Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2025 – Verstappen Sets the Pace
The Imola Grand Prix delivered another exciting chapter in the 2025 Formula 1 season. After a tightly contested qualifying session, the true hierarchy became clear during the race — McLaren emerged as the team to beat, with a clear pace advantage and incredibly consistent lap times but not as good as Verstappen.
McLaren – The Benchmark for Consistency and Speed
According to the lap time distribution analysis, McLaren had the shortest median lap time, showcasing impressive consistency over race stints. Both drivers delivered fast and steady laps, which allowed the team to pull ahead of key rivals like Ferrari and Mercedes. Their pace wasn’t just fast — it was sustained, even across different tyre compounds.
Ferrari & Red Bull – Quick But Flawed
Ferrari showed strong one-lap speed and solid race pace, but the spread in their lap times suggests they struggled with tyre degradation or balance. Red Bull, meanwhile, showed flashes of their trademark pace. Their race pace hovered close to Ferrari’s, but with more slow laps interrupting the rhythm — a sign of increasing pressure from the rest of the field.
Driver Highlights – Piastri vs Verstappen
A key on-track battle unfolded between Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen. The telemetry comparison showed Piastri gaining time in low-speed corners and exits thanks to better traction and throttle modulation. Verstappen, in contrast, had more stability under braking and cleaner corner entries — but over a stint, Piastri’s balance delivered more consistent lap times.
