Lando Norris wins Monaco GP ahead of Leclerc and Piastri: Formula 1
Monaco, 25 May 2025: Lando Norris kept Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri at bay and negotiated the strategic conundrum of two mandatory pit stops to convert pole position into a first Monaco Grand Prix win.
The plan to bring tactical variation and therefore more excitement to the narrow streets of Monaco by requiring all driver to use three sets of tyres during the race yielded the expected variety in terms of when teams chose to pit their drivers, but ultimately a cagey approach led to little change in the top 10 order with only Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton picking up a place when he jumped Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar in the early stops and with the drivers behind gaining a spot when Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso retired midway through.
When the lights went out at the start, pole sitter Norris recovered from a Turn 1 lock-up to take the lead ahead of Leclerc, while behind them Piastri shrugged off a challenge from Max Verstappen to hold third place as they made their way up the hill to Casino Square.
At the exit of Portier, Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto was squeezed by Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and the Brazilian nosed into the barriers. Bortoleto was able to continue but the incident resulted in a Virtual Safety Car being deployed.
Both Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly took the opportunity to pit under the VSC and the pair emerged in 17th and 18th places respectively. When the VSC ended, the field resumed in order, with Norris holding his lead ahead of Leclerc and Piastri and with Max in P5 ahead Racing Bull driver Isack Hadjar.
On lap eight, Gasly apparently suffered brake failure on the exit of the tunnel, and he slammed into the right rear wheel of Tsunoda’s Red Bull. The Japanese driver was able to continue, but Gasly, with broken front suspension, went skidding through the Nouvelle Chicane. The Frenchman was able to limp back to the pit lane and racing continued.
Hadjar was the first of the front runners to pit, on lap 15. That sparked a reaction from the drivers around him and on lap 19 Norris dived in for Hard tyres, ceding the lead to Leclerc. Attempting to undercut the Monegasque driver, McLaren then pitted Piastri, but Ferrari reacted, and Leclerc was able to pit on lap 22 and rejoin ahead of Piastri.
Delaying his pit stop, Verstappen moved into the lead, but the Red Bull driver soon reported that his starting tyres were beginning to suffer and on lap 29 he made his first stop. The Dutchman slotted back into fourth place, four seconds behind Piastri.
On lap 37, Alonso stopped at Rascasse. The Spanish driver’s Aston Martin was quickly recovered through a gap in the barriers, and any race neutralisation was avoided.
At half distance, Norris began to stretch away from the chasing pack and by lap 42 the McLaren driver had built a six-second gap back to Leclerc who was nine seconds ahead of Piastri who was struggling for grip.
McLaren brought Piastri in for his second stop on lap 49. Leclerc also pitted on the same lap and on lap 50 Norris made his final stop of the race. That pushed Verstappen back into the lead and the champion elected to stay on track, hoping for a late incident and potentially a red flag.
The Red Bull driver’s gamble meant he gradually backed Norris towards Leclerc and the Ferrari driver senses an opportunity. There was no way past, however. Norris kept his cool in the closing laps and when Verstappen finally made his second stop on the penultimate lap, the McLaren was freed to pull away, set the fastest lap of race and take a sixth career win ahead of the Ferrari man and Piastri.
Verstappen was left with his starting place of fourth, while fifth place went to the second Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton, who jumped Hadjar when the Racing Bulls driver made his two stops in quick succession early in the race. Behind the French driver, Haas’ Esteban Ocon took seventh place ahead of the second Racing Bull of Liam Lawson and the final two points positions went to the Williams pair of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.

Lando Norris takes pole ahead of Leclerc at Monaco: Formula 1
Monaco, 24 May 2025: Lando Norris set a new track record lap to beat local hero Charles Leclerc by a tenth of a second at the end of a thrilling qualifying session for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. Third place went to championships leader Oscar Piastri.
At the start of Q1 it was Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen who set the early pace, with the Dutchman’s opening flyer of 1:11.920 taking him almost two tenths ahead of practice pacesetter Leclerc. However, both McLaren driver soon eclipsed that time, with Norris going four tenths quicker, while Piastri stopped the clock at 1:11.385 to take P1.
