Follow all the reaction from Imola as Red Bull celebrate a one-two on after a nightmare race for Ferrari.

Today, you never know with the weather how competitive you are going to be but as a team we did everything well. “I had a little bit of an exchange with him and said ‘sorry for the car today. But there are always tough moments in the life of a sportsman and it is my turn to go through them.” The team deserve it, from where we were in race one to a podium, it’s amazing. We just need to fix the car. Charles Leclerc rubs his head in frustration as he watches the podium finishers be interviewed. We got squeeze by the Alpine and then there is just no overtaking when you are in a DRS train. Really happy with this P4 but if we want to maintain this place in the championship we need to find more pace.” We are not good enough for the world champion. Lando Norris completed the podium and George Russell finished fourth with a commendable drive in the struggling Mercedes. We did not have the pace. “There are stats that sound nice on paper but are pretty meaningless,” says George Russell when told he is the only driver to finish in the top five.

Tsunoda, Vettel, Magnussen and Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) rounded out the top 10. Verstappen held a 10s lead at half distance as Perez escaped a grassy excursion at Variante Alta on Lap 29.

Max Verstappen won a dramatic wet-dry Emilia Romagna Grand Prix over team mate Sergio Perez as Ferrari couldn't deliver on home turf – Charles Leclerc ...

In the lead, you have to always dictate the pace, and it’s always a bit more difficult initially but everything was well managed." After his Lap 1 tangle with Sainz, Ricciardo had been the first driver to pit for slicks. Seventh-place Yuki Tsunoda overtook Magnussen with DRS on Lap 48 and took another off Vettel on Lap 54 – useful points for AlphaTauri just a few miles away from their Faenza factory despite the Japanese driver struggling for traction mid-race. Lap 50 saw Leclerc come in for soft tyres, triggering Perez then Verstappen to pit for the same compounds on the following laps. On another set of soft tyres, he recovered to P6 with late passes on Vettel and Tsunoda. The lights went out under grey skies, the whole field on intermediate tyres – Zhou Guanyu starting from the pit lane – in chase of Verstappen, who led away with Perez moving to second. The Silver Arrow finally got past at Variante Alta with a stunning move on Lap 13. The Dutchman was three seconds ahead of team mate Perez by that point, Leclerc another three seconds back. The Monegasque emerged just ahead of the Mexican, but Perez skated past for P2 with warmer tyres and then kept the Ferrari at bay. Rain may have washed away the glorious weather that graced the thousands of fans at Imola in the morning, but it did little to dampen their spirits – tifosi painting the grandstands red, smatterings of blue and white among them for AlphaTauri’s home race. The Dutchman topped Saturday’s Sprint and led off the line on Sunday, team mate Perez joining him at the front – while Leclerc momentarily dropped to fourth. Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll rounded out the top 10, a double-points haul for the team that entered Imola on zero.

Red Bull managed to have its best weekend of the 2022 F1 season on Ferrari's home soil at the Imola Grand Prix.

This was certainly a weekend to forget for Alpine as Fernando Alonso was the second driver to not finish the race today, while Esteban Ocon came fourteenth. This result contributed significant points to McLaren, who now stands fourth in the F1 constructors' standings with a total of 46 points. Max Verstappen scored a combined 34 points in this weekend's sprint race and main race earlier this Sunday, while Sergio Perez made his contribution by coming in second.
