A Clear Favorite
Max Verstappen was supposed to win every single race during the F1 season, but that just hasn’t been the case. Other F1 drivers have found a way to keep pace in each race, and there have been some shocking wins along the way.
When looking at the Catalunya GP odds, Verstappen is the clear favorite to win this event at -225, and he has been driving well the last few weeks. This is an event on the F1 schedule that always brings some exciting results, and Verstappen will be looking to widen the gap in the F1 standings.
Not only does Verstappen have the best odds to win this race, but he also has odds set at +135 to have the fastest lap in Spain. That is another way to make F1 picks every single weekend, and Verstappen continues to have a car that is faster than others.
Since there is a big betting favorite this weekend, there is a chance to cash in by looking elsewhere in the odds.
Some Others to Consider
The Catalunya GP odds are really sort of all over the place after Verstappen, and that has been the case in other events as well. Lando Norris has the second best F1 odds to win the race in Spain as his odds are set at +500.
Charles Leclerc is really the only other name to consider when making an outright bet in this event as he has odds set at +750 to come away with the win. Other F1 teams just haven’t been consistent enough and that impacts the outright odds in this event.
You can get some Catalunya GP betting value if you look at the drivers that will have the fastest lap, and some can actually challenge Verstappen in that market. Lewis Hamilton actually has the second best odds at +550, while George Russell has odds set at +600.
Since this is really just a prop betting market, any of the drivers in the race can go on a big run for one lap in order to win it. Here are some other names and odds to check out:
Driver | Moneyline |
Lando Norris | +800 |
Sergio Perez | +800 |
Charles Leclerc | +900 |
Carlos Sainz | +1200 |
Oscar Piastri | +1200 |
Fernando Alonso | +2500 |
The odds really start to fall off in this market as well, but at least there are others in the mix.
Go With the Favorite
If you are looking to make a Catalunya GP prediction on the action this weekend, then there really is only one way to go. There have been some interesting F1 races throughout the season, but this is one that is going to go how it’s expected to go.
Max Verstappen appears to have figured things out again after a rough patch this season, and he will prove his worth in this race. Since Verstappen is going to win the race outright, you can also double up and bet on him to have the fastest lap as well.
Expect some fireworks and some big crashes throughout the race, but it will be Max Verstappen that comes away with the win (-225) and the fastest lap (+135).
