After a tripleheader out of the summer break, F1 had a few weeks off before jetting out to Singapore for the return of the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Circuit.
One of the most visually stunning races on the calendar, the Singapore GP sees the circuit run through its city streets — under the lights, with the race getting underway at 8 p.m. local time.
Those bright lights could be the stage for Max Verstappen's celebration, with the Drivers' Championship odds favorite able to secure his second straight title — and our Singapore Grand Prix picks are expecting a win for the Dutch driver.
With qualifying in the books, let's take a look at the odds to win the Singapore Grand Prix.

Singapore Grand Prix Prix favorites
Charles Leclerc (+125)
For the ninth time this season, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc will start on pole. Leclerc ended a wild Q3, in which a wet track was rapidly drying, with the fastest time — though not without a little help. With Marina Bay so downforce-heavy, Ferrari should be optimistic about its chances of a race win tomorrow.
Max Verstappen (+200)
To the surprise of absolutely everyone, Max Verstappen will start eighth tomorrow after a bizarre end to qualifying. Verstappen was forced to abandon his final lap of Q3, as his team feared he'd have insufficient fuel remaining to be tested at the end of the session. As a result, Verstappen's left with a lot of work to do on Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton (+333)
For a fair bit of Q3 on Saturday, it looked like Lewis Hamilton would finally get his first pole position of 2022. It wasn't to be, however, as a rapidly drying track worked against the seven-time champion, enabling his competitors to set quicker times after his final fast lap. Hamilton will have a second-row start, from third.

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:
- Sergio Perez +1,400
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $1,400 if Perez 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.
