2024 F1 Drivers' Championship favorites

Max Verstappen (-600)

Max Verstappen is on his first multi-race losing streak of the season, and his odds have lengthened following the Hungarian GP from as short as -1,400.

Verstappen took three of the prior five races, albeit by fairly slim margins, before this cold spell began. 

Lando Norris (+350 to +410)

Lando Norris' out-of-nowhere win in Miami saw his odds come tumbling down over 50% week-over-week from as high as +11,000, and the descent continues practically every week.

FanDuel moved from +850 to +600 over the previous weekend, and his odds have been slashed even further after McLaren swept the Top 2 in Hungary.

Oscar Piastri (+14,000 to +15,000)

McLaren's Oscar Piastri picked up his first career victory in the Hungarian GP. He's improved steadily as the season has gone on, posting Top 5s in six of his last seven races.

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.
