Max Verstappen delivered a masterclass at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, taking a commanding win in Red Bull’s 400th race! 🏁
•
The four-time champion wasted no time, making a stunning first-lap move around the outside of Oscar Piastri into Turn 1 to snatch the lead. 🔥
•
From there, it was all about control. Despite two safety car periods late in the race that brought the field back together, Verstappen stayed calm under pressure and nailed the restart to pull away once again. 💯
•
Behind him, McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris went head-to-head for P2 in a tense battle. Norris, on much fresher tyres, eventually made the move with five laps to go, reducing Piastri’s lead over him in the championship to just 13 points. Verstappen now sits only 9 points behind Norris in the title fight. 👀

Lewis Hamilton also impressed, charging from 12th on the grid to finish fourth for Ferrari with a smart strategy and well-timed pit stops under the virtual and full safety cars...
