It will be the first of three sprint events this season used to determine the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix.

But after a frenetic conclusion to the 21-lap dash, Verstappen ruined Ferrari’s homecoming party by fighting his way ahead of Leclerc at the Variante Tamburello to take the chequered flag and pole position for tomorrow’s main event. The top eight finishers all picked up extra points from the sprint. Red Bull and Ferrari are clearly the two fastest teams this season. “It would be ideal to get a one-two tomorrow. “It is incredible. “It was important to minimise qualifying from yesterday.

World champion will start P1 on Sunday and claimed championship eight points, while Lewis Hamilton struggled with his Mercedes and will begin in 14th.

With the victory Verstappen has secured pole for Sunday a potentially vital achievement at Imola where overtaking is difficult. It was a bravura move, perfectly executed and the sort of racing the sprint race has long needed. He was third several laps later, an impressive run and vital for Red Bull so he can play his part in the race tomorrow. Max Verstappen won the sprint race for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola and in doing so secured pole for Sunday’s race.

The championship leader skated away, Verstappen in tow. Green-flag racing would resume on Lap 5, Leclerc leading Verstappen then Norris at the time. Friday's wet qualifying session set the grid for this Sprint, Verstappen having taken pole position over Leclerc with Lando Norris leading Kevin Magnussen off the second row. Gearbox issues put Esteban Ocon 19th for the start of the Sprint and he made up three places for P16 in the Alpine, keeping Gasly – who collided with Zhou at the start and pitted for a nose change – 17th. Magnussen held on for the final point, finishing ahead of Alpine's Fernando Alonso in P9 – who started fifth but couldn't contend with his rivals' pace on the softs – and the other Haas of Mick Schumacher, who took P10 on mediums. It was Leclerc, to a rapturous reception from the tifosi, who took the lead off Verstappen as the lights went out – only for the Safety Car to interrupt proceedings as Zhou Guanyu (DNF) and Pierre Gasly (P19) made contact through Turn 9 on Lap 1.

The first practice session was pretty wet and the qualifying session (the traditional hour-long three part one) went from drying to damp. It always is and it always is this time of year. and the Ferrari has quite a bit of clipping at the end of the straight. The back of the pack are very slow to form up. Gasly has dropped to the back and has a front right puncture. But dropping down the order is not much of a help, is it? Sainz sets after Magnussen and with the aid of DRS. He goes around the outside and is into sixth. Leclerc has stretched his lead a little with the fastest lap of the race. He gets a bit of a wobble on in Rivazza 2. I think we were a bit better on our tyres towards the end of the race. Red Bull now into second ahead of Mercedes. 14 points for the Bulls and none for Mercedes will do that. A good fight for the lead and a fair bit of action down the track too.
