Formula 1: Verstappen Edges Out Norris, Piastri To Snatch Pole At Italian GP
Italian Grand Prix: Max Verstappen delivered a champion’s performance at Monza as he snatched pole position for the Italian Grand Prix with a sensational late lap, edging out McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in one of the tightest Qualifying sessions of the season.
After a disappointing outing at the Temple of Speed last year, Red Bull arrived with renewed competitiveness, and Verstappen underlined it by setting a 1m 18.792s in the dying moments of Q3 to secure P1 by just 0.077s from Norris. Piastri, only 0.190s adrift, completed an all-too-familiar McLaren challenge to Verstappen’s dominance.
Ferrari fans had hoped for a front-row start at their home race, but Charles Leclerc could do no better than fourth, while Lewis Hamilton lined up fifth. However, Hamilton will drop five places due to a pre-event grid penalty, leaving Ferrari in a better position to challenge on Sunday.
