Piastri's Miami Magic: McLaren's 2025 F1 Domination
Okay, so Oscar Piastri just keeps on winning! He snagged his third straight Formula 1 Grand Prix victory in Miami. Seriously, the guy's on fire. He completely dominated the race, leaving even the amazing Max Verstappen in his dust. It was impressive stuff, showing some seriously skilled racecraft.
McLaren's Miami Miracle
But it wasn’t just Piastri; the whole McLaren team was on a roll. They achieved a one-two finish with Lando Norris coming in second. It was a McLaren masterclass! This win marks the first time a McLaren driver has won three races in a row in 28 years—the last time was Mika Häkkinen. Can you believe it? That’s a huge deal! Piastri’s now 16 points ahead of Norris in the championship. He’s looking like a strong contender for the title. And their speed, especially in that Miami heat, was just insane. Even Martin Brundle was blown away – and he’s seen it all!
Verstappen's Woes and Ferrari's Frustrations
Max Verstappen, starting from pole position, lost the lead to Piastri around lap 14. Post-race, he was pretty frustrated, complaining about his car's performance, especially the brakes. Things didn’t go much better for Ferrari either. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finished a disappointing 7th and 8th. You could feel the tension—it seemed like a mix of internal team issues and some seriously questionable strategy calls. Hamilton's sarcastic comments on the team radio pretty much summed up their day. Ouch.
Other Race Day Highlights (and Lowlights!)
George Russell managed a podium finish in third place for Mercedes, despite a post-race protest from Red Bull about a yellow flag incident getting dismissed. It was a bit controversial, that one. There was also a first-lap collision between Jack Doohan and Liam Lawson that ended Doohan's race early. Poor guy! And Alex Albon gave Williams their best result of the season, finishing fifth. Not bad!
