With two wins in four rounds, Oscar Piastri is now in a position to take the championship lead at the end of this week - and if he keeps performing like he did in Bahrain, he'll be hard to stop from winning the title at the end of the year.

Oscar Piastri's excellent form has given rise to his being touted the 2025 season's favourite for the F1 title — not Lando Norris.

McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are right where they thought they would be Oscar Piastri’s win in the Bahrain Grand Prix made him the first repeat winner of the 2025 Formula 1 season. It also pulled him into second place in the F1 Drivers’ Championship standings, just three points off the leader.
