Remember my post about Red Bull's thermal cams , the Red Bull and Ferrari thermal cams showes blue and not red zones at the McLaren MCL39 (!)
As I said : Blue is cold and red is hot ..
It's impossible for all the other teams to copy&paste the advanced McLaren PCM technology in this 2025 season .
The entire McLaren MCL39 car is built around the PCM technology , this means the entire car remains colder.
In other words : Too bad for us and all the other teams (!)

I don't think the Larens will have much of an advantage as they did in Miami where the hot weather and smooth wide track was a plus for their cooled rear brakes, the Imola track temps will be much cooler, its bumpy with high speeds so I'm guessing it to be more closer and its very hard to pass here.
