Max Verstappen won at Imola to keep in touch with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the F1 title race and Red Bull boss Christian Horner questioned McLaren's approach to the race

And so, Piastri heads to the Monaco Grand Prix with a clear directive: if he gets pole, he must cover off Verstappen’s lunges at all costs. Sunday’s race is an opportunity to resume the status quo and bounce back, with pole position - strategy blunders aside - likely to determine the finishing order.

Oscar Piastri has vowed to learn from Max Verstappen ’s audacious around-the-outside overtake at the start of the F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Verstappen pulled off a spectacular move under braking to snatch the lead from McLaren’s Piastri at the first corner, before going on to claim a dominant victory at Imola.
