Max Verstappen and the Red Bull racing team locked up the Drivers' Championship and Constructor's Championship, respectively, for the 2023 Formula 1 season with weeks to spare, and they're odds-on favorites to win again in 2024.
Verstappen came out guns blazing with two straight wins, but suffered brake issues in the Australian Grand Prix and was forced to withdraw, finishing 19th. However, he got right back on the beam with a win in the Japanese Grand Prix to reassert his dominance over teammate Sergio Perez and the rest of the F1 field.
Let's look at the latest 2024 F1 Drivers' Championship odds and Constructor's Championship odds.

2024 F1 Drivers' Championship favorites
Max Verstappen (-1,200 to -1,600)
Sportsbooks were uncertain what to do regarding Max Verstappen after a rare defeat, a 19th-place result in Australia due to brake issues. He floated down, floated up, or remained the same week-over-week depending on where you looked.
After righting the ship in Japan, Verstappen's odds have shortened up from a consensus of -1,000 to -1,600.
Sergio Perez (+1,400 to +1,600)
Sergio Perez's odds shot up considerably from as low as +800 as he missed a quality chance at a win after his Red Bull Racing teammate retired early in Australia. His string of two runner-up results ended with a fifth-place effort Down Under.
Like Verstappen, Perez was back to normal at the Suzuka Circuit, finishing second and seeing his odds slip multiple points across the board.
Charles LeClerc (+2,500 to +3,300)
Charles LeClerc was unable to capitalize on his second-place starting position in both the Bahrain GP and Saudi Arabian GP, just missing a podium with a fourth-place result in the former before taking third in the latter.
Ferrari's No. 1 driver managed his best finish of the year in the Australian GP, second, but it still feels like a missed opportunity after Verstappen's misstep. He's gotten further away from the Top 2 after a fourth-place effort in Japan.
Carlos Sainz (+2,500 to +3,300)
Carlos Sainz went into the Australian GP just two weeks removed from appendicitis to score a dramatic victory, his first since September 17 of last year.
He entered that race as high as +6,600 to win the Drivers' Championship, but those odds have evaporated. He rose back up only slightly following a third-place effort at the Suzuka Circuit.

How to bet on F1 futures odds
The most popular way to bet Formula One futures is by simply picking the winner of the F1 World Drivers' Championship. The champion is crowned via a points system based on the final race results of each drive. While the winner is not officially given the title until the final race of the season they can secure the championship with races remaining on the schedule.
Another F1 futures bet is the World Constructors' Championship which is awarded to the constructor (the team that builds the components of the car) who accumulates the most points at the end of the season. In 63 seasons, only 11 times has the winning constructor not been on the same team as the winner of the World Drivers' Championship.
F1 futures odds will usually look like this:
- Lando Norris +1,200
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $1,200 if Norris wins the Drivers' Championship. If it's close to the end of the season or one driver is simply that dominant, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds.
- Lewis Hamilton -175
This means that you would need to bet $175 to win $100 on Hamilton winning the Drivers' Championship.
