Max Verstappen (+135)

Back-to-back wins in Las Vegas and Qatar are keeping Verstappen's hopes for a fifth successive world title alive. In fact, he's been on absolute fire over the past eight races.

During that span, the Red Bull driver hasn't missed the podium. Verstappen has five wins, two seconds, and two thirds in the past nine races.

Lando Norris (+225)

Norris not only won last year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but he was also the pole sitter following the completion of qualifying. It's been a struggle lately for the McLaren driver. He was disqualified in Las Vegas and wound up fourth in Qatar after starting second on the grid.

Norris has recorded five of his seven wins this season over the past 13 races.

Oscar Piastri (+325)

McLaren's other driver enjoyed his best weekend in weeks at the Qatar Grand Prix. Piastri won the Sprint and topped qualifying. He finished second in the race.

That was Piastri's first podium finish in eight races.

George Russell (+1000)

Since his win in Singapore, the season has gone into a downturn for Russell. He's earned just one podium finish over the past five races, a second in Las Vegas.

Kimi Antonelli (+1400)

After consecutive podium finishes in Sao Paulo and Las Vegas, Antonelli slipped to fifth place in Qatar. The rookie teenager is still seeking his first F1 victory.

Charles Leclerc (+2500)

A winless season for Ferrari appears imminent. Leclerc was eighth in Qatar. That was his worst finish since he ran ninth in Azerbaijan.

That's going to put the pressure on the Red Bull driver. Norris, on the other hand, knows he'll win the title if he finishes in the top seven and neither Verstappen nor Piastri wins the race. Norris enjoyed a spectacular race weekend here last year, and that will give him added confidence. Take Norris to win in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix picks.
