Ferrari may not have made the front row for their first home race of 2024, but they do have both cars on the second for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, thanks in part to a grid penalty for McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen took an eighth consecutive pole for Red Bull, after a sublime lap pipped Piastri, before the Australian was demoted three grid places for impeding earlier in the session.

That means team mate - and winner of the last round - Lando Norris will line up alongside Verstappen for the Imola start, with the scarlet cars of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz immediately behind.

Other qualifying stand-outs in the top 10 include RB's Yuki Tsunoda in P7 and the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg in tenth. By contrast, Fernando Alonso had a miserable Saturday and after late set-up changes on his Aston Martin's suspension will now start from the pit lane.
