F1 Belgian Grand Prix Betting Preview and Picks

F1 Belgian Grand Prix Analysis

The Belgian Grand Prix is the final race before the traditional Formula 1 summer break and it’s one Max Verstappen has dominated in recent years. The Belgian GP betting guide shows Verstappen has won the last three F1 races at Spa-Francorchamps. The race will have a tough time matching the drama of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

McLaren enters the race on a high note, running 1-2 at Hungary, while Lewis Hamilton kept the Mercedes podium streak alive with a strong drive to place third. Verstappen didn’t have one of his best days and placed fifth.

Lost in all the excitement was a strong effort from Sergio Perez, who rebounded nicely from his disastrous qualifying session with a solid seventh-place finish. It wasn’t a great day for Red Bull, but could have been worse.

Verstappen is the second betting choice in the early betting. He spent much of the last race having testy exchanges with race engineer Gianpietro Lambiase, and is looking to rebound. He’ll benefit from a good qualifying session from Perez, who may have a little more confidence entering the race.

Verstappen has had a lot of success here in the past and getting him at plus money is a rarity these days. The F1 predictions call for Verstappen to continue his mastery in Belgium and win the Belgian Grand Prix.

Odds to win Belgian Grand Prix

Belgian Grand Prix Betting Analysis

The Belgian GP betting guide is expecting a strong showing from Red Bull in this race. Verstappen and Perez are both due for solid efforts. The pair ran 1-2 here in 2022 and 2023 and there is no better place for both drivers to get back on track.

The McLarens are running well, while Mercedes looks to be ahead of the Ferraris at the moment, although that could change. Hamilton is looking more like his old self and while George Russell had to settle for eighth place in Hungary, he did turn in the fastest lap of the race and can’t be discounted.

Verstappen has proven himself to the best in the business over the past few years. When you can get him at better than even odds at a track he’s won three straight times at, you have to take him. He may have trouble with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, but he does offer decent betting value at +220. Anybody who knows how to bet on F1 will tell you getting value for your wager is the key to success in the long run.

Belgian Grand Prix Betting Picks

Bet Max Verstappen +220 to win the Belgian Grand Prix. The Belgian GP betting guide notes Verstappen doesn’t need to have a great qualifying run to win the race. Although he set the fastest lap in qualifying last year, he was given a five-spot penalty. That meant he started sixth on the grid. It didn’t make any difference, as he cruised to the victory. He can repeat that effort this year.
