F1 Qatar Grand Prix 2025 pre-qualifying favorites

Max Verstappen's bid for a fifth straight title is still a long shot, but he's making a race of it as the season approaches the wire. Verstappen is the +125 pre-qualifying favorite to win his third straight Qatar GP.

Lando Norris (+175) breathes down Verstappen's neck, while Oscar Piastri (+600) sits an isolated third. George Russell (+1200) and Kimi Antonelli (+1600) are seen as realistic win contenders as their better-than-expected seasons continue.

Disappointing Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc (+1600) and Lewis Hamilton (+3300) are the final two drivers below 300-1 in the wagering.

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.
