A standout Emilia Romagna weekend is what set Max Verstappen's sights on his second F1 title...
The 2022 campaign certainly began on a rough note for Red Bull with the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix bringing a double DNF, Verstappen on to finish P2 at the point where his RB18 let him down.
And it was Imola, where Verstappen won the sprint and Emila Romagna GP, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc spun and finished P6, that inspired Verstappen to believe he could win the title. “But I would say the way we bounced back after of course, a tough weekend in Australia to then go to Imola and the weekend we had was just incredible.
“I think they had a faster car than us in the early part of the season,” Horner suggested. “And I think that we were able to stay in touch and that was very, very important, particularly after, I mean, our championship was 21 races because we missed the first one by having a double DNF. Although Verstappen ultimately secured the title with four rounds still to go, after those early frustrations he tackled the rest of the season with the mindset that he could not afford any mistakes.
“I think anyway you know that when you have to fight for a title, you have to score points basically every race as much as you can. That’s why of course in the beginning of the year, it was very tough to have these DNFs, but I knew from that point onwards, I could not afford any mistake from my side in case we would have a retirement for whatever reason.
