The 2024 Formula 1 Drivers Championship season is set to start with the Bahrain Grand Prix next month. Drivers from Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Aston Martin, etc. are set to compete in the 75th edition of the Drivers Championship. Max Verstappen is the defending champion and favorite to win the championship once again.
Lewis Hamilton signed a contract extension earlier with Mercedes until 2025, but he has a release option at the end of this year, and he is expected to sign for Ferrari next season. The 2024 Formula 1 Drivers Championship will run from March to December this year, and it consists of 24 events. A lot of well-known drivers, like Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, Sergio Perez, and Carlos Sainz, will participate in this year’s Drivers Championship.
Here are the odds for the winner of the 2024 Formula One Drivers Championship:
Max Verstappen is the favorite to win the Drivers Championship this year, according to the best Formula 1 betting sites. The Dutch driver has won three consecutive F1 Drivers Championships, and he is in great form to win this year as well. Lewis Hamilton is the seven-time Formula 1 Drivers’ Champion, and he is tied for the most wins in history. He finished third in 2023 and will try to improve on that this year.
Charles Leclerc had a good season last year, as he finished in fifth place and had six podium finishes. The McLaren driver was the runner-up in the 2022 Drivers Championship, so he will have good winning chances if he improves this year. George Russell didn’t have a good season in 2023, as he finished 8th in the Drivers Championship and had only two podium finishes. Russell will be racing alongside Hamilton with Mercedes once again, but his winning chances are really slim.
