After McLaren’s dominant one-two in Miami this month, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were asked whether their rivalry this season could evolve into a “Hamilton vs Rosberg scenario from 2016”, a year when Mercedes had a dominant car and their two drivers were allowed to slug it out to a bitter conclusion.

Max Verstappen secured his second win of the 2025 F1 season with a statement drive to victory at the Imola GP. The timing of the Virtual Safety Car and full Safety Car interruptions played a key role in determining the final results.

Oscar Piastri holds on to his World Drivers Championship points lead with a podium finish but loses ground to both Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
