Four Grands Prix have yielded four podiums and the Championship lead for Lando Norris, but team mate Oscar Piastri is stealing all the headlines courtesy of a dominant win in Bahrain.

The odds for the win
Oscar Piastri started 2025 as arguably McLaren’s number two, but he lines up in Jeddah only three points shy of his team mate in the Championship. The Australian has won 50% of the races this season, dominating last time out in Bahrain, and only finished off the podium at his home Grand Prix after going off in the wet conditions.
Lando Norris gave McLaren a double podium in Bahrain, but the Briton was far from his best, crossing the line over 16 seconds behind Piastri. After starting on a high in Melbourne, Norris has struggled with his car at times and comes into this weekend having never finished better than seventh (2022) in Saudi Arabia.
Frustration doesn’t begin to explain Max Verstappen’s Bahrain Grand Prix. He endured car challenges, light malfunctions at the pit stop and tyre issues. Despite this, Saudi Arabia has been a happy hunting ground for Verstappen on his previous four visits, winning twice and never finishing outside the top two. He starts with the best average finishing position at this venue with 1.5.
