Betting to win the Drivers Championship without Verstappen

Max Verstappen may have wrapped up the Drivers Championship, and Red Bull already had the Constructors Championship confirmed. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing more at stake this season - especially from a betting perspective.

In the betting to win the Drivers Championship without Verstappen, the Dutchman’s teammate Sergio Perez is still out in front on 224 points, 30 ahead of his closest rival Lewis Hamilton (194 points). In the betting, Perez is -400, and Hamilton is +275.

Also hanging in there is Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard has 183 points, but his Aston Martin has been poor towards the end of the season, which is reflected in his latest odds of +20000 in this market.

Betting to win the Constructors Championship without Red Bull

In the betting to win the Constructors Championship without Red Bull, Mercedes (-350) are the favorites. Currently, they sit second behind Red Bull with 326 points. Ferrari sits third in the table on 298 points and is +350 second favorite in the betting.

Despite being fourth in the table on 230 points, Aston Martin hasn’t even been given odds by BetOnline. This shows just how poorly they have performed in the second half of the F1 season.

The outsiders who have arrived late at the party are McLaren. After double podiums in their last two races, McLaren now has 219 points and is +750.

Betting to win the 2023 United States Grand Prix

In the latest betting to win Sunday’s race, Max Verstappen is -450 with the best Formula 1 online betting sites. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are joint-second at +1200, with - no longer assuming the automatic role of second favorite every week - Sergio Perez next at +1800.

After the two Red Bulls and McLarens is Charles Leclerc at +2500. Then the trio of Carlos Sainz, George Russell, and Lewis Hamilton are +2800. Further underlining the decline in Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso is +6600.

Our US Grand Prix Betting Picks

The most successful team at the US Grand Prix is Ferrari with ten wins, and Lewis Hamilton is the best driver with six career wins.

One of those wins didn’t come in 2022, as Max Verstappen took the checkered flag. But Lewis Hamilton did finish second with Charles Leclerc third. To complete the history lesson, Carlos Sainz was on the pole, and George Russell had the fastest lap.

All this shows that although Verstappen won here last year, Red Bull didn’t have things all their own way. The 5.513 km long course has 20 turns, of which only three require the drivers to use their brakes (according to AlphaTauri’s website). In the last two races, McLaren has benefited from the fast corners, so these facts suggest they might also take a liking to this course.

Take a Punt on McLaren

Again, this weekend, there is a Sprint race. Max Verstappen is also the favorite to win that race at -400, with Lando Norris at +1100 and Oscar Piastri at +1200.

We feel that the McLarens are good value to win the Sprint. It’s a shorter format, and if one of their drivers can get to the front of the field, anything is possible. To put it another way, at odds of +1100 on Lando Norris and +1200 on Oscar Piastri, they are worth betting on.
