McLaren F1 Team were competitive at Imola, but Norris still had to deliver in tricky wet-dry conditions. Starting seventh, the young Brit made the most of a red flag for a huge accident between Bottas and Russell. He went onto the fast-warming but less-durable soft tyres for the restart where he leapt ahead of Leclerc and into second. Only a late-race pass from a charging Hamilton denied him second as he hung on with old tyres to take a briliant third.
