Max Verstappen pulls off an amazing overtake on Charles Leclerc to earn himself the win in the Sprint Race at the Emilia Romagna GP
Verstappen produced a stunning late pass on Leclerc to take victory in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Sprint and ensure a first-place start for Sunday’s race.
Verstappen, who had started ahead of Leclerc after taking pole in a wet qualifying session on Friday, lost his lead at the start as a poor getaway enabled the Ferrari to beat him to the first corner.
To the delight of the partisan Italian crowd, Leclerc looked to be cruising to victory, but his tyres started to wear in the closing stages of the 21-lap race and Verstappen took advantage to strike at the start of the penultimate lap
