Piastri Leads McLaren One-Two in Imola Practice

On May 16, 2025, Oscar Piastri led a McLaren one-two finish in both practice sessions at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, Italy.
McLaren’s dominance came as Piastri, championship leader after winning four of the last five races, and teammate Lando Norris extended their advantage after six events.
The sessions featured a red flag in the first due to Gabriel Bortoleto's crash and another caused by Isack Hadjar's late off in the second session, limiting some running.
Piastri topped practice two with a best lap of 1:15.293, narrowly edging Norris by 0.025 seconds, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton struggled with brake issues and were sixth and eleventh respectively.
McLaren’s strong performance at Imola suggests they may maintain their early 2025 advantage, while Imola itself faces possible removal from the calendar next year.
