Belgian Grand Prix Betting Preview: Analyzing the Favorites and Their Odds

Over the last few races, we have seen some of the fun return to Formula 1, with surprise results and some driver controversy making things a good deal more interesting.

While it still certainly looks as though Max Verstappen will once again win the World Championship, he is not having it all his way in 2024, which appears to be messing with his head just a little bit.

My 2024 Belgian Grand Prix Analysis

Last weekend in Hungary, Verstappen was involved in a collision with Hamilton, with the vast majority believing that it was his fault, but Verstappen went on a rant over his headset that led to a bit of a dressing down from his crew, with one member audibly calling him “childish.”

We are interested to see how all of that will carry over into this weekend’s race, which is the Belgian Grand Prix.

Let’s take a look at the F1 odds to see what the bookies think.

Lando Norris F1 Pick +102

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, as we do have a favorite that is not Verstappen for the first time in a long time.

It is beginning to feel as though a shift is coming in F1, with many believing that McLaren will beat Red Bull Racing to the constructor’s series this season.

McLaren is still trailing at the moment, but Lando Norris, their lead driver, is showing that he might well be a future champion.

Norris picked up his first career F1 win in Miami earlier this season and has been on a tear ever since, landing on the podium in 5 of the last 7 races since that victory.

He has not been great in Belgium, but given his car and his current form, I think we can throw that start out of the window.

I think he is a definite top 3 finisher here.

Max Verstappen F1 Pick +360

These are probably the best odds you are ever going to get on Verstappen for the foreseeable future, especially if he comes out and wins this weekend.

He is now on a run of 3 straight races without a win, finishing outside the top 3 in 2 of those races, so you have to wonder if some cracks are beginning to show with the champion.

His outburst last weekend might well be a sign that he is a little rattled right now.

He does still have a 76-point lead at the top and has won this race in each of the last 3 seasons, so it would not be a surprise to see him get back to winning ways on Belgium.

Oscar Piastri F1 Pick +380

This is only the 2nd full season in F1 for Australian driver Piastri, but he is beginning to leave his mark.

He has been on the podium 3 times this season, but it was his win last week in Hungary that truly marked his arrival.

George Russell F1 Pick +950

After a massive win in Australia, Russell has lost some ground, putting in mediocre performances in his last 2 races.

Given his form, a top 3 pick seems like a bit of a risk.

Lewis Hamilton F1 Pick +990

How about Hamilton, who appears to be hitting some good form.

Well worth a look as a top 3 finisher.

"Right now they are the strongest team in F1, so hats off to them"
