Max Verstappen came out on top in a thrilling battle with Charles Leclerc to win Saturday's Sprint race ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Ferrari driver Leclerc got the jump on Red Bull rival Verstappen as the lights went out and mastered an early Safety Car restart to edge clear.
However, Verstappen closed back in as Leclerc appeared to suffer with tyre graining and pounced with a couple of laps remaining to grab the win.
Sergio Perez made progress in the other Red Bull to complete the podium, ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, who also recovered well from his qualifying crash, and McLaren's Lando Norris.
Mercedes pair George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finished well outside of the points.
