Red Bull driver Max Verstappen of the Netherlands celebrates after winning the Italy's Emilia Romagna Formula One Grand Prix, in Imola, Italy, May 18, 2025

MAX VERSTAPPEN’S brilliant opening-corner move on Oscar Piastri fired him to victory at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix today.

The Dutchman clinched a fourth successive win at Imola in Red Bull’s 400th race to end championship leader Piastri’s three-race winning run after taking the lead at the first chicane.

Verstappen was in control of the race but had to see off a late challenge, after a safety car slashed his lead, to clinch his second win of the season.
