Racing Bulls will participate in one of its home races this weekend at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Ahead of the weekend, Chief Technical Officer, Tim Goss weighed in on the battle ahead of them.

Goss said, "Imola one of the classic racing circuits on the calendar, being relatively narrow by modern standards and incorporating a mix of low speed and high speed corners plus changes of elevation."

Racing Bulls are confident in their performance

He continued, "It is a driver's favourite. We come here with the small bonus of some familiarity from pre-season activities on this circuit and on the back of a solid performance at Miami."

Isack Hadjar placed just outside of the points in 11th place, while Liam Lawson did not finish the race.

"Imola is one of our home GPs, allowing us the freedom to get the car's fully prepared at the factory just down the road. The midfield battle remains incredibly close, so every last bit of performance, preparation and execution will make the difference."

Goss noted, "We arrive with further confidence in our understanding of how to get the most out of the car following the setup work completed at the last race and some aerodynamic updates that should hopefully keep us in the fight.”

Racing Bulls are not the only team to bring upgrades as Aston Martin also have big plans for Imola.
