Oscar Piastri delivered a commanding performance at the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, securing his fifth victory of the season and leading a McLaren one-two finish at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Piastri crossed the line after 66 laps with a time of:32'57.375, just.471 seconds ahead of teammate Lando Norris, reinforcing McLaren’s resurgence in the F1 standings.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc claimed the final podium spot, marking his second consecutive top-three finish and Ferrari’s first Barcelona podium since 2017. George Russell finished fourth for Mercedes, while Max Verstappen, after a late-race penalty, dropped from fifth to tenth, allowing Nico Hulkenberg to move up to fifth place.
The race was not without incident: Kimi Antonelli retired due to a power unit issue, and Alex Albon was also forced out after a collision. Isack Hadjar impressed with a seventh-place finish, continuing his strong rookie season.
With these results, Piastri strengthens his position in the 2025 F1 standings, and McLaren’s momentum puts pressure on rivals as the championship heads deeper into the season. The next Grand Prix will be closely watched to see if Piastri and McLaren can maintain their winning form.
