Lando Norris set the pace in the final Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Formula 1 practice session at Imola, as much of the F1 field struggled badly with the new C6 tyre
In the final Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Formula 1 practice session at Imola, Lando Norris set the pace, while many F1 drivers struggled with the new C6 tyre. The session saw the third successive McLaren 1-2 of the weekend, but it was far from straightforward, hinting at a tougher challenge ahead. The introduction of the C6 tyre, the softest in Pirelli’s range, made the session tricky for most drivers, including Norris, who still managed a sub-1m15s lap time. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen showed promise early on but couldn’t top Norris, finishing 0.181s behind. Rookie Kimi Antonelli impressed as the best of the rest behind the top three teams. Additionally, various drivers faced challenges and made errors during the session, showcasing the intense competition at the Imola circuit.
