Sebastian Vettel took to the Imola track after Formula 1's qualifying session to pay tribute to Ayrton Senna in one of his old cars.

Oscar Piastri believes McLaren have a genuine chance to fight Max Verstappen for victory in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen said he was pleased to take pole position at Imola - and equal a record held by Ayrton Senna - after a "really difficult" start to the weekend.

Max Verstappen matched Ayrton Senna's all-time record of eight consecutive pole positions by beating both McLaren drivers in Imola.
