Miami Grand Prix Predictions & Betting tips - Formule 1
by Devesh Jaganath |
The 2025 Formula 1 heads to Florida this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. Oscar Piastri currently leads the driver standings with 99 points, Lando Norris is in second on 89, and Max Verstappen sits third with 87 points. Let’s get into the race prediction.
If the first five races of the 2025 season are an indication of what we are in for this year, you can’t help but be excited as an F1 fan.
Oscar Piastri has been the standout performer over the first two months, and McLaren look to be the team to beat in the Constructors championship, but you can’t count out Max Verstappen this early.
Despite a poor Spring session, the Red Bull ace notched up his third pole of the season during qualifying for the Miami GP, edging Lando Norris by just 0.065s.
However, the most impressive performance arguably of any qualifier so far came on Saturday by Kim Antonelli, who secured P3, ahead of Piastri and George Russell in P4 and P5, respectively.
Notably, Piastri was the only driver not to improve his time in Q3’s final qualifying segment. Carlos Sainz, Alexander Ablon, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon and Yuki Tsunoda round out P6 to P10, respectively.
There are plenty of subplots in this race, but the main storyline is that this looks poised to be another McLaren vs Red Bull showdown, but who will claim the top step?

Our Miami Grand Prix - Formule 1 prediction
If you had any doubts, McLaren announced themselves as clear contenders for both championships this season last week, largely thanks to the performance of Oscar Piastri, which is a bit of a surprise given how good Lando Norris was last season.
However, the Aussie has been the better driver across the first five races of the season and will be buzzing with last week’s performance. We feel he will carry the momentum into this one and claim a spot on the podium. Our Miami Grand Prix prediction is Oscar Piastri podium finish.