In the final runs it was Leclerc who took top spot, with the Monegasque driver posting a lap of 1:11.229 to finish just under eight hundredths of a second ahead of Norris with Piastri third ahead of Verstappen and Mercedes’ George Russell.
At the other end of the order, Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto was the first to be eliminated in P16, ahead of Haas’ Oliver Bearman, who will start last due to a 10-place grid penalty for ignoring red flags in FP2. Pierre Gasly qualified in P18 ahead of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and the second Alpine of Franco Colapinto, though the Argentinian will move ahead of Stroll due to a one-place penalty for the Canadian.
The red flags came out at the end of the session when Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, who squeezed through in 15th, hit the barriers in the Nouvelle Chicane.
Norris led the way in the first runs of Q2, with the McLaren driver taking P1 on 1:10.959. Verstappen slotted into second place with 0.065s behind, while Leclerc, with Medium tyres on board, took third place two tenths further back.
However, moments later the red flags were thrown once more. Russell slowed through the hairpin and Portier before grinding to a halt in the tunnel. In the final runs, it was Norris who took control with a lap of 1:10.570,
Just 0.016s ahead of Leclerc and two tenths ahead of Williams’ Alex Albon.
Improvements in the final runs for Haas’ Esteban Ocon and Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar meant that Williams’ Carlos Sainz was bumped out of Q3 in P11, while Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda dropped out in P12 ahead of Sauber’s Nico Hülkenberg and the sidelined Mercedes cars.
In the opening runs of Q3, it was Norris who set the pace with a lap of 1:10.464, just under seven hundredths of a second ahead of Piastri and Leclerc.
McLaren opted for two final flying laps and Norris proved unbeatable. The Briton first dropped the provisional pole time to 1:10.125 and though Leclerc briefly moved ahead on 1:10.063, Norris found more time to take pole with a lap of 1:09.954, a new track record. Behind local hero Leclerc, Piastri finished third ahead of Hamilton. Verstappen couldn’t improve on his opening lap and at the end of the session the Dutchman took fifth place ahead of Hadjar, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, Ocon, the second Racing Bulls car of Liam Lawson and Albon.

Max Verstappen takes fourth win at Imola; Oscar Piastri finishes P3 behind Norris to keep title lead
Imola (Italy), 18 May 2025: Max Verstappen took a superb fourth straight win in Imola, overtaking Oscar Piastri with a brilliant move at the start to take the lead and then controlling the race from the front despite a Safety Car narrowing the gap at the front. Second place went to Lando Norris who used fresher tyres to pass McLaren team-mate Piastri in the closing stages of the race.
When the lights went out, Piastri made the best getaway, and it looked like the Australian would comfortably hold his advantage. But as they went into Tamburello, the McLaren driver braked slightly early, Verstappen held his line on the outside and in a super move he squeezed past the McLaren to steal the lead.
Behind them, Mercedes’ George Russell held third ahead of Norris and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso. Meanwhile, at the edge of the top 10, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was pressuring Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and when the Frenchman went wide under braking, Leclerc swept through to move into the points.
At the front, Verstappen began to build a gap and by lap 10 the Red Bull driver was almost two seconds clear of Piastri. Behind them Russell was coming under heavy pressure from Norris, and on lap 11, the McLaren driver barged past in the Villeneuve chicane.
Russell then took the decision to shed his starting Mediums and moved to the Hard tyre. Leclerc also made the switch and when Williams Carlos Sainz also pitted, it seemed to push McLaren into action and on lap 14, they brough Piastri in for the undercut. However, the Australian had a slow stop and rejoined in in P12. Verstappen chose to stay out, however, and on lap 15 he had 10 seconds in hand over Norris who also held firm.
Piastri began to claw his way back through the field and lap 21 the Australian was up to P8. However, he was now 33s behind Verstappen, who was looking more and more comfortable on his starting Mediums.
