Let's go on!
Hamilton made a good restart and kept the lead over Bottas.
Red Bull driver Albon first loses several places and then spins on the track.

That can't be true!
Vettel holds out 40 laps and drives into the pits.
But then suddenly there are problems, something seems to be stuck.

Pity!
Vettel is only in 14th position, from where he started the race.
37/63:
Bottas
crashed
over the curbs in a curve and probably damaged his car in the process.

Only Vettel and Raikkonen were not in the box yet.

A shortened format is being tested in Imola.
The traditional Friday training sessions of two times 90 minutes are no longer applicable; before
qualifying
on Saturday afternoon (2 p.m.) and the race on Sunday (1:10 p.m. / RTL and Sky each), the drivers only had one and a half hours on Saturday morning to set up their cars.
Update from October 30th, 10.45 a.m.:
Formula 1 waived the free practice sessions on Friday and only let the engines howl on Saturday.
But it's not the only exciting news from the paddock: Alfa Romeo has extended with Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi.
Also means: Mick Schumacher doesn't get a cockpit there!
The 21-year-old was last linked to Alfa.
Formula 1 in the live ticker: No free practice sessions on Imola Friday
Initial report of 30 October, 7:41:
Imola - For the third time this season, the
Formula 1
in
Italy
as a guest.
The
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
takes place in
Imola
, on the Autodromo
Enzo e Dino Ferrari
.
Only because of Corona has the Grand Prix slipped into the calendar as an alternative date.
Follow the race live on TV and in the stream.
Formula 1 in the live ticker: Michael Schumacher last won in Imola
Imola
has hosted the premier class 27 times, most recently 14 years ago.
The winner at the time was Michael Schumacher in his last Ferrari year.
The almost five kilometer long course is inextricably linked with April 30th and May 1st 1994, when Roland Ratzenberger and three-time world champion Ayrton Senna were killed in serious accidents.
The Finnish oldie
Kimi Räikkönen
(41 / Alfa Romeo) has
already driven Formula 1 races
from the current field of drivers in
Imola
, and the track is basically completely new territory for the teams.
But nobody should believe that this will cause a sensation.
So far, Mercedes has had the best solution on every "unknown" route.
On the much more demanding circuit in
Portimao
,
Lewis Hamilton was
once again
driving
in a league of its own.
But:
There is
no
training Friday in
Imola
, the drivers are given 90 minutes to test on Saturday from 10 a.m.
Qualifying begins at 2 p.m.
The premier class wants to test a new format with it.
If that works out?
The race on Sunday starts at 1:10 p.m. because of the early darkness.
Formula 1 in the live ticker: is Mercedes already winning the title in Imola?
Mercedes has its seventh consecutive constructor's title in sight, that would be the only record.
Only
Red Bull
can postpone the decision again, but
Max Verstappen
and
Alexander Albon
would have to score at least 34 points more than
Hamilton
and
Valtteri Bottas
- the Bulls did not manage to do that once this season.
At least
Hamilton
can
not yet become world champion himself
in
Imola
, but the Briton is getting closer and closer to his goal with only five races left.
Hamilton
rushes
from one record to the next
in
Formula 1
.
In the previous week he took his 92nd victory in Portugal and outstripped
Michael Schumacher
.
With his seventh world title,
Hamilton
would
set another record.
Even Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel cannot prevent the Briton from
stealing
one record after another from
his idol
Schumacher
.
Formula 1 in the live ticker: Sebastian Vettel before the last Grand Prix in Italy as a Ferrari driver
Vettel
only collected 18 points and is not surprisingly only in 13th place in the drivers' standings.
The Heppenheimer has big plans for the last races before moving to
Aston Martin
next year
.
In Imola he makes a new attempt.
“I've never driven in Imola before, but everyone knows the circuit because it has been an integral part of the racing calendar for so many years,” says
Sebastian Vettel
, looking
ahead to the weekend.
“I was there in 2006 and that is the only memory I have of Imola when I was a substitute driver for the BMW-Sauber team.
I haven't even walked the distance, so this will be my first race there. "
Most recently, conspiracy theories came up as to whether
Vettel
and teammate Charles Leclerc have the same cars available.
On Sunday after finishing tenth at the Portuguese Grand Prix,
Vettel
declared nebulously: “I have to believe that we have the same car and I trust the people in my garage.” However, he “constantly has real problems getting good laps together be and feel the grip that Charles obviously feels. "(ck / dpa / sid)
