The next stop for the Formula 1 circuit is the Belgian Grand Prix, and oddsmakers are projecting a familiar pattern to continue. McLaren-Mercedes has taken the checkered flag in nine of 12 races this season.

McLaren-Mercedes teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are set as +160 co-favorites to win the Belgian Grand Prix. Norris has won the past two races. Piastri had won four of six races before the recent hot streak of Norris.

Only four drivers have won a race this season. George Russell of Mercedes and four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda are the others earning at least one trip down victory lane.

That being the case, there is a betting market asking you to pick the next F1 driver to break through and post their first win of the 2025 season. It's Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc who is holding forth as the odds-on-150 favorite for this prop wager.

Let's take a look at the latest betting lines on this Formula 1 prop bet from the leading online sportsbooks. Remember, odds are always subject to change.

Leclerc's Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton is the second choice in this betting market at +110. At a betting line of +275, Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes is the only other driver with odds shorter than +2000.

F1 Belgian Grand Prix Betting Picks

Before we take a look at the top contenders to gain their first win of the season and get into the analysis and predictions for this outcome, take some time to check out our expansive Formula 1 betting page.

Charles Leclerc (-150)

Ferrari's Leclerc has three podium finishes over the past five races. During his first eight seasons on the F1 circuit, the Monégasque driver has posted eight Grand Prix victories.

Leclerc won a trio of races in 2024. He was victorious in Monaco, Italy, and the USA.

Lewis Hamilton (+110)

On the one hand, it's hard to imagine a legend like seven-time world champion Hamilton going the entire season without posting a win. Then again, the veteran English driver has just two wins over his last 80 F1 starts.

Interestingly, Hamilton's most recent win was in the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. He was a two-time winner last season.

Kimi Antonelli (+275)

Contesting his rookie Formula 1 season, Italian driver Antonelli replaced Hamilton at Mercedes.

Antonelli recorded his first podium finish with a third in the Canadian Grand Prix. He's scored points in six of 12 races this season.

Fernando Alonso (+2000)

The veteran Aston Martin driver is competing in his 22nd F1 season. Italy's Alonso, 43, has won two world titles and posted 32 F1 victories.

However, his most recent win came in the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.

Carlos Sainz Jr. (+2000)

The Spanish driver for Williams has recorded four wins over 11 Formula 1 seasons. He won the Australian and Mexico City Grand Prix races last year with Ferrari.

Yuki Tsunoda (+2000)

Tsunoda has just one top-10 finish over his past 14 F1 starts. The Racing Bulls Honda driver has never recorded a podium finish in his five-season Formula 1 career.

Alex Albon (+2000)

The UK-born Williams driver began his F1 career in 2019. His best showing on the track is a pair of third-place finishes in the Tuscan and Bahrain Grand Prix races in 2020.

Will Any Winless Formula 1 Driver Double Down?

There's also a prop wager at Bovada asking which F1 driver will be the next to win at least two races. The best bet in this betting line is Russell. The Mercedes driver has already posted a win in the Canadian Grand Prix. He's -275 to grab a second victory this season.

Among the winless drivers, it's again the Ferrari teammates who are given the next best betting lines on this prop. Leclerc is at odds of +325, followed by Hamilton at +450.

In a separate prop, Russell is given +250 odds to record three or more victories during the 2025 race season.

Which Team Will Be Next To Win Its First F1 Race?

Staying with the same theme, oddsmakers are going with Ferrari at short odds of -275 to be the next team to post its first win of the Formula 1 season.

Aston Martin and Williams are next in this betting line at +1400. No other team is at shorter odds than +2000.

Formula 1 Next Winner Betting Pick

With 105 F1 victories on his resume, we're going to just go out on a limb and assume Hamilton will eventually figure out what's slowing down the Ferraris this season and find his way to a victory.
