Bet on the United States Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton is a five-time winner of this race and the three-time defending champion in the United States. Hamilton is on a roll right now, winning four of the last five F1 races while placing second in the other. Hamilton is pulling away with the championship right now and he can really extend the lead with a win today.
Valtteri Bottas is having a strong run in his first year with Mercedes and now he can make a run at finishing second in the series behind Hamilton. He is just a handful of points behind Vettel for second and Vettel has been in a real funk as of late. Bottas has one win this year with four runner-up finishes. He has only finished outside the top 5 in two races this year. Look for Bottas to possibly steal the win if Hamilton slips up.
Max Verstappen is listed with +1100 odds, but he is on a nice hot streak. Verstappen was first in Malaysia a few weeks ago and then placed second in Japan. Now he comes to the United States, a track where he posted a top-5 finish a few years ago. Verstappen didn’t have anything to be excited about until a few weeks ago, but his recent hot streak makes him a nice dark horse consideration.
