Oscar Piastri Pips Max Verstappen For Pole In Drama-Filled Emilia-Romagna GP Qualifying
McLaren's Oscar Piastri delivered a stunning lap in the dying moments of Qualifying to clinch pole position for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix 2025 on Saturday. The Australian upstaged Red Bull's reigning World Champion Max Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell in a chaotic and incident-packed session. Verstappen looked set to continue his dominant run after leading the initial Q3 laps, but Piastri produced a blistering 1m 14.670s on his final run, edging out the Dutchman by just three hundredths of a second.
