McLaren’s 2025 campaign has been nothing short of a masterclass — relentless, clinical, and laced with purpose. After a rare slip in Montreal saw George Russell and Mercedes snatch a win, the Papaya outfit hit back with force in Austria, locking out the top two with Lando Norris leading Oscar Piastri across the line.
Despite Norris’ emphatic response, it’s still Piastri who holds pole position in the race for the Drivers' Championship — a battle now laced with intra-team drama as the season approaches its critical phase.
With the Constructors' Championship effectively wrapped up, the focus sharpens on the fight for second place and the individual legacies being carved out in 2025. Here's how the odds are shaping up.

2025 F1 Drivers' Championship favorites
Oscar Piastri ()
Oscar Piastri is in the form of his life — five wins from the opening 11 races have cemented his status as the driver to beat in 2025. Though he began the season as second-favourite behind Norris, it wasn’t long before the Australian snatched the spotlight — and hasn’t let go since.
McLaren's dominance has given Piastri the machinery to shine, and he's seized that opportunity with ruthless efficiency. By contrast, he managed just two wins in the entirety of 2024, not opening his account until July. The shift this year has been seismic.
Lando Norris ()
Lando Norris has found a timely resurgence. After a nightmare in Canada — where he finished a dismal 18th — the Brit responded like a man possessed, dictating the pace in Austria and holding Piastri at bay by over two seconds.
That performance marked his third win of the campaign and closed the gap to just 15 points in the standings. It also triggered a significant shift in the odds, with his price tightening from 4.00 to 2.50 — a clear sign that momentum may be swinging.
Max Verstappen ()
It’s been a season of frustration for Max Verstappen. Once priced as low as 3.50 after his triumph in Emilia Romagna, the reigning four-time champion now finds himself languishing at 15.00 after a chaotic early exit in Austria — taken out by Kimi Antonelli on Lap 1.
Verstappen has reached the podium just once in his last five races, and the aura of invincibility that once surrounded him is beginning to fade. If there's to be a final chapter to this championship push, it must start now.

Such is McLaren's dominance that bookmakers have suspended traditional Constructors' Championship betting and introduced a market excluding the Woking-based giants. In this adjusted landscape, Ferrari holds the edge — but only just.
The fight behind McLaren is far from over — and for Ferrari and Mercedes, there’s still legacy, pride, and podiums to play for.
