The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix according to social
McSplaining, manners and champagne showers: The best social reaction from Imola
We’re still trying to catch our breath after those final few laps. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix provided action-packed to-the-flag racing at its finest.
Having smartly saved his tyres, Lando got mightily close to catching Max during an enthralling final few laps, but couldn’t quite make the move happen and had to settle for second… But as far as consolation prizes go, a third podium in a row certainly isn’t a bad one.
With Oscar bringing home fourth, we return to the McLaren Technology Centre with another healthy haul of points, ensuring we followed up Lando’s landmark first win in Miami last time out with another stellar performance.
As we scrolled back through social media on our journey home from Italy, we relived those tense final few laps in real-time, following along with you as you were on the edge of your seats. Here’s what you made of it on X…
It’s because of the pizza. And no, it doesn’t have pineapple on it… 🍕
great take, air does smell good

Although Oscar was later handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Magnussen, the pace we showed in Qualifying was very promising!
We’re Mccooking 👊

Least Oscar took it well! Still plenty to fight for from fifth.

Lando’s entered his Formula 1 Grand Prix winner era.
He seems so much more relaxed since he won a race. Much more positive!

Just 1.6s between Lando and Verstappen with five laps to go… Can Lando make it two on the bounce?

A tense, exhilarating final few laps, but Lando cannot quite catch Verstappen, despite an almighty effort! Another few laps and he’d have got him!
he was FLYING what an insane drive! few more laps and he would’ve caught him!

Love it! It was probably best you stopped for the final few, as you’d have needed your hands so you could bite your nails, like @NikkiTJones…

We expected Zak to respond, what we didn’t expect was for his vest to be flying solo…

Maybe another lap or two then it could have been the win but not to worry, shows how good the upgrades works for @McLarenF1
Great job to everyone involved!!#FansLikeNoOther #LN4 #OP81 #ImolaGP pic.twitter.com/LOiVXwCztg
