Verstappen ended Piastri’s three-race wi🍸nning run, and took his fourth cons🌳ecutive victory at Imola.

Notably,🍌 Verstappen's brilliant manouevre was a response to Piastri twice getting the better🥂 of him, most recently in Miami.

“It was a good move by Max, as well.

“D🧸isappointing, ob💎viously. But we made a few wrong calls after that anyway.”

Verst🌸appen said: "The start itself wasn't particularly great - but I was still on the outside line. The normal line.

“So I was like I'm going toಌ try and send it around the outside' and it worked really w💦ell!

"Of course, that unleashedꦏ our pace because when we were in the lead. The car was good. I could look after my tyres.”

Piastri was later overtaken by McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, who finished second.

"I tried my best to hang on but just didn't have the grip,” Pia♊stri said a🐻bout Norris’ overtake.

“I 🐻tried my best but it was inevitable he would get pa🌠st but I wasn't going to give up without a fight."

Norris said: "We had a good little battle at the end between Osc🔴ar and myself which was tenꩲse, but always good fun.

"A good race - for us as a team, second and third is great. Of course you would love to 🥀be up there fighting against ꦆMax. But they were too good for us today."

Verstappen nav🧸iga⭕ted his way through two Safety Car periods at Imola to win the grand prix.

Piastri still tops the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings, with Norris 13 points behind.

Verstappen is third, 22 points shy of the leader.

Next weekend's F1 Monaco Grand Prix is an 🐓immediate opportunity to attack P𝔍iastri's lead again for the resurgent Verstappen.
