Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2022: Time, TV, schedule, live stream

Formula 1 touches down in Europe for the first time this season for the 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.

This will be the third staging of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, but never before have Ferrari gone into their home event in such a commanding position.

Charles Leclerc pulled off the grand slam last time out, claiming pole in Australia and following that up with victory and the fastest lap after leading every lap.

Red Bull, meanwhile, lost 18 more crucial points as Max Verstappen retired from P2 for the second time this season.

Leclerc holds a 34-point lead over Mercedes’ George Russell at the top of the Drivers’ Championship, while Ferrari are 39 points clear at the top of the Constructors’.
