Formula 1 Betting Odds and Tips - Sao Paulo Nov 2024

As Formula 1 approaches the final event in its triple-header sequence, the action shifts to Brazil for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Hosted at the legendary Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, this track has given fans unforgettable moments, and with the Sprint format returning for its penultimate run this season, fans and bettors alike can expect an exciting weekend. Will Ferrari keep their winning momentum, or will McLaren or Red Bull take over the top spot?

Understanding Formula 1 Betting Odds

In South Africa we have betting odds in decimal format, meaning for every R1 wagered, you win the amount represented by the odds. For instance, if Max Verstappen is a favourite at 1.50, a R1 bet would return R1.50. Let’s take a closer look at the Formula 1 betting odds for some key categories this weekend.

Odds for the Race Win

Ferrari’s recent successes with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have set the bar high. Yet, McLaren’s Lando Norris remains the top contender for victory in Sao Paulo, according to betting odds. Verstappen’s odds suggest a more distant chance, as he hasn’t clinched a race win since June, though his strong record in Sprint events might offer some hope.

• Lando Norris: 3.30

• Charles Leclerc: 3.50

• Carlos Sainz: 4.00

• Max Verstappen: 8.00

• Oscar Piastri: 9.00

• George Russell: 23.0

• Sergio Perez: 101

• Others: 301–601

Odds for Fastest in Sprint Qualifying

In the Sprint Qualifying session, Norris once again leads the odds to set the fastest lap, closely trailed by the Ferrari drivers, Sainz and Leclerc. Verstappen and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri also have solid odds, with Piastri aiming to recover after a difficult weekend in Mexico.

• Lando Norris: 2.85

• Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc: 5.00

• Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri: 6.00

• George Russell, Lewis Hamilton: 17.0

• Others: 101–601

Odds for a Podium Finish

For podium finishes, Norris, Leclerc, Sainz, Piastri, and Verstappen hold strong odds. Meanwhile, Mercedes’ Russell and Hamilton are outside bets, with Russell last reaching the podium in Azerbaijan. After recent setbacks, Mercedes will be hoping to end this triple-header on a high note.

• Lando Norris: 1.30

• Charles Leclerc: 1.40

• Carlos Sainz, Oscar Piastri: 2.20

• Max Verstappen: 2.55

• George Russell, Lewis Hamilton: 5.50

• Others: 21–401

Odds for a Top-Six Finish

Sergio Perez is favoured among drivers not consistently at the front to finish in the top six, with Hulkenberg and Magnussen of Haas also having reasonable chances following points finishes in Mexico.

• Lando Norris: 1.07

• Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc: 1.08

• Oscar Piastri: 1.12

• Max Verstappen: 1.30

• George Russell: 1.35

• Lewis Hamilton: 1.45

• Others: 2.75–101

Odds for Fastest Lap

Leclerc claimed the fastest lap in Mexico by pitting late for fresh tyres, and he’s among the favourites to repeat this in Brazil. Norris is slightly more favoured, as each point could be critical in his season-long contest with Verstappen.

• Lando Norris: 3.00

• Charles Leclerc: 4.30

• Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen: 6.00

• Oscar Piastri: 13.0

• George Russell, Lewis Hamilton: 15.0

• Others: 23–151
