In Bahrain it was Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez who had to replace engine components due to a lack of reliability and on the first day in Imola it is the turn of Yuki Tsunoda and Max Verstappen. Where the young Japanese had problems in FP1, Max Verstappen parked his RB16B during the afternoon session.
"Something broke", was what Verstappen had to say over the on-board radio. In the second sector, the 23-year-old Limburger set a purple time, but in the third sector things went wrong.

Replays show the Dutchman losing drive possibly by the looks of things, as he confirms on the radio "something snapped on the rear." The VSC is called as the marshals carefully wheel his car out of the way.#F1 #ImolaGP pic.twitter.com/pNft7VKMwi
