BETTING GUIDE: Who do the odds favour as the Sprint returns in Austin?

After a short break, Formula 1 is back this weekend as the United States Grand Prix kicks off a triple header of races – and to add to the excitement, the event will also see the return of the Sprint. With Lando Norris having closed the gap to Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings last time out, do the odds favour McLaren in Austin, or could one of their rivals come out on top?

188BET’s odds are presented in decimal form: for every $1 wagered you would win the figure represented by the odds; so, if Verstappen is favourite at 1.50, you would win $1.50 for every dollar bet.

The odds for the win

After sealing his third F1 victory in dominant style last time out in Singapore, Norris is the favourite to add to his winning tally in Austin as he looks to eat into Verstappen’s 52-point championship lead with six races remaining.

While Verstappen has not stood on the top step of the podium since the Spanish Grand Prix in June, the Dutchman is still ranked as the second most likely to win this weekend. However, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri shares the same odds, the Australian having taken two victories so far this year.

• Lando Norris 2.10
• Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri 5.50
• Charles Leclerc 7.50
• Carlos Sainz, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton 17.0
• Sergio Perez 34.0
• Alex Albon, Fernando Alonso 301
• Liam Lawson, Esteban Ocon, Franco Colapinto, Kevin Magnussen, Lance Stroll, Nico Hulkenberg, Pierre Gasly, Valtteri Bottas, Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu 601
