Red Bull Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen reached another milestone during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix today. After securing the win at the iconic Imola circuit, the four-time champion secured the same number of podium finishes as seven-time champion and F1 icon Michael Schumacher had at Ferrari.
McLaren opted not to order Piastri to allow Lando Norris past in a bid to challenge Verstappen but the British driver ultimately made a brave move on his team-mate with five laps to go to finish second. Piastri’s lead to Norris was cut to 13 points, with Verstappen now 22 points behind the Australian.
