2023 Qatar Grand Prix: Some of the excitement of Formula 1 racing gone out the window now that it appears as though Max Verstappen is about to embark on an era of total domination? F1 Odds and Lines | MyBookie Sportsbook

Given the interest in the sport and the number of people who still flock to wager on every race, you have to say that F1 is still a major draw. Part of that may be because we love to see athletes or teams at the height of their powers, knowing full well that there is usually a limited window where one can dominate the rest of the pack. Verstappen is there right now, and while he is the outright favorite to win every race, it’s still fun to try and find those weak spots where some other driver might come out and upset the odds. Speaking of which, the F1 odds for the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix are now available, so let’s take a look.

Max Verstappen

As always, we are putting Verstappen in a section of his own before looking at some of the other drivers who might upset the apple cart this weekend. After a poor run, at least by his lofty standards, in Singapore, there was a feeling that perhaps Verstappen was taking the foot off the gas and cruising the remainder of the season. He put that idea to rest rather quickly by going out and winning in Japan, which was his 13th victory of the season. Now, after a year’s absence, we are back in Qatar for a Grand Prix that Verstappen did not win in 2021. Before you get the idea that he might be vulnerable here, keep in mind that he did finish 2nd in his last run in Qatar. Still, maybe that door is open just a crack for the other drivers.

Other Potential Winners

The most obvious contender to Verstappen this weekend is his Red Bull Racing teammate, Sergio Perez (+1175), who has already won a couple of races this season. While Perez could potentially win this one, you do have to wonder of he is going to get in the way of Verstappen’s attempt to beat the record of wins in a single season (15). I would look at Perez as a potential podium finisher here, though.

One driver who you should definitely consider for a top 3 finish is Lando Norris (+1175). He is finishing the season strong and comes into this race on the heels of back-to-back 2nd place finishes, which means he now has 4 podium finishes in his last 7 races. He has never won in F1, but getting on the podium seems a good bet.

One driver that we have not spoken about all season long is Oscar Piastri (+1700). The young Aussie is just 22 years old and is in his first full season as an F1 driver. As you might imagine, there have been some ups and downs, but he has forced his way into the top 10 in the driver standings and is coming off a 3rd place finish in Japan last time out. If you think that he can deliver a second straight podium run, then you can probably get him at very decent F1 odds.
