Bet On Formula 1 at the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix and Drivers favored to Win

Written by on April 19, 2024

You cannot argue that F1 races are still among the best spectacles in sports, but as far as being competitive, things are certainly becoming a little lopsided

You have Max Verstappen at the top of his game, and then you have the rest of the pack, all of whom seem to be pretty far off the pace. The safe bet would be to simply wager on Verstappen to win every single race, although the odds would not make you a ton of money in any given week. You could bet on other drivers to land on the podium, which is probably a better way to play at this point, and it might even make watching the races a bit more fun. Still, we have to look at the odds to win every F1 race, with the Chinese Grand Prix coming this weekend. As we always do, let’s take a look at the current F1 odds.

Max Verstappen -526

After a season for the ages in 2023, Verstappen appears to be picking up right where he left off. He has won 3 of the 4 races this season, failing to finish in the other, so it is clear that he is not about to relinquish the World Championship, which he has won in 3 straight seasons, without a fight. At this point, we are looking for races where Verstappen might be considered a little vulnerable, and perhaps the Chinese Grand Prix is one of them. This race was removed from the schedule after the 2019 season, which was before Verstappen’s dominance began. He has never won this particular race, so I would keep an eye on the practice sessions to see how he performs on a somewhat unfamiliar track.

Sergio Perez +890

You do have to say that Perez has benefitted from the move to Red Bull Racing to become the teammate to Verstappen, but it also means playing second fiddle to the champion. Perez has finished in the top 3 overall in each of the last 2 seasons and looks to be on pace to do it again in 2024. By this stage last season, Perez had won a couple of races, but he is still looking for his first win of the new season. He has been close, though, finishing 2nd in 3 of the 4 races thus far. He did miss a chance to close the gap at the top, finishing 5th in Austria, a race that Verstappen failed to finish. He finished 8th in his last visit to China, but we can expect much better this weekend.

Other Drivers to Consider

If there is going to be an upset this weekend, which driver, other than Perez, might swing it. We have Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc both sitting at odds of +1250 to win this one. Sainz Jr. was forced to withdraw in Sausi Arabia, but he has been outstanding outside of that, winning in Austria and landing on the podium in the other 2 races. I would definitely keep an eye on him this weekend. Leclerc has also been consistent through the opening 4 races of the season, finishing no worse than 4th in each of those runs. He is another one that you might consider when looking to wager on a podium finish.
