2025 F1 Championship standings after Oscar Piastri's win at Bahrain Grand Prix, know Where is Verstappen placed

Lando Norris has tightened his grip on the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship following a solid podium finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The McLaren driver crossed the line in third, but that was enough to not only hold onto the top spot but extend his lead in the standings.

Heading into the race weekend, Norris was just a single point clear of Max Verstappen. However, a disappointing outing for the Red Bull driver has caused him to slip down to third in the championship race. The major beneficiary was Oscar Piastri, Norris’ McLaren teammate, who clinched a commanding victory under the Bahrain lights.

Piastri's win means he now sits just three points behind Norris in the standings, setting up an early-season showdown between the two McLaren drivers.
