Dutchman steers to victory in Italy on Red Bull's 400th Grand Prix for 65th of career
-
IMOLA - Four-time world champion Max Verstappen delivered a reminder of his racing prowess on May 18 when he drove his Red Bull to a commanding victory at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.
He said: "The start itself wasn't particularly great but I was still on the outside line, the normal line, so I was like 'well I'm going to try and send it around the outside' and it worked really well.
"Of course, that unleashed our pace because when we were in the lead, the car was good. I could look after my tyres."
The 27-year-old Dutchman came home 6.1 seconds clear of Lando Norris, who was second, ahead of McLaren teammate and championship leader Oscar Piastri.
Like Verstappen, Ferrari's seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton profited from two safety car interventions to finish fourth, after starting 12th on the grid, ahead of Williams' Alex Albon and Charles Leclerc, in the second Ferrari.
George Russell was seventh for Mercedes, ahead of Carlos Sainz in the second Williams, RB rookie Isack Hadjar and Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda, a notable 10th after his high-speed crash in qualifying.
