Formula 1 heads to the United Arab Emirates for the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, December 8.
Max Verstappen has won this race in each of the last four years and is coming off a win in Qatar last weekend.
While he opened a narrow favorite in the Formula 1 odds, that's no longer the case following qualifying. Read more below.

Max Verstappen has dominated Abu Dhabi for four straight years, and a fifth win at Yas Marina Circuit would tie him with Lewis Hamilton for most ever at the event. But, as anyone who has followed F1 in 2024 knows, we can't expect a clockwork performance from him.
Verstappen's up-and-down season still earned another Driver's Championship, and another win could certainly be in the offing, but the Constructor's Championship is still up for grabs.
McLaren is decisively ahead of Ferrari, though, so a Lando Norris win would put it on ice. But Charles Leclerc, who was runner-up to Verstappen in Qatar, is third on the odds board and could throw a wrench into Norris' spokes (figuratively speaking, of course).

Understanding F1 betting odds
The most popular way to bet on Formula 1 odds is by simply picking the winner of a particular race. Other popular F1 betting options include which car/constructor will win and whether or not a particular race car driver will end up on the podium with a Top-3 finish.
F1 race odds usually look like this:
- Sergio Perez +1,400
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $1,400 if Perez wins that particular race. If one driver is especially dominant, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of that driver's odds like this:
- Max Verstappen -120
This means that you would need to bet $120 to win $100 on Verstappen winning the race.
