Will it be McLaren's first title since 2008, or can Max Verstappen swoop in and steal the most unlikely of championships? At the halfway point of the 2025 F1 season, Oscar Piastri leads McLaren team-mate Lando Norris by just eight points in the fight to become the first drivers' champion with the team since Lewis Hamilton in 2008. Verstappen finds himself 69 points behind Piastri following a turbulent period for Red Bull with the sacking of Christian Horner, but do you think he can get back in the title fight? What about George Russell? Can the only other driver to win a grand prix so far in 2025 pull off a stunning title win? Below in the poll, we have listed Piastri and the three drivers within 100 points of him as candidates to win the world championship. Simply let us know who you think will win by voting, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
