It was the seventh round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship. Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing took pole position and won the race over Lando Norris of McLaren and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.

The Grand Prix was the seventh round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the fourth running of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Result Description
Before the race, one change to the grid was made: Fernando Alonso, in his lowest start for Aston Martin, started from the pit lane due to suspension changes that were made during parc fermé. He was originally due to start 19th of 20. Sargeant, who had not set a lap time within 107% rule time, was allowed to race at the stewards' discretion. The race began with Red Bull Racing polesitter Max Verstappen having a good start ahead of second-placed McLaren driver Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton moved his Mercedes into seventh place while Sergio Pérez, who suffered his first Q2 elimination of the season the day before, overtook Daniel Ricciardo in the RB for tenth place. Verstappen proceeded to build a three-second gap to Norris by lap-ten, who was pressured from behind by the Ferrari drivers of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.
On lap ten, Alexander Albon encountered an issue with his hard tyres. Williams fitted his tyre incorrectly during their pit stop, resulting in it being loose. He had to slow down on track to avoid the tyre becoming loose, and was given a ten-second penalty from the stewards for an unsafe release. Albon, who was now a lap down at this point, took the medium compounds for his next stop as other drivers came in. The RB of Yuki Tsunoda had been stuck behind Haas driver Nico Hülkenberg but would eventually undercut him after a quick stop. Meanwhile, with Piastri continuing to struggle against Sainz, Pérez ran wide into the gravel trap, making him lose time. Numerous drivers, including race leader Verstappen, took their stop by lap 21. Verstappen briefly conceded the lead to Sainz before he overtook the latter on lap 27. Pérez soon came under pressure from Hamilton, who was able to dispatch the Red Bull driver. Pérez had been utilising the hard tyres from his first stint, making a change on lap 38 to mediums and attacking Ricciardo, Hülkenberg and Tsunoda shortly after he exited the pit lane. Meanwhile, Magnussen was scrapping with the Alpine drivers and the Sauber of Zhou Guanyu while Norris and Leclerc were close to each other in a battle for second place.
With Norris having pulled away from Leclerc after the latter made a mistake, Verstappen's lead soon came under threat with Norris beginning to close the gap to the race leader. Meanwhile, Williams decided to retire Albon. By the time the chequered flag was flown, Norris finished in second place while Verstappen won the race by 0.725 seconds ahead of Norris, who closed the gap from six seconds in the final 15 laps. Leclerc completed the podium in third, and behind him was Piastri in fourth and Sainz in fifth. Meanwhile, Lance Stroll scored two points, with his team mate Alonso the last of the finishing cars in nineteenth. This was Alonso's lowest finish in his Formula One career. The seventh-placed George Russell took the fastest lap for Mercedes.
