Oscar Piastria baited Max Verstappen into corner No. 1, slid behind his rear wing and overtook him on lap No. 14 for a lead he would never lose Sunday en route to a dominant Miami Grand Prix victory.

Piastri is up 16 points on Norris, with Norris another 16 up on Verstappen. Fans' best hope for an exciting champ battle down the stretch will likely have to hinge on Norris regaining pace ... or not getting barged off the track by Verstappen.

Just five races into the Formula 1 season and there’s already a compelling championship battle with inner organization implications.
