Worth Watching Score

7.2

Imola 2025 was a controlled win for Max Verstappen, with McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri filling the podium after a steady chase that rarely put the lead under real threat. A lone safety car and two DNFs nudged strategy windows, but the front stayed mostly settled. The real entertainment was in the pack, with 73 overtakes fueling elbows-out battles and momentum swings. Not an all-time thriller (3.2/10), but a solid highlights watch—especially for the McLaren double podium and the busy midfield.
