Max Verstappen won his second race of the season at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, beating both McLaren cars on merit as he took a fourth straight victory at Imola. Lando Norris and polesitter Oscar Piastri both finished on the podium though, as McLaren and Red Bull renewed their rivalry.

The F1 Nation team are here to discuss the Dutchman's latest win, a hard-fought one that required a vintage overtake on the first lap that many will remember as one of Verstappen's finest.

Podcast host Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by Former Red Bull Racing driver Daniil Kvyat and F1.com editor Greg Stuart to analyse all that and more.

As well as Verstappen reminding the world he is not out of the Championship battle, they delve into Lewis Hamilton's drive as the Ferrari star recovered from P12 on the grid to come home fourth in front of the adoring Tifosi.

Kimi Antonelli had a race to forget on home soil, failing to finish thanks to a throttle issue while George Russell cut a frustrated figure for Mercedes after a difficult race.

But there was more joy for Williams, who once again got both cars home in the points and for Isack Hadjar, who is still impressing in his rookie season as he picked up two more vital points for Racing Bulls.
