Piastri heads both practice sessions at Formula 1's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, as Isack Hadjar's off causes a red flag

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were beaten by a shock F1 star during FP1 at the Imola Grand Prix, as a late crash ended the session prematurely. The two McLaren s were once again on top in Emilia Romagna, whilst Carlos Sainz set the third fastest time at Imola ahead of both Hamilton and Verstappen.

McLaren has updates of its own, with new aerodynamic components around the rear corner of the car to offer "improved flow conditioning and overall increase in rear aerodynamic load," per its pre-event technical notes.
