Max Verstappen made up for his disappointing qualifying performance on Saturday at the start of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. He got off to a good start and put his car next to Lewis Hamilton's as early as turn 1.

Verstappen almost had to go over the grass to park his car next to Hamilton's before the first turn. The World Champion had no intention of letting the Dutchman pass him and left his car where it was. Verstappen took the lead whilst the Brit picked up damage!
