Lewis Hamilton The One To Beat In 2021 Formula One Odds

Britain’s multiple champion F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton is 2/5 favourite with the bookies to win a record-breaking 8th Formula One Driver’s Championship.

Hamilton equaled Michael Schumacher’s seven titles in 2020, but would become the sport’s outright leader in terms of Drivers’ Championships if he could add one more to his collection – writing his name into motor sport history in the process.

Behind the wheel, Lewis Hamilton was scintillating in 2020, winning 11 of the 16 races he drove in, including a five-race winning streak that started in Germany and ending in Bahrain.

Despite speculation in a possible move to Ferrari, Hamilton is obviously happy where he is and is currently signed to drive for Mercedes for the 2021 campaign, and his team will be confident of repeating their success.

Like Hamilton, Mercedes are top of the tree in F1 betting and are expected to win the Constructors’ Championship at a best price of 2/9.

The Title Contenders

If you manage to get your hands on a free bet offer for the F1 season, then you might not rush to bet on Lewis Hamilton, and instead be looking for another drive to try to win you something from your betting bonus.

If things don’t go to plan for Lewis Hamilton, then the bookies are hoping that the Belgian-born Max Verstappen will be hot on his wheels to pick up the pieces at 5/1

Verstappen could only finish third in the overall driver standings last season, but was successful at Silverstone and in the finale at Abu Dhabi, so he’ll be hoping to start where he left off last season.

And so will be his Red Bull team. They were the top dogs between 2010 and 2013, but haven’t tasted the number one spot in the constructors’ championship since then and are 10/3 for success in 2021.

Can they turn things around in their favour this season?
