- Charles Leclerc drops from third to sixth after late spin
- Sergio Pérez and Lando Norris complete podium; Hamilton 14th
Max Verstappen won the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix with a commanding drive for Red Bull from pole position, with his teammate Sergio Pérez in second. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc made a costly mistake in the final stages dropping him from third to a sixth-placed finish and allowing Verstappen to take a huge chunk out of his championship lead. McLaren’s Lando Norris took third.
The race was one to forget in difficult circumstances for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. The seven-time champion started in 14th and finished in the same position in a car that has been an absolute handful to drive all weekend, but his teammate George Russell will take heart in a gutsy fourth. Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas was in fifth.
