The first time Oscar Piastri arrived at the Miami Grand Prix as a Formula 1 driver he was in the slowest car in the field and only narrowly avoided finishing last. Fast-forward two years and Piastri and McLaren Racing have come full circle.

Oscar Piastri won his third race in a row on Sunday, taking the Miami Grand Prix over McLaren teammate Lando Norris and the gap to Mercedes’ George Russell in third was more than 35 seconds. Piastri is first McLaren driver to win three on the trot since Mika Häkkinen in 1997 and now leads the world drivers’ championship by 17 points over Norris.

McLaren’s championship leader produced a brilliant victory, in Formula One’s first of three visits to the United States in 2025
