After struggling with the updated version of the RB20 in Imola, finishing fifth, seventh, and sixth in the three practice sessions, Verstappen managed to find a good pace in the final run of Saturday's qualifying, securing a surprising pole position with 0.074 seconds ahead of Oscar Piastri - who was then dropped to P5 for impeding Kevin Magnussen.
