Lando Norris began himself in an attempt to demand his first position since the opening round of the 2025 season on Saturday in the Grand Emilia Romania race by overcoming Oscar Bayastiri and Max Versaben to the fastest time in the final practice.
After shading by his team-mate on the PiaSSTRI championship in the practices sessions on Friday in IMola, Norris diverted the tables in the last session before the important qualifying hour at 3 pm-Live on Sky SPORTS F1.
Norus was fastest on the soft tires of 1: 14.897, just one of the seconds faster than the PiaSSTRI, although the best latter’s effort came in his second bosom on the softest of the new Pireli complex when the performance of the frame was not strong.
The Red Bull was 0.181S in third place although he set his best time on the slower medium compound after his failure to improve the loaded off.
The Dutch overcame McLaren to the Pole’s position in the last grand prize race, and three from the last four, and Red Paul again appears to have improved the dealing with RB21 after a difficult start in the first practice.
Versappen was not the only driver whose fastest time per hour was on the theory, with the new C6 frame of Pirelli – the fastest complex in the Italian manufacturer that for the first time in IMola this week – which proves difficulty in maintaining the entire correct operating window.
The path conditions are slightly cooler in IMola more magical on Saturday, but it seems that McLarens has a feature again when the responsibility is to maintain the tires.
Nevertheless, Kimi Antonelle in Italy achieved a late improvement on the sofa into a fourth place for Mercedes, although this was still half a second behind Norris’s time with McLaren clearly to win after a clean sweeping of two practice.

Charles Licertrici again was the main Ferrari driver in fifth place with Luis Hamilton, who struggled with braking on Friday, after three tenths in the tenth place after a session that included a mistake in the second Rivaza when he went to gravel.
Williams’s wonderful shape continued with Carlos Sciences in sixth place and Alex Alex ninth, while Izak Haydagar “Racing Bulls” wore her crash on Friday to occupy the seventh place before the second Mercedes of George Russell.
“A lot of digestion after that session,” he said Sky SPORTS F1’s Anthony Davidson.
“What frame you want to be when it comes to qualifying?
“The only thing that remained consistent is that McClans come out in the foreground. Not a large margin and Verstapen in third place did his best time on the average frame.
“Can Red Bull get enough performance of the car on the sofa, which seemed missing after that?
“We can look at another effort similar to Suzuka from Max Versaben.”
