THE ROAD TO POLE
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was fastest in a disrupted qualifying at Imola, held on Friday afternoon as this is a Sprint weekend, with his pole time set on the Cinturato Green intermediate tyre. Both the new 18-inch Cinturato Green and Cinturato Blue wet weather tyres were used today for the first time during a race weekend.
Qualifying – which featured at least one red flag in each of the sessions – was preceded by just one hour-long free practice earlier this afternoon, which was topped by Ferrari’s championship leader Charles Leclerc, at the Scuderia’s home race.
