F1 Hungarian Grand Prix Prediction, Picks & Odds – Hungaroring 2025

Perhaps unsurprisingly, McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are drawing the shortest odds to win a race, this time being favored at the 2025 Hungarian GP. Piastri picked up his first race win here in 2024.

F1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2025 pre-qualifying favorites

Lewis Hamilton is the winningest driver in Hungarian Grand Prix history with eight victories under his belt (Michael Schumacher is closest behind him with four), but he isn't in a position to pad that lead in 2025. Hamilton hasn't won at Hungaroring since 2020, and he hasn't had a podium finish since last year's Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Instead, Oscar Piastri leads the way for McLaren. And while a lot of that is connected to a sterling run of performances in 2025 (six race wins, 11 podiums), the Hungarian GP holds a special place in Piastri's lore. This was the setting of his first career F1 win just last year. 

He'll have competition, most notably from teammate Lando Norris, who had earned consecutive wins before finishing second to Piastri in Belgium. He was also runner-up at Hungaroring last year and in 2023. 

Max Verstappen has seen some success here, too, winning back-to-back in 2022 and 2023, but, as we've established, Verstappen isn't having his strongest year, and past positive results have predicted repeats in 2025.

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.
