Assessing the talking points and trends in the early stages of Formula 1's world title battle after the first five races of the 2025 season heading into this weekend's Miami Grand Prix.
Piastri settles strongly into new status
Seven days after his victory in Bahrain led to him being installed as the bookmakers' favourite for the world title for the first time, Oscar Piastri solidified his new status with another accomplished weekend en route to victory over Max Verstappen in Saudi Arabia.
The in-form Australian has now achieved the milestone of winning back-to-back races for the first time in his F1 career - a feat team-mate Lando Norris is yet to manage in the same season - and he has won three of the last four races since the error that cost him at least second place in the Melbourne season-opener.
