F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 pre-qualifying favorites

Max Verstappen is favored at +137 to make it six wins over the final nine races of the season. However, a win would not guarantee a fifth straight Drivers' Championship. Lando Norris, the second choice at +225, holds a 12-point cushion in the standings, meaning he just needs to hit the podium to clinch the 2025 title.

Oscar Piastri is technically still in the Drivers' Championship hunt but needs a lot to go right in order to take home the trophy. He sits at +333 prior to qualifying at Yas Marina Circuit.

George Russell is listed at +1000 to prevail in Abu Dhabi, while Kimi Antonelli is at +1400. The Mercedes drivers don't need to do much in order to stave off Red Bull for second in the Constructors' Championship standings behind McLaren.

It's slim pickings behind this quintet, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc (+2500) and Lewis Hamilton (+4000) playing out the string in what's been a brutal 2025 campaign. The remaining 13 drivers are 250-1 or longer.

Understanding F1 betting odds

The most popular way to bet on Formula 1 odds is by simply picking the winner of a particular race. Other popular F1 betting options include which car/constructor will win and whether or not a particular race car driver will end up on the podium with a Top-3 finish.

F1 race odds usually look like this:

  • Charles Leclerc +400

This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $400 if Leclerc wins that particular race. If one driver is especially dominant, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of that driver's odds like this:

  • Max Verstappen -120

This means that you would need to bet $120 to win $100 on Verstappen winning the race.
