Max Verstappen has won the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix the last three times it has been held. While Red Bull is not as strong as it once was, Verstappen says they have been working hard for another win at the Imola track.

'Qualifying will be key'

In Red Bull Racing's Imola race preview, Verstappen said, "It was good to have a weekend off before going into the triple header. I have been back at the factory with the Team on the sim this week, which has been good."

"The team has been working really hard, and we will need to hit the ground running. Imola is a really old school and iconic track that is really technical and I always enjoy racing here."

He added, "It is difficult to overtake, so qualifying will be key here."

This weekend is a special one for Verstappen's team.

"Imola marks the team’s 400th race this weekend; we have had a lot to be proud of over the years and smashed so many records, so it is great to be able to look at what the team has built and, of course, for us keep pushing to achieve more."
