Max Verstappen overhauled fast-starting Charles Leclerc to claim top spot on the grid for Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Verstappen dropped behind Leclerc off the line during the 21-lap Sprint but remained within sight of the Ferrari driver throughout the short race.

Verstappen used DRS on the penultimate lap to go around the outside of Leclerc into Turn 1 in order to secure the maximum eight points and first place for Sunday’s race.

Leclerc collected second place to extend his overall title lead to 40 points over new nearest opponent Carlos Sainz.

Valtteri Bottas recovered from a subdued first lap to take seventh while Kevin Magnussen’s Medium tyre gamble backfired as he slipped from fourth to eighth.
