Red Bull's Max Verstappen dominated most of Formula 1's 2024 Imola Grand Prix, but had to survive a late Lando Norris onslaught to win, with Charles Leclerc third.

Higher tyre degradation than expected compared to when Red Bull struggled badly for car balance in practice on Friday appeared to ease Verstappen's path, as he was also boosted by the set-up work completed at his team's factory ahead of qualifying. Norris did mount a ferocious late-race charge as he worked his hard tyres better than Verstappen in the second of two stints, but the world champion held on to win by 0.7s.

1s further back in third. Piastri came home 6.2s back from Leclerc, while Sainz ended falling back to 8.2s off the second McLaren. Lewis Hamilton had a trip through the Acque Mineral gravel on his way to sixth, with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell stopping for a second time late on and dropping down to seventh, but with enough pace back on the mediums to secure the fastest lap bonus point.
