The Emilia Romagna GP is one of two home Italian races for Ferrari this season, with fans - who were not allowed to attend the 20 events - set to pour into the historic Imola circuit for the first time since 2006. "It's great to be back in this position." Lewis Hamilton still wore jewellery for the Australian GP despite the FIA's crackdown, with Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz reporting there may be a 'grace period'. "We've always been there, so I hope it continues like this and if it does, then we probably have chances for the championship, which obviously makes me smile after the last two years that have been difficult for the team and obviously for myself. "Obviously we only had the third race, so it's difficult to think about the championship, but to be honest, we've got a very strong car, a very reliable car too," said Leclerc after winning the Australian GP. Something which, understandably, brings a smile to his face. Leclerc's talent has been clear over three years in Ferrari, but this may be the first season where he has a car that can consistently contend towards the front. Leclerc's nearest challenger is currently George Russell in the Mercedes, with last year's championship protagonists Hamilton and Verstappen only fifth and sixth in the standings with both pace and reliability concerns. Charles Leclerc doesn’t want to think about his lead in the Drivers' Championship and feels his mindset is where it needs to be after winning the Australian GP.
