First points also for Aston Martin with 8th and 10th places for Vettel and Stroll. Hamilton battled with Gasly for a long time but never found the opening and finished 13th.

T63

Verstappen's victory at Imola. Second success of the season for the Dutchman who achieved a perfect operation while Leclerc ranked 6th. He also pocketed the point for the best lap in the race and left with 34 points. Full box! Pérez and Norris complete the podium of this 4th Grand Prix of the year.

T46

Here is the ranking with less than 20 laps to go with Verstappen riding alone

T38

At the head of the race, Verstappen is comfortably installed in 1st position. The Dutchman is almost 12 seconds ahead of Pérez who keeps his distance from Leclerc who he relegates to 2″3. Behind, Norris is dropped since he is 19 seconds behind the Monegasque
