F1 is known for its high-octane brand of racing where every second counts, but sometimes, the results aren't all that close. In 2025, McLaren driver Oscar Piastri secured his third victory in a row by winning the Miami Grand Prix, finishing 37.644 seconds ahead of the closest non-McLaren car. While teammate Lando Norris was only 4.63 seconds behind him, McLaren's margin of victory from third-place George Russell was significant. Throughout F1 history, the gap between first and second place has yielded impressive times. Here are the largest margins of victory over the years.
