Australian driver Oscar Piastri has cemented his status as a top contender in the 2025 Formula 1 season after claiming a third consecutive Grand Prix victory at the Miami Grand Prix. The win also delivered a stunning 1–2 finish for McLaren, with teammate Lando Norris crossing the line just behind him.
Piastri began the race in fourth position on the grid but quickly showcased his exceptional racecraft. He executed a series of clean and aggressive overtakes on early front-runners, eventually taking the lead before the halfway mark. Once out in front, he maintained a consistent pace and avoided major tire degradation, a critical factor on the heat-slicked Miami street circuit.
“It feels incredible to get three wins in a row, especially here in Miami,” Piastri said after the race. “The car felt fantastic, and the team nailed the strategy. We’re pushing hard every weekend.”
This dominant performance marks McLaren’s third straight victory and second 1–2 finish of the season, signaling a major resurgence for the British outfit. With a strong chassis and clear team synergy, McLaren is now leading the constructors’ championship and poses a serious challenge to rivals Red Bull and Ferrari.
Team Principal Andrea Stella praised both drivers: “Oscar and Lando are in top form. We’ve made massive progress in development, and it’s paying off. The atmosphere in the garage is electric.”
With this win, Piastri has extended his lead in the drivers’ standings to 16 points over teammate Lando Norris. While the title race remains close, momentum appears to be firmly in Piastri’s corner as the F1 calendar heads to Europe for the next round in Imola.
Norris, who started second and briefly led the race, admitted Piastri was simply faster today. “I gave it everything, but Oscar had the edge. Still, it’s an amazing result for the team.”
F1 returns to Italy in two weeks, where McLaren will look to defend its dominance and other teams will aim to close the gap. With Piastri in top form and McLaren firing on all cylinders, the 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent years.
