Imola was an interesting race that had some curve balls; I'll let the highlight show you the major beats, but Valteri had some bad luck, but not horribly bad - he hit some debris which slowed his pace. Verstappen had some horribly bad luck with a puncture late while in 2nd place, Gasly and Ocon retired with mechanical failures/ailments and Ricciardo got on the podium again, but this time made sure to enjoy his shuey -- Hams joined him. Mercedes-AMG took their 7th straight manufacturers title, leaving the Drivers Championship the only title left to claim; Hamilton taking his 94th win has it pretty much sown up. He has the potential of taking it this weekend in Turkey. In the meantime, Albon and Vettel still struggle with cars more suited to their counterparts and Renault just took over third in the constructors, one point over McLaren, with Daniels strong performances. Istanbul Park should be another interesting adventure with many drivers learning the track for the first time.

Enjoy your Motorsport Weekends.
