Emilia Romagna GP qualifying results: Piastri takes pole as Ferrari nightmare continues
Oscar Piastri pipped Max Verstappen to pole position at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, despite a challenging run through slow-moving traffic in the final sector. George Russell will start third after moving past Lando Norris on his final Q3 run. Q1 was red-flagged with 12 minutes left on the clock and only 10 lap times on the board following a scary crash for Yuki Tsunoda. The Red Bull star was sent into a flip after losing control of his car over a kerb and hurtling through the gravel trap.
There was another red flag before the end of Q1, too. Franco Colapinto dropped a rear wheel on the grass on the exit of Turn Three, sending his Alpine car spinning across the gravel and into the wall head-on. The 20-year-old was audibly upset as he apologised for the shunt on the radio.
