There's a strange look to the odds board heading into the US Grand Prix. The race favorite isn't driving a McLaren.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen is the +200 betting choice to win the race. Verstappen was second in the Singapore Grand Prix. That ended his two-race win streak. 

The McLaren tandem of Lando Norris (+210) and Oscar Piastri (+240) is next in the Formula 1 betting line.

Let's take a look at the latest US Grand Prix odds from the leading online sportsbooks. Remember, odds are always subject to change.
