Formula One champion Max Verstappen won a sprint for pole position at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Saturday as Ferrari's Charles Leclerc stretched his overall lead to 40 points.
Verstappen had already secured the official pole for the record books in a wet Friday qualifying for the sprint but Saturday's result made that concrete as well as bagging him eight points.
McLaren's Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo finished fifth and sixth with Valtteri Bottas seventh for Alfa Romeo and Kevin Magnussen banking the final point for Haas after starting in fourth place. "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."
Champions Mercedes had an afternoon to forget, with George Russell finishing 11th and losing second place in the standings while seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton was 14th -- one place lower than where he started."But we're fighting to understand the car and improve and progress through the year. That's all we can hope for right now."
