The F1 European season begins at Imola—here’s when and how to watch the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix live in the U.S.

Max Verstappen returned to the top step with a dominant display to win the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The Dutchman pulled off one of the moves of his career in lap 1 to get past pole-sitter Oscar Piastri and never looked like losing it from there.

While Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris lead the way in the championship, it is Max Verstappen who has the best qualifying record so far in 2025, claiming three pole positions from the opening six races, despite sitting 32 points behind Piastri in the drivers' championship.
