Team by team review of Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Team by team review of Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, seventh round of the 24-race Formula One world championship (listed in current order):

RED BULL (Max Verstappen 1, Sergio Perez 8)

Verstappen led from his record-equalling eighth successive pole position and took his fifth win in seven races this season, 59th of his career and third at Imola after 2021 and 2022. He now has a 48 point lead over Leclerc.

Perez started 11th on hard tyres and lost second place in the championship.

FERRARI (Charles Leclerc 3, Carlos Sainz 5)

Leclerc finished where he started. His pace picked up when he switched to the hard tyres on lap 25 and he was able to put some pressure on Norris before the Briton pulled away. Sainz pitted on lap 27 and was unable to stay ahead of Piastri.

MCLAREN (Lando Norris 2, Oscar Piastri 4)

Norris started on the front row, after Piastri was handed a three place grid drop for impeding Kevin Magnussen in qualifying, and took his fourth podium in seven races. He came close to repeating his Miami breakthrough win, finishing 0.7 behind Verstappen after picking up pace in a much stronger second stint on hard tyres. Piastri gained a place from Sainz in his pitstop. McLaren were the highest scoring team from the weekend.

MERCEDES (Lewis Hamilton 6, George Russell 7)

Both started on medium tyres, Russell in sixth and Hamilton eighth. Hamilton passed Tsunoda at the start, with Russell pitting on lap 21 and Hamilton on 27 for hards. Russell then made a precautionary second stop for used mediums on lap 52, losing a place to
