Oscar Piastri is now a distant +1200 third and final choice on the board.

Meanwhile, the battle is for second in the Constructors' Championship odds, with Mercedes holding the edge over Red Bull.

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. 

F1 futures odds will usually look like this:

  • Lando Norris +1200

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.
