of his Formula One career in Miami, the Red Bull driver claimed his revenge, holding off Norris to claim his fifth victory of the 2024 season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Despite a difficult start to the weekend in practice, Verstappen rallied to the front of the grid in qualifying on Saturday and then put together a daring drive in Sunday’s race to land back on the top of the podium. Norris settled for second while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished in third for a second consecutive race.
The race ended up going down to the final lap, but Verstappen ensured that there wouldn’t be a repeat of the disappointment two weeks ago, eking out the win by less than a second.The improvements made by Red Bull’s top challengers are legitimate , but given where Verstappen was at the start of the weekend, Sunday’s win was special for a different reason: it was gritty.
As for Ferrari , the weekend felt incomplete.
