Worth Watching Score

3.6

Imola 2024 is a low-drama watch overall: Verstappen controlled most of the race, with only one retirement and long, uninterrupted running. The payoff is a tense final stint as Norris slashes the gap and finishes on Verstappen’s gearbox, turning the last few laps into a genuine fight for the win. Leclerc’s steady run to third keeps Ferrari fans engaged, while most of the 32 overtakes come from midfield shuffles rather than big headline moves. If you want chaos and wheel-to-wheel action, skip it; if a strategic race with a gripping finish appeals, jump to the closing laps.
