IMOLA, Italy (AP) — Max Verstappen gave his Formula 1 title defense a big boost with victory at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday after a daring overtake on standings leader Oscar Piastri at the start.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, starting on the front row behind pole-sitter Oscar Piastri of McLaren, got the better of it. Verstappen skilfully and beautifully navigated around the outside of Piastri to overtake him for a lead which he maintained until the chequered flag at Imola.
