Formula 1 heads stateside this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri entering the event as the new championship leader.

The odds for the win
Off the back of his third victory of the season last time out in Saudi Arabia, Piastri is rated as the favourite to take the spoils at the Miami International Autodrome. The Australian has never finished inside the top 10 in Miami – can he rectify that this time around?
Not far behind in the odds is his McLaren team mate Lando Norris, the man who memorably scored his debut win at the track in 2024. Max Verstappen is also one to keep an eye on, with the Red Bull driver having stood on the rostrum three times so far this year which included his triumph in Japan.

| Oscar Piastri | 2.36 |
| Lando Norris | 2.50 |
| Max Verstappen | 7.15 |
| George Russell | 15.99 |

Can Piastri continue his winning streak in Miami?
The odds for a podium finish
While those three aforementioned names dominate the odds when it comes to who is most likely to stand on the podium in Miami, George Russell is another potential candidate, the Mercedes man having finished within the top three in Australia, China and Bahrain.
Just behind him in the rankings is Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver scored his maiden rostrum of the campaign in Saudi Arabia and will be looking to repeat that feat during the weekend ahead.
