Top Formula 1 Drivers Championship Contenders

  • [Jul 4]: It’s now five wins in a row for Verstappen after the Austrian GP, who appears destined for his third straight title. Sergio Perez is leading the pack in the race for second place, getting -200 in the “Without Max Verstappen” futures markets.
  • [Jun 19]: Max Verstappen’s fourth consecutive win this past weekend, his sixth overall, has put the Dutch driver in a commanding lead in the Drivers’ Championship standings, to the point where most sportsbooks are now offering outrights “without” Verstappen. In other words, the books are only taking bets on who will finish second.
  • [Jun 5]: Lewis Hamilton saw a little movement following his second-place finish at the Spanish GP, as his odds shortened from +8000 to +6600.
  • [May 29]: Despite both drivers remaining as long shots to win this season, Fernando Alonso (+3300) and Esteban Ocon (+225000) both saw a small drop in their average championship odds following their respective second and third-place finishes at the Monaco Grand Prix.
