Alex and Carlos Kick Off European Run at Historic Imola

Formula 1 returns to Europe for the 2025 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, one of the sport’s most storied circuits and the start of another demanding triple-header. After scoring big in Miami, Atlassian Williams Racing heads to Italy in high spirits and eager to continue their strong form.

Alex Albon is ready to take on the legendary track and keep the momentum rolling.

"Imola is a classic F1 circuit with lots of motorsport history, so it’s a nice one to mark the start of the European season,” he shared before heading to Italy.

“We’ve had some really good results so far this year and it’s great to be heading into the European leg off the back of a very strong points finish in Miami. We know we have to get everything perfect to continue achieving those results, so we all need to be on our A game going into the triple-header."

Carlos Sainz is also excited to be back on familiar ground and is aiming to make the most of the opportunities Imola presents.

"I’m really looking forward to the European leg of the season, where we go racing on some incredible tracks and street circuits,” Carlos commented.

“First up is Imola, a historic track which always presents opportunities, and makes Qualifying all the more important with overtaking being a challenge around this track. As a team, we’ve learned a lot since Miami, so I’m looking forward to building on the momentum and having a strong weekend."
