Mexican Grand Prix favorites

Max Verstappen (-163)

Despite claiming his second straight World Drivers' Championship a few weeks ago, Max Verstappen remains the clear favorite in every race he gears up for. This week in Mexico is no different. 

In a display of pure dominance, Verstappen has won 13 of 19 races this season and made quick of work of the Drivers' Championship while helping Red Bull claim its first Constructors' Championship since 2013.

Lewis Hamilton (+350)

Though Mercedes couldn't mount a charge for pole in the end, it was still a positive qualifying session for the heavyweight team. Despite qualifying third, Hamilton will enter race day as the second favorite. 

George Russell (+450)

Like Hamilton, George Russell will be letdown Mercedes' early Saturday pace didn't carry into Q3 — but thrilled with the team's standing ahead of Sunday. Russell will join Verstappen on the front row, starting second.

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.
