McLaren's Oscar Piastri triumphed at the Miami Grand Prix, continuing a remarkable 2025 season with his fourth win, completing a one-two finish for the team alongside Lando Norris, who finished second. Piastri's victory came after a strategic move on lap 14, capitalizing on Max Verstappen's mistake as he ran wide, allowing the Australian to seize control of the race. Piastri finished 4.6 seconds ahead of Norris, who fought back from an early position drop. This race further establishes McLaren's growing dominance in the Formula One season, according to BBC, Al Jazeera, and India Times.
Piastri expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, noting, “Two years ago here, we were the slowest team, I think we got lapped twice. Today, we won the race by 35 seconds.” Norris, while pleased with the overall result, acknowledged that he lost valuable time during the race due to a small error when attempting to pass Verstappen, according to SCMP, BBC, and India Times.
Max Verstappen, starting on pole for the race, faced issues with his braking system throughout the event, culminating in a fourth-place finish. He expressed his frustration over the radio, stating, “Brakes, man, honestly, useless.” Meanwhile, George Russell secured third, benefitting from a strategic VSC moment, reported Al Jazeera, BBC, and India Times.
Ferrari faced ongoing challenges during the race, with Charles Leclerc finishing seventh and Lewis Hamilton eighth. Hamilton was vocal about his frustrations regarding team tactics, especially when instructed to allow Leclerc to pass him—a situation that led to team communication troubles. Hamilton commented, “I lost a lot of time behind Charles. I was just asking for a clear decision to avoid wasting time,” indicating tension within the team, according to SCMP, BBC, and Al Jazeera.
