Oscar Piastri Miami: *********** F1 superstar continues rise with epic win as McLaren go one-two

Australia’s newest sporting superstar, Oscar Piastri, has left all in his wake and claimed an emphatic win in the Miami Grand Prix on Monday.

After starting in fourth position on the grid, the McLaren driver quickly charged into third position on lap one and soon after gobbled up the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli, teammate Lando Norris and pole-sitter and four-time world champion Max Verstappen from Red Bull.

Once the young charger had clear air in front, he surged away and continued to put space on the field with every lap.

“I’m very happy after all the hard work we have done to get here,” Piastri said after exiting his McLaren’s cockpit to jubilant scenes.

“It’s incredible but there is still more hard work to go.

“Two years ago we were genuinely the slowest team on the track and now we are the fastest, it’s incredible,” he added.

Melbourne-born Piastri now sits atop the 2025 Formula One championship standings with four race wins after previously going back-to-back in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, and has become a clear favourite to claim the world title.

Team McLaren are also in the box seat to take the coveted constructor’s title this season after Lando Norris speared Zak Brown’s team into a one-two finish and a sea of orange in the Miami winners pit lane area.

Mercedes lead driver George Russell claimed a podium spot in third place, nearly 40 seconds behind Norris, while Verstappen finished fourth

The other *********** in the field, Alpine’s Jack Doohan, suffered another disastrous resut after a puncture soon after the start took him out of the race.

More to come.
