F1 Belgian Grand Prix 2025 pre-qualifying favorites
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are drawing the shortest odds to win the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix in the lead-up to weekend qualifying.
And Belgium could represent a first for one of them as neither has won the Belgian Grand Prix. Norris has particularly struggled, never finishing better than fifth in six attempts. Piastri came close in 2024, though, finishing as the runner-up to Lewis Hamilton.
With a win this weekend, Hamilton would match Michael Schumacher for most Belgian GP checkered flags in F1 history. The odds appear stacked against him at +1400, and he's yet to record a podium finish in 2025, his first season with Ferrari.
However, his win at Spa-Francorchamps in 2024 was his last victory and only second since 2021. Can he - or Max Verstappen, the guy who won here three straight years from 2021-23 - turn back the clock, or will McLaren continue its torrid pace?
F1 Belgian Grand Prix 2025 post-qualifying picks
Race prediction: Lando Norris to win (+110 at bet365)
The race start for Sunday mirrors the finish last time out in Britain, with Norris taking the checkered flag and Piastri finishing in second.
Norris accomplished that feat after starting in third – the first time he’s come from behind to take a win this season.
His record as a frontrunner is perfect this season, as he’s gone on to win all three times he’s won the pole.
If Norris does match Piastri in the wins column, it will be because of his ability to race in the rain at Spa-Francorchamps, with showers in Sunday's forecast.
Best bet: Max Verstappen podium finish (-175 at bet365)
It’s been McLaren’s year, and more headlines are coming from off the track at the Red Bull camp than on it, but Max Verstappen has shown his ability as a driver with what’s clearly been an inferior car.
He’s been really fast at Belgium, running the fastest lap in qualifying the previous three years (though losing the pole each time for various infractions), and taking the checkered flag three of the last four.
After a disappointing fifth in Britain after starting with the pole, I like him to bounce back and find his way on the podium Sunday.

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.