Norris made his stop for Hards on lap 29, but seconds later Haas’ Esteban Ocon pulled over and halted at the side of the track just after Tosa. The VSC was deployed and that sparked a rush towards the pit lane. Verstappen took on Hards and when the order shook out, he led Norris by 20 seconds, with Williams’ Alex Albon in third place. Meanwhile, Piastri, who made a second stop under the caution, was in fourth ahead of Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar and Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli.
On lap 46, however, Antonelli suddenly slowed and like Ocon he ground to a halt just after Tosa. This time the physical Safety Car was deployed and with his lead erased, Verstappen pitted for another set of Hard tyres. Norris mirrored the move, but Piastri stayed out, rising to second place, ahead of his team-mate. Leclerc also stayed out and took fourth ahead of Albon and Russell.
The Safety Car peeled off track at the end of lap 53 and Verstappen controlled the restart well to hold his lead. Behind him the McLarens squabbled for second place, and they settled the battle with Norris, on fresher tyres, muscling his way past his team-mate to take second place, Verstappen was too far ahead and after 63 laps the Dutchman crossed the line to take his fourth straight Imola win and to Red Bull’s 400th race in F1.
With Norris and Piastri taking the remaining podium places, fourth place went to Lewis Hamilton. The Ferrari driver made the most of new tyres after the Safety Car and passed both Albon and team-mate Leclerc to grab 10 points. Albon took fifth, passing Leclerc, who had stuck with old tyres during the SC. The Monegasque driver was left with sixth place ahead of Russell, Sainz and Hadjar, while Yuki Tsunoda took 10thplace and the final point after a pit lane start.

Oscar Piastri wins Miami Grand Prix ahead of Lando Norris; extends championship lead
Miami, 4 May 2025: Oscar Piastri went from fourth on the grid at the Miami Grand prix to first at the flag to take a third win in a row and to extend his championship lead over McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, who recovered from a first-corner clash with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to second place ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell.
When the lights went out at the start, polesitter Verstappen Max got away well to take the lead, but as he went into Turn 1 the Dutchman locked up and went wide. That allowed front-row started Norris to pull alongside as they went into Turn 2. The two appeared to bang wheels as Verstappen’s car slithered around and Norris was forced to go off track. Verstappen continued at the front, but the McLaren driver dropped back to sixth behind Williams’ Alex Albon.
Further back, Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson was hit by the Alpine of Jack Doohan and with the New Zealander spun around and the Alpine limping to an eventual halt, the Virtual Safety Car was deployed.
When the track went green again Verstappen controlled the resumption well and held the lead. Second-placed Kimi Antonelli, though, was passed by Piastri, while Norris powered past Williams’ Alex Albon to claw his way back into the top five and then, on lap seven, the McLaren driver powered past Mercedes’ George Russell to put himself back in contention.
At the front, Verstappen was coming under heavy pressure from Piastri and on lap 10 the Australian got into DRS range. Piastri pushed hard through each DRS zone, but Verstappen was initially solid in defence.
At the start of lap 14, however, Verstappen’s armour was pierced. The Dutchman forced Piastri to go wide on the approach to Turn1, but in doing so the Red Bull driver outbraked himself and when locked up, Piastri was able to cut back underneath to take the lead.
The tussle between the leading pair allowed Norris to come back into the fight and after Piastri took the lead, Verstappen soon found himself under pressure from the second McLaren. Once again, the Red Bull driver defended hard and for three crucial laps he kept Norris at bay as Piastri, in clean air, carved out a big lead ahead. On lap 18, though, Norris at last got the move done and chased after his team-mate.
Behind the top three, Antonelli held on to fourth place ahead of Mercedes team-mate Russell, while the Williams pair of Albon and Carlos Sainz held sixth and seventh.
Mercedes brought Antonelli in at the end of lap 25, attempting to undercut Verstappen, but the youngster’s pit stop was slowed when he had to wait in his box to let Sainz pass by and when Red Bull responded by bringing Verstappen in at the end of the following lap the delay meant the Dutchman emerged well clear of the Italian.
