IMOLA, Italy : Formula One champion Max Verstappen won a sprint for pole position at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Saturday, but Ferrari's Charles Leclerc still stretched his overall lead to 40 points.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz moved up to second in the championship standings after racing from 10th place to fourth, behind Red Bull's Sergio Perez, in the 100km race over 21 laps at Imola.The first sprint of the season saw points awarded to the top eight, rather than podium places as was the case last year.

"We were a bit better on our tyres at the end of the race so I could get into DRS and we had a good fight into turn two."
