last year, we couldn't enjoy an exciting qualifying session in Imola because the grand prix was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. However, in the last edition in 2022, Verstappen convincingly clinched pole position. This year, the situation is different as Ferrari, among others, comes with a significant update package for their home race, and McLaren aims to continue their success after the win in Miami.