But while Verstappen was able to keep one Mercedes behind, he couldn’t keep Russell behind. On lap 29, Ollie Bearman slowed and as he pulled over at Turn 8 with a power unit issue, the VSC was deployed. Both McLarens took the opportunity to make their pit stops while the race was neutralised and so did Russell. With Verstappen slowed by the VSC the Mercedes driver was able to save time in his stop and he emerged in third, ahead of the Dutchman.
At the front, Norris closed in on Piastri in the closing stages, but the Australian was comfortably managing his pace, and he took his third win in a row with 4.6s in hand over his team-mate. Behind Verstappen, fifth place went to Albon, with Antonelli sixth ahead of the Ferrari pair of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Sainz was ninth and Yuki Tsunoda managed to eke out a 5.1s gap to Hadjar that kept him in 10th at the flag after the Japanese driver had been given a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Max Verstappen beats Lando Norris to Miami pole: F1
Miami (US), 3 May 2025: Max Verstappen took his third pole of 2025 with a superb final lap of Q3 that saw him beat pre-session favourites McLaren, with Lando Norris second and championship leader Oscar Piastri only fourth behind Mercedes’ teen sensation Kimi Antonelli.
At the start of Q1 Verstappen was one of the first on track and he posted an opening flyer of 1:27.573 to take P1. That time was soon beaten by Piastri who went 0.266s quicker, with Norris’s slotting into P3.
Antonelli then lowered the benchmark to 1:27.077. Verstappen, though, was powering through a purple first sector and after setting personal best times across the rest of the lap, the champion once again jumped to the top of the order with a time of 1:26.870, 0.136 clear of Piastri with Mercedes’ George Russell in third, 0.008s off the Australian. Verstappen headed back to the pits leaving Norris to edge ahead of team-mate Piastri to take P2.
Ruled out of the second session were Sauber’s Nico Hülkenberg in P16 followed by Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, the second Aston of Lance Stroll and Haas’ Ollie Bearman exited in 20th place.
Verstappen was first out on track at the start of the second session and the Dutchman posted an opener of 1:26.643 to take an early P1. Once again, his time was eclipsed by the McLarens, however, as Piastri took P1 with a time of 1:26.269 and Norris made his way to second place. Antonelli also managed to find a little over three hundredths over the Red Bull driver to steal third place.
Piastri elected to stay in the pit lane for the final runs and when none of his close rivals delivered a significant improvement, including Verstappen, who was marginally slower on his second run than this first, the Australian held on to top spot. Russell, languishing in 11th after the first run, did make a leap forward, however, and he climbed to P3 ahead of Antonelli, leaving Verstappen in fifth.
There was no place in Q3, however, for Isack Hadjar who went out in P11 ahead of Hamilton, Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto, Alpine’s Jack Doohan and the second Racing Bull of Lawson.
After two sessions in which he’d set the pace only to be bounced out of P1, Verstappen upped the ante at the start of Q3 it. The Dutchman took provisional pole with a time of 1:26.492, just 0.003s ahead of Norris and 0.017s clear of Piastri.
However, with Piastri having already gone two tenths quicker than Max’s time in Q2 the final runs began with the expectation that the McLarens would find more time. And when Max suffered a snap on entry to Turn 1 that suspicion appeared to be confirmed.
The champion was in no mood to let a “tiny moment” derail his quest for pole, however and over the remainder of the lap he dragged back the deficit and eventually crossed the liner in
1:26.204. And when Norris locked up in Turn 17 Verstappen’s 43rd career pole was as good as sealed. The Briton took P2 0.065s off the Dutchman with Antonelli taking third ahead of Piastri and Russell. Carlos Sainz took sixth for Williams ahead of team-mate Alex Albon, with Charles Leclerc in P8 for Ferrari. Esteban Ocon finished ninth for Ferrari and the final top 10 spot went to Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda.

