Report: Oscar Piastri dominates Miami GP as Lewis Hamilton fumes over Ferrari race management

Oscar Piastri crossed the checkered flag in South Florida on Sunday 4.6 seconds ahead of McLaren teammate Lando Norris. The papaya orange team dominated 37.6 seconds ahead of third-place finisher George Russell in a virtual safety car-riddled, overtaking display at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.

Piastri, who qualified in fourth on Saturday, gained an advantage when a first-corner tussle between pole-sitter Max Verstappen and Norris had the latter falling down the leaderboard into sixth place. The McLaren driver, who secured his maiden win in Miami last year, unsuccessfully attempted to appeal to the stewards, claiming the four-time world champion pushed him off as Verstappen swept across the start.

Piastri speaks on rivalry with Norris

“Obviously I know how strong Lando is as a driver, being his teammate now for a couple of years,” Piastri said. And it’s never easy.

“But you know also racing Max is never easy, as we saw. So both [are] very different challenges. I think in the long term this season, it’s clearly going to be a pretty strong fight between Lando and I, but both are challenging.”

On snatching first position from Verstappen, he said: “It was a matter of when I got past, not if.” Brimming with confidence.
