McLaren has been the dominant team on the grid this season, and Lando Norris is second to teammate Oscar Piastri in the drivers’ standings with 314 points to Piastri’s 336.
The 25-year-old driver won the opening race of the season in Australia but then had to wait until Monaco to claim his second victory. Norris placed second and 18th in his next two outings before winning back-to-back races in Austria and England. He fell to second in Belgium, but picked up his fifth victory of the year in Hungary.
Norris has not won a race since then, finishing 18th in the Netherlands, second in Italy, and seventh in Azerbaijan. In the most recent F1 competition, Norris placed third in Singapore.
Norris has never finished better than second at the United States Grand Prix, finishing in that spot in 2023. In 2024, Norris placed fourth.
The reigning and defending world champion, Max Verstappen, has had a mixed season in 2025 for Red Bull, but he has been impressive in his past four starts, starting on the pole and winning in Italy and Azerbaijan, while placing second at the Dutch Grand Prix and the recent Singapore GP. Verstappen is the only F1 driver to win back-to-back races this year, which he has done twice. In Singapore, he could have become the first driver to win three straight in 2025, but he finished as the runner-up.
Verstappen is in third place in the Drivers’ Standings with 273 points.
The four-time champion, Verstappen, is a three-time winner of the United States Grand Prix, placing first in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Last year he placed third in this competition.
The current betting favorite to win the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship is McLaren star Oscar Piastri. The 24-year-old is currently in the top spot in the Drivers’ Standings with 336 points, which puts him 25 points ahead of his teammate, Lando Norris.
The Australian driver has been in fantastic form so far this season, winning seven of the 18 races so far – with victories in China, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Piastri has also earned three runner-up spots and four third-place finishes. The only races he hasn’t stood on the podium were Australia (ninth), Canada (fourth), the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he crashed out on the first lap. His retirement marked the first time he failed to finish a race since the 2023 United States GP in October 2023. In his most recent outing, in Singapore, Piastri placed fourth.
Piastri has competed in the United States Grand Prix twice, retiring in 2023 and finishing in fifth in 2024.
With the way the defending champ, who drives for Red Bull, has been performing as of late, and his success on this track in the past, look for Max Verstappen get back to the top of the podium in Austin.
The betting pick is for Max Verstappen to win the 2025 United States GP.
