Max Verstappen Takes Pole Position at Emilio-Romagna Grand Prix

Max Verstappen will start the Emilio-Romagna Grand Prix from the pole position. This marks his seventh pole position of the season and the eighth in a row, equalling the old record of Ayrton Senna, fittingly at Imola.

Joining Verstappen on the grid is Lando Norris, not Oscar Piastri. The Australian received a three-place grid penalty after qualifying for holding up Kevin Magnussen. Despite the penalty, it shows that McLaren, like in the previous race in Miami, has made a significant step forward. Will Lando Norris, after his victory, dare to flex his muscles even more on the track?

Second Row Dominated by Ferrari

The second row is entirely in red, although Ferrari, with the major upgrade introduced this weekend, secretly expected a bit more. However, the speed is good, and both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz should be able to join the fight for the lead.

Japanese Surprise on the Grid

A pleasant Japanese surprise is found a bit further on the grid. Yuki Tsunoda has been impressively fast all weekend and may be able to climb a few places in the race from P7. How great would that be for VCARB, located a stone’s throw from this circuit?

Disappointments on the Grid

Then there are two drivers who could, no, should have been much further forward on the grid. First, Sergio Pérez. The Mexican made a small mistake in Q2 and therefore did not get further than P11. Quite painful because Red Bull’s sister team did promote both drivers to Q3. The other disappointment is Fernando Alonso, who starts from the last row. Today was not the Spaniard’s day.

Of course, these gentlemen will move further forward, but on the narrow track where overtaking is difficult and every mistake is severely punished, this will be very difficult. Unless we get a crazy race with safety cars. Fortunately, these are a bit faster than the Opel Vectra used in Imola in 1994…
