F1 Imola GP 2025 LIVE: Qualifying updates and results

Verstappen in the driving seat after the first laps!

Verstappen is 0.049 secs ahead of Oscar Piastri in second, with Lando Norris a tenth further back.

4-10: Russell, Hadjar, Stroll, Alonso, Sainz, Albon, Gasly

They will all enter the pits… and go again.

It wasn’t even that close!

Leclerc missed out by over a tenth, with Hamilton a tenth slower than his teammate!

“Sorry guys, I can’t improve for some reason.”

It was the Aston Martins of Alonso and Stroll which eliminated the Ferrari pair at the end!

Disappointment for the home fans!

Leclerc: “My god, my god, my god.”

Oh it’s disaster for Ferrari!

Hamilton and Leclerc both out in 11th and 12th!

Kimi Antonelli also out in P13!

Bottom-five and out in Q2 (11-15): Leclerc, Hamilton, Antonelli, Bortoleto, Colapinto

“I didn’t see the red flag until I crossed the line, I’m not sure why my lap wasn’t reinstated. It’s a bit strange.”

Gasly in P12 and is not happy with an Aston Martin ahead at the final corner, who perhaps made his car turbulent.

Gasly: “What’s the name of that smart guy in the Aston? I’ll remember him.”

Current bottom-five (11-15): Stroll, Gasly, Albon, Bortoleto, Colapinto

Antonelli will need to go quicker in P10… 4:00 to go in Q2.

Nothing from the FIA on Bearman’s time, but no news is presumably good news for Bortoleto!

The Brazilian headed straight out to the end of the pit-lane and as the green light appears, Bortoleto is straight out on track!

FIA: “Q2 will start at 16:58.”

Still nothing from the FIA on Bearman though…
