Place Your F1 Bets on the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

The march to a world championship is often a tough slog, with ups and downs along the way.

That is not how things have gone over the last couple of seasons in Formula 1, though, as Max Verstappen has had things wrapped up early in each of the last 2 years, which takes away some of the excitement of the sport.

My Analysis

Still, each race on the F1 schedule represents an opportunity for another driver to step up and try to knock the champ off his perch, which is what happened in the previous race, which we will get to in a moment. This weekend, the action shifts to Italy and the running of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which fans will be glad to see back on the calendar after the race was postponed last year due to heavy rains that made racing impossible. As always, we are going to take a look at the latest Formula 1 favorites, with no real surprises to be found.

Max Verstappen -410

Verstappen has been the clear favorite in each of the 6 races this season, but he has not proven to be totally unbeatable, as he has come up short in 2 of them. He was forced to retire in Australia in the 3rd race of the year, while having to settle for 2nd place in the Miami Grand Prix last time out. He will be looking to get back to winning ways, with this race perhaps being the perfect opportunity for him to do so. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been run twice, with Verstappen winning both outings. He will be out for the three-peat on Sunday and looks like the obvious pick.

Lando Norris +680

We have all being waiting for Norris to have a breakout season in Formula 1, and this might well be the year that we finally see it happen. This is not to suggest that he is set to challenge Verstappen for the championship, but you do get the sense that he is on course for his best ever finish. Norris is currently sitting in 4th in the driver standings, thanks in large part to his first ever win in Formula 1, with that one coming in Miami, where he held off Verstappen to take the checkered flag. He has had a pair of podium finishes besides that win, so it’s easy to see why he is up near the top. He finished 3rd in each of the last 2 runs in this Grand Prix, so let’s take him to finish on the podium again.

Other Drivers To Consider F1 Odds

As we said at the top of this piece, it is a familiar cast of characters who are in among the favorites for the 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. That includes Charles Leclerc (+1050), despite the fact that he has been unable to crack the top 3 both times he has taken part in this race. You also need to take a look at Sergio Perez (+1675), the teammate of Verstappen. He finished 2nd the last time we had this race, so he is another driver that you might want to consider as a potential top 3 finisher in Italy.