Lando Norris wins incident-packed Miami Sprint: F1
Miami (USA), 3 May 2025: Lando Norris benefited from a late Safety Car to jump ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri and his first Sprint win of 2025 ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri at the end of an incident packed wet-dry Sprint in Miami that saw Lewis Hamilton take third place for Ferrari after an early switch to slick tyres.
Steady rain in the hours before the race, led to a delayed start but when the lights at last went out on a drying track, Piastri reacted quickest, and he was able to attack pole sitter Kimi Antonelli on the inside into Turn 1. The teenage Mercedes driver tried to fight for position, but with Piastri holding a robust line, Antonelli was forced to go off track and he was passed by both Norris and Verstappen. The Mercedes driver dropped to fourth.
With a clear road ahead, Piastri began to pull away and after five laps the Australian had eked out a two-second gap back to Norris who was 1.8s ahead of Verstappen, whose start had briefly been examined for possibly being out of position but was soon deemed legal.
As the race headed towards the halfway mark, the track began to dry out more quickly and a number of teams began to consider a switch to slicks.
It was Red Bull Racing who made the first move, with Tsunoda pitting for Medium tyres at the end of lap 11. He rejoined in P19. Hamilton then pitted at the end of the following lap, for Softs.
At the front, Norris began to close on Piastri as DRS was enabled, but with Tsunoda going two seconds quicker than the field through the first sector it became clear that it was time for slick tyres and the field began to make the switch.
Verstappen was one of the first in at the end of lap 13, but after fitting a set of Softs the Dutchman was released into the pit lane too quickly and he collided with the incoming Antonelli. The Italian was forced to back out of his own stop and continue, while Verstappen lost his left front wing endplate. The Dutchman was quickly hit with a 10-second penalty for the unsafe release, dropping him all the way to P17 at the flag.
At the front, as the leading McLaren, Piastri had the opportunity to pit ahead of his team-mate and he switched to Softs at the end of lap 14. Norris, on worn inters should have been disadvantaged ahead of his lap 15 stop, but when Williams’ Carlos Sainz hit the wall and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso was spun into the barriers by Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson the Safety Car was deployed and Norris lucked in. He was already in the pit lane, and with the on-track pace slowed massively he was able to get back on track in first place.
With debris strewn across the track in several places, the SC stayed on track until the final lap and Norris took his first Sprint victory of the season ahead of his team-mate. Hamilton’s early stop for slicks also paid off and the Ferrari passed Verstappen ahead of the SC to take third place at the flag.
Fourth place went to Alex Albon, but after the flag the Williams driver was place under investigation for a possible infringement of Safety Car procedure. Russell took fifth for Mercedes ahead of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, with Liam Lawson seventh, though the New Zealander was also under investigation for the collision with Alonso.
At the flag, the final point went to Haas’ Oliver Bearman, with Tsunoda just missing out in P9, but with plenty for the Race Stewards to unpick after the race, the final classification was likely to change.

Antonelli tops Sprint qualifying to become youngest pole sitter: F1
Miami (USA), 3 May 2025: Kimi Antonelli took a sensational top spot in Sprint Qualifying for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, to become the youngest driver to take pole position in any race format in the history of F1. The 18-year-old Mercedes driver posted a time of 1:26.482 to beat McLaren’s championship leader Oscar Piastri by 0.045s. Lando Norris, in the other McLaren, will start the Sprint from P3 ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
In the first runs of SQ1, it was Kimi Antonelli who led the way, with the Mercedes driver posting a lap of 1:27.858 to sit 0.008s ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen third on 1:27.953. Championship leader Oscar Piastri lay in fourth place almost three tenths off Antonelli with team-mate George Russell in P5. Elsewhere, Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar has his opening flying lap deleted however and without a time ahead of the final runs, the Frenchman needed a strong final lap.
The Racing Bulls driver made no mistakes, and his final flyer lifted him to 12th at the end of the session and into SQ2. There was no place in the middle segment for Red Bull Racing’s Yuki Tsunoda, however.
