The 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix showed just how lethal Max Verstappen is when his Red Bull is a pace setting car and of course, reliable as well.

Red Bull Racing was practically unchallenged at Imola and Verstappen made the most of it to take a sizeable chunk out of Charles Leclerc's early season lead in the Drivers' Championship.

34 points - the maximum a driver could score on a 'Sprint + Grand Prix' weekend format; and that's exactly what Verstappen did in Imola. In fact, it's the first time in the history of this format that a driver has scored the maximum available points through the weekend.

Is there more to Toto Wolff's post-race apology to Lewis Hamilton? 

The colder temperatures - were they a performance differentiating factor this weekend? 

Finally, are Alfa Romeo & Haas the underperformers of the season yet?
