Piastri Wins F1 Miami Grand Prix as McLaren Rules the Streets and Hamilton Hits Boiling Point
Formula 1 fans just got the race of the season โ and maybe the beginning of a brand-new chapter in F1 history.
Oscar Piastri dominated the F1 Miami Grand Prix, clinching his third consecutive victory and fourth win in six races this season in a performance that left the paddock stunned and the podium glowing orange.
But while McLaren celebrated, behind the scenes, Ferrari was on fire โ and not in a good way.
Lewis Hamilton went into full meltdown mode over team orders, clashed with Ferrari bosses, and left fans wondering if heโs already thinking about walking away from the teamโor the sport.
Piastri Is Unstoppable โ McLarenโs New Star Takes Over
Letโs start with the hero of the weekend: Oscar Piastri.
The 23-year-old Australian drove like a seasoned champion, fending off fierce competition from Red Bull and teammate Lando Norris to win his third straight Grand Prix โ something no McLaren driver has done since Mika Hakkinen in 1998.
โItโs unbelievable,โ Piastri said. โWeโve worked so hard, and to win again โ in Miami of all places โ is surreal.โ
His performance wasnโt just dominant โ it was historic. He passed Max Verstappen on lap 14 and never looked back, keeping Norris at bay in the final laps as McLaren pulled off a dream 1-2 finish.
Norris vs. Verstappen Turns into the First Major Clash of 2025
While Piastri soared, Norris was busy going wheel-to-wheel with Verstappen, who looked determined to prove that becoming a father hadnโt slowed him down.
Verstappen aggressively defended his lead early on, forcing Norris off the track. Lando dropped four spots and was furious, claiming Max had run him out of road. The stewards? They didnโt even blink. No penalty.
But Norris wasnโt done. He clawed his way back to second โ but couldnโt catch Piastri. Still, he celebrated the McLaren 1-2 like a true team player.
โI wanted to win, but this is a massive result for the team,โ Norris said.
Verstappen Fades to Fourth After Early Surge
Despite grabbing pole and sprinting away at the start, Max Verstappen faded badly in the second half of the race.
The Red Bull just didnโt have the pace โ and as the laps ticked down, Verstappen slipped behind not only Piastri and Norris, but also George Russell, who finished third for Mercedes.
โWeโll take it and move on,โ Verstappen said. โWe werenโt good enough today.โ
Ferrari Meltdown: Hamilton Explodes Over Team Orders
While McLaren soared and Red Bull stumbled, Ferrari was imploding.
Lewis Hamilton, running behind teammate Charles Leclerc mid-race, began furiously complaining over team radio, accusing Leclerc of slowing him down and ruining his tires.
โThis is no teamwork, folks!โ Hamilton barked.
Ferrari responded by ordering Leclerc to let Hamilton pass. But when Lewis finally got ahead โ he didnโt have the pace. So what did Ferrari do?
They made Hamilton give the place back.
That was the final straw.
Post-Race Firestorm: โLewis Is Fed Upโ
After the race, Hamilton reportedly stormed into Ferrariโs motorhome and unleashed a tirade on senior management.
An insider told reporters:
โLewis is completely fed up with Ferrariโs performance and communication. Heโs seriously considering quitting the team โ and maybe even Formula 1 โ if things donโt improve.โ
And hereโs where it gets really spicy: Kimi Antonelli, Hamiltonโs teenage replacement at Mercedes, finished sixth โ ahead of both Ferrari drivers.
Leclerc was seventh. Hamilton? Eighth. The silence in the Ferrari garage was deafening.
Hamiltonโs Future in Doubt โ Is This the Beginning of the End?
Lewis Hamilton joined Ferrari to chase an eighth title and cement his legacy.
But right now, heโs fighting with his team, getting beaten by his future replacement, and stuck behind teammate orders that make no sense.
โIf this continues, heโll walk,โ said one F1 insider. โHe didnโt come to Ferrari to finish eighth.โ
Kimi Antonelli: The Future Just Beat the Legend
Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli, who earns a fraction of Hamiltonโs salary, quietly drove a flawless race to finish sixth โ a full two positions ahead of the 7-time world champ.
It was the second straight race where Antonelli outshone Hamilton, and Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff couldnโt hide his smile post-race.
โKimi was brilliant,โ Wolff said. โThis is just the beginning.โ