The Japanese driver failed to make it across the line to start his final flyer before the chequered flag was shown and he dropped out of Sprint Qualifying in P18. Also ruled out at the end of SQ1 were 15th-placed Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Alpine’s Jack Doohan in P16, while Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto exited in P19 ahead of Haas’ Oliver Bearman who also failed to get across the line before the chequered flag.
At the top of the order, Russell took top spot with his final flyer of 1:27.688 ahead of Antonelli with Williams’ Alex Albon third ahead of Norris, Carlos Sainz and Piastri.
Verstappen set the initial pace in SQ2, with the Dutchman posting a time of 1:27.729. Antonelli then went two thousandths of second quicker to steal P1 before Norris moved almost two tenths clear and then Piastri went even quicker with a lap of 1:27.354.
It was Norris who made the most of the final runs of SQ2, however, and the Briton took top spot with a lap of 1:27.109, 0.136s ahead of Verstappen with Piastri in third 0.245s off his McLaren team-mate. Antonelli continued his good work with fourth place ahead of the Ferrari pair of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Russell went through in seventh ahead of Albon, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Hadjar.
Ruled out at the end of SQ2 were Kick Sauber’s Nico Hülkenberg in P11, Haas’ Esteban Ocon, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, who slapped the wall midway through his lap, Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson and Sainz, who had a massive lock up into Turn 11 and was forced to abandon his final flyer.
At the start of SQ3, Verstappen was first out on track and the Red Bull driver stopped the clock at 1:27.070. Russell was right behind the Dutchman on track, however, and he breezed past the Red Bull man’s time to reset the bar at 1:26.791 first flyer.
But while Russell headed back to the pit lane, Verstappen who had made a mistake on his lap, stayed out for a surprise second attempt. The 2024 Miami winner managed to improve, and he took provisional pole six hundredths of a second ahead of the Mercedes driver.
It was the other Mercedes driver who was going quickest, however. Norris first demoted Verstappen but behind him Antonelli was finding small margins of time and when he crossed the line, he took pole with a superb lap of 1:26.482. Piastri got close but in the end the Italian teenager’s time was good enough to hold on to a historic first pole position.
Behind the top four, Russell took fifth ahead of Leclerc, Hamilton, Albon, Hadjar and Alonso.

Lando Norris tops FP2 on Friday: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
Jeddah, 18 April 2025: At the start of the session, it was Red Bull’s Max Verstappen who set the pace on Medium tyres. The Dutchman posted a lap of 1:29.89 on his first flying lap but he was soon usurped McLaren’s Lando Norris who jumped to the top with a 1:29.27s lap on the same compound on Good Friday evening.
Charles Leclerc also beat Verstappen’s time, slotting into second with a 1:29.477s that included a purple final sector. Moments later the yellow flags came out Turns 1-2 to cover Lance Stroll, who spun into the run-off area as he suffered rear locking.
There was also a nervy moment for Williams’ Alex Albon too. The Thai driver had to take evasive action when he came across a slow Lewis Hamilton at Turn 18. The Ferrari driver was set to be investigated after the session. Piastri then posted a lap 1:29.273s but Leclerc then went quicker to take top spot on 1:29.002s.
Racing Bulls’ Lawson was the first to move to Softs and the New Zealander posted a time 0.5s off Leclerc. George Russell then moved up to P1 on Softs, but the Mercedes driver was not happy with the balance of his car and Williams Carlos Sainz jumped to P1 on 1:28.942s. Verstappen was the next to go for a qualifying simulation and the Red Bull Racing driver posted a time of 1:28.547 to open a solid half-second gap to the Spaniard.
Verstappen’s stay wasn’t long, however, as Piastri went a tenth clear at the top with a lap of 1:28.430. Norris was one of the last out for his Soft tyre run and with a purple first sector the championship leader jumped above his team-mate with a lap of 1:28.340.
However, Piastri wasn’t done and after cool down laps and a trip through the pit lane he went for another attempt on the same tyres. However, he abandoned the lap after he clipped the wall and failed to improve on his personal best.
