Although he's failed to win in two of the last three races, as the Formula 1 drivers arrive in Brazil for this week's Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is still getting the betting love.

Even though he ran third in the Mexican Grand Prix, Verstappen is still favored to win the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Oddsmakers are setting Verstappen as the +140 betting choice to win this race.

McLaren's Lando Norris is the second pick in this betting market at +160. His teammate Oscar Piastri is a distant third pick in the Formula 1 betting line at +400.

Max Verstappen (+140)

Even with his loss in Mexico, Verstappen has won three of the past five Formula 1 races. He's landed on the podium after each of the last six races.

Max loves Brazil. Verstappen has won the last two Sao Paulo Grand Prix races. He also won in Brazil in 2019.

Lando Norris (+160)

The win by Norris in Mexico ended McLaren's four-race winless drought. It also halted the five-race skid of Norris.

His best finish in this race was a second-place run in 2023. He ran sixth here last year.

Oscar Piastri (+400)

No longer the F1 series leader, Piastri has just one win in his last seven races. He missed the podium for the fourth straight race in the Mexican Grand Prix, finishing fifth for the second race in succession.

Piastri has never enjoyed the Sao Paulo GP. He ran eighth last year and 14th in 2023.

Charles Leclerc (+1400)

Ferrari's Leclerc finished second in the Mexican GP. It was his best finish of the season since also running second in the Canadian Grand Prix.

George Russell (+1600)

Following up on his sixth-place performance in the US Grand Prix. Russell slumped to seventh in the Mexican Grand Prix.

The British driver won the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix. He ran fourth in last year's race.

Lewis Hamilton (+2800)

Another devastating result in the disappointing season for the seven-time world champion. Hamilton was a distant 10th in the Mexican Grand Prix.

Hamilton has won this race on three occasions. However, since his 2021 victory, he's finished second, eighth, and 10th in his past three Sao Paulo Grand Prix races.

Best Sao Paulo GP Prop Bets

In Sao Paulo Grand Prix prop betting, Verstappen is the +175 betting pick to earn pole position for the race. However, oddsmakers are setting McLaren as the -140 chalk to be the car that will run the fastest in qualifying.

Still winless this season, and with time running out, Leclerc is +600 and Hamilton +900 to win a race this season. As a team, Ferrari is +350 to gain a victory before the 2025 race season concludes.

Norris Now Favored In Formula 1 Championship Futures

Following his latest failure in Mexico, oddsmakers are finally giving up on Piastri when it comes to defending his F1 world driving title. It's Norris, the winner in the Mexican Grand Prix, who is now set as the -130 odds-on chalk to be the 2025 Formula 1 champion.

With 357 points, Norris moved atop the points standings, one point better in the table than his teammate Piastri. Verstappen is third with 321 points, followed by Russell at 258.

In Formula 1 futures, Piastri is the second betting choice to win the title with odds of +225. Verstappen is the third betting pick at +350. Then you drop all the way to Russell at +30000.

Sao Paulo Grand Prix Betting Pick

Is this the week that Piastri finally emerges from his funk? It would be nice to suggest so and offer him at a price, but the Australian driver shows no track record of success on this track.
