Max Verstappen produced a faultless drive to claim victory in a chaotic Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as Lando Norris beat McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to second.
Verstappen, starting from second, passed pole-sitter Piastri with an audacious move around the outside of the first chicane on the opening lap, before expertly controlling the race from out front.
The Red Bull driver was cruising to victory before a late Safety Car closed up the pack, but he eased clear once more in a 10-lap sprint to the finish that saw Norris take advantage of having fresher tyres to pass Piastri for second.
