talkSPORT F1 betting tips: Best bets for the Miami Grand Prix 2025
Oscar Piastri heads to the United States for this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix as world championship leader for the first time in his career. The Australian claimed his third victory of the season in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago and that saw him take a 10-point lead in the standings over McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, with defending champion Max Verstappen two points further back in third for Red Bull. That trio dominate the betting for Sunday’s race, which is run on the roads around Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Piastri and Norris, last year’s winner in Miami, are joint-favourites to earn McLaren’s fifth win in six races this season. talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 and get £20 in free bets – CLAIM HERE* Miami GP betting tips Lando Norris to win Miami Grand Prix @ 11/8 Chrles Leclerc podium finish @ 7/4 Yuki Tsunoda top-six finish @ 11/8 Norris can channel good memories to hit back Norris put in probably the best drive of his career to win the season-opener in Australia, but things haven’t gone his way since.