Norris repeated that tactic but unlike his team-mate the Briton was able to find an improvement and he shaved seven hundredths of a second off his best lap to seal P1 0.163s clear of Piastri.
With the focus then turning to high fuel runs, mostly conducted on Medium tyres, Verstappen held onto third place, a little under three tenths of a second off Norris. Leclerc also went out for a later Soft run and the Ferrari driver moved up to fourth place with a time of 1:28.749 that left him two tenths clear of Sainz. Yuki Tsunoda was sixth in the second Red Bull, four tenths off his team-mate Verstappen, while Russell’s uncomfortable Soft tyre run left him seventh ahead of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, Sauber’s Nico Hülkenberg and Williams’ Alex Albon.
However, with nine minutes remaining the red flags came out when Tsunoda touched the wall on the inside of the final corner and was pitched into the opposite wall at the exit of the corner. With broken left suspension and significant damage to the right of his RB21, the session was halted.
The session did resume, but with just a minute left on the clock there was just time for the bulk of the field to make it out of the pit lane to perform a practice start from the grid.

Oscar Piastri takes controlled Bahrain win ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris: F1
Sakhir, 13 April 2025: Oscar Piastri handed McLaren its first Bahrain Grand Prix win with a controlled drive from pole position that saw the Australian finish 15 seconds clear or Mercedes’ George Russell while Lando Norris recovered from a starting grid penalty to battle through to third at the flag.
At the start of the race, polesitter Piastri got away well to take the lead. Alongside him, however, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was slow off the line and he was passed by Mercedes’ George Russell and the second McLaren of Lando Norris. Further back Max Verstappen also had a tricky start and Red Bull driver was passed by Williams’ hard-charging Carlos Sainz. Verstappen slotted into eighth place ahead of Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.
As Piastri took control of the first stint, Sainz charged up to sixth, but he was soon passed by Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and Verstappen followed the Italian driver at the hairpin to reclaim seventh. Sainz then slipped back and on lap 9 both Hamilton and Yuki Tsunoda in the second Red Bull charged past the Williams driver.
Norris was in trouble, however. The McLaren driver has stopped short on the grid and in trying to move he put his car beyond the grid slot. He was handed a five-second time penalty.
The Soft tyres many had started on quickly began to fade and at the end of lap 10 Norris was the first to shed them. He dived into pits, served his time penalty and made a switch Mediums.
Sixth-placed Pierre Gasly and Verstappen were next in for a change, but the champion’s switch to the Hard compound Pirellis was a slow 4.7 seconds and when he emerged, he found himself three seconds back from Gasly and with backmarkers between them.
At the front, Medium-tyre starters Leclerc and Hamilton took over as the lead pair, ahead of Piastri and Russell. Norris was now fifth ahead of Gasly and Haas’ Esteban Ocon, while Verstappen was down in P8.
Ferrari completed a stacked stop at the end of lap 17 and while Leclerc slotted into the pack in fifth and soon passed Gasly, Hamilton emerged in P11. With fresher tyres on board, he soon made his way past Tsunoda.
On lap 20 Verstappen was ambushed by Antonelli who got past in Turn 4. Struggling with “everything overheating” Max was then passed by Hamilton who was gradually hauling his way forward.
At the front, Piastri was slowly stretching away from Russell and on lap 24 he was five seconds clear of the Mercedes. Norris was third but being pressured by Leclerc who almost made his way past in Turn 1 only to go too deep. The Monegasque driver wasn’t done, however, and on the following lap he powered past the McLaren in Turn 4 to steal third place.
With the second pit stop window now open, Tsunoda climbed to P7 but on lap 31, he tangled with Sainz. The Red Bull driver slid sideways into the Williams man’s car and the Spaniard’s car was damaged. With debris strewn across the track the Safety Car was deployed, and the pit lane was quickly flooded with drivers taking advantage of the caution.
