Miami Grand Prix favorites
Charles Leclerc (-140)
Charles Leclerc and Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz successfully locked down a 1-2 pole position ahead of Sunday's race.
Can Leclerc recapture that early-season pace and bounce back on American soil?
Max Verstappen (+165)
It's been a bit of a roller coaster for the defending F1 World Drivers' Champion thus far, but the reliability issues that held Verstappen back in the season's early going seem to be in the rearview.
Verstappen won the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in the previous race weekend after securing pole in both Friday's qualifying as well as in Saturday's sprint race. Can he go back-to-back and continue closing the gap between him and Charles Leclerc atop the Drivers' Championship standings?

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:
- Lewis Hamilton -175
This means that you would need to bet $175 to win $100 on Hamilton winning the race.
