Red Bull domination in Imola, Verstappen triumphs over Perez. Leclerc makes a mistake and finishes sixth
An error ten laps from the end costs the Ferrari driver the podium, Norris wins third place
(Handle)
Red Bull dominates at home and takes the top two positions in the Imola Grand Prix, with world champion Verstappen ahead of Perez. Disappointing Sunday for Ferrari: he starts badly with Leclerc who is immediately overtaken by two cars at the first corner and turns fourth, while Sainz immediately puts an end to his race when he is pushed onto the gravel by Ricciardo on the first lap.
It is also the day of the first mistake of a hitherto perfect Charles Leclerc. The leader of the world rankings, when he is third and chases Perez a few tenths of a distance, ends up off the track with ten laps to go. He is forced to go to the pits to replace the damaged wing, he returns ninth and manages to recover up to sixth position.
On the third step of the podium behind the Red Bulls is Norris 'McLaren, then Russel in Mercedes, Bottas' Alfa Romeo and precisely Leclerc. Tsunoda, Vettel, Magnusson and Stroll close the top ten. Only thirteenth a Hamilton increasingly in crisis.