Behind the SC, Piastri led ahead of Russell, Leclerc, Norris and Hamilton. Gasly was now sixth ahead of Ocon and Max, with Alpine’s Jack Doohan next ahead of Sainz and Tsunoda.
The Safety Car left the track at the end of lap 35 and Piastri held the lead ahead of Russell and Leclerc. Hamilton and Norris tussled but after swapping position twice the McLaren driver forged ahead. Verstappen, too, was on the move and he dived past Ocon to claim P7.
In a tight closing third of the race, battles throughout the order. Norris pressured Leclerc for a dozen laps and although the Ferrari driver was initially able to resist, eventually his defence faded and on lap 52 the McLaren driver got past. Further back, Verstappen closed up to Gasly and on the final lap of the race the champion was able to power past to take sixth place.
At the front, Piastri was in control and after 57 laps he took his second win of the year ahead of Russell who was set for investigation for a DRS infringement late in the race due to technical problems with his car. Norris finished third ahead of Leclerc and Hamilton finished in fifth place ahead of Verstappen. Gasly ended up sixth ahead Ocon while Tsunoda took his first points for Red Bull Racing with ninth place ahead of the second Haas of Bearman.

Oscar Piastri tops FP2 as Lando Norris completes McLaren 1-2 at Bahrain
Sakhir (Bahrain), 11 April 2025: Oscar Piastri led a McLaren one-two in the second practice session for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, with the Australian finishing 1500ths of a second clear of team-mate Lando Norris.
The pair used the hour-long session to forge a strong advantage over the rest of the field, with Mercedes’ George Russell half a second off the pace in third place and with Japanese Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen in P7 and over eight tenths of a second adrift of top spot.
In the session’s opening quarter, Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton set the early pace with a lap of 1:32.157 on Mediums. Soft tyre-shod Kimi Antonelli slotted into second, +0.141 off the man he replaced at Mercedes, while George Russel was third on the same tyre, almost four-tenths off his former team-mate. Max Verstappen then moved ahead of Russell with a lap of 1:32.376 on Soft tyres after the Red Bull driver had earlier complained about his car ride, which was bumping around the track.
There was a bigger problem, though, for Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso who had an issue with his steering wheel and returned to the garage to fit a new one.
Just after the quarter-hour mark Russell moved in the 1m31s bracket and to the top of the timesheet as he outpaced Hamilton by two-tenths of a second.
Hamilton then bolted on a set of Soft tyres and thanks to a purple middle sector he moved back to P1 with a lap of 1:31.915, still almost two seconds off Verstappen’s 2024 pole time.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was the next to get a spell in P1 as he also used Soft tyres to move the benchmark to 1:31.729. The Monegasque’s time at the top was all too brief, however, as Williams’ Alex Albon posted a time of 1:31.696 to slip past and then Verstappen found almost four-tenths more to claim P1 with a lap of 1:31.330.
The McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri had spent much of the opening half of the session running Hard compound Pirelli tyres but as the midpoint approached both moved to Soft tyres and Piastri took top spot on 1:30.505, just 0.0154 ahead of Norris. The Mercedes pair also moved ahead of Verstappen with Russell in third, half a second off Piastri, with Antonelli two-tenths further back.
With a little over 20 minutes left in the session, Leclerc split the Mercedes, 0.013s off Russell, but there was no upward movement for Verstappen who complained that he had no brakes in the final corner as he stalled in P7 behind stablemate Isack Hadjar who was the highest placed of the Red Bull-owned cars with a time of 1:31.238 set on Medium tyres. Verstappen, however, was working his way through a longer run on Softs, as was team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, who was down on 17th place.
With long runs now the order of the evening, the times settled and with the McLarens of Piastri in the top two spots ahead of Russell and Leclerc, with Antonelli in fifth place. Hadjar took sixth for Racing Bulls, with Verstappen in seventh and still complaining of brake issues in the final corner. Hamilton took eighth place for Ferrari, just 0.008s ahead of Haas’ Oliver Bearman who put in a strong performance to finish ahead the Williams pair of Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon.
