Max Verstappen and Red Bull stormed to victory at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, leaving Mercedes and Ferrari far behind. Verstappen praised his team for their execution which ultimately resulted in Red Bull winning the ‘maximum amount of points’, despite such an ‘intense weekend’. Leclerc became over ambitious towards the end of the race and ‘lost the car’ after trying to push for too much speed – a move which saw him drop from third to sixth. Mercedes, meanwhile, continued their unfortunate season with Hamilton placing 13th on the podium. Toto Wolff took to the team radio after the race to apologise to Hamilton for his ‘undriveable’ car, with the driver declaring that this race was ‘the worst it’s felt’.
