Title chase intensifies
In the final races of the 2025 season, Max Verstappen is attempting to rewrite F1 history even further than he already has over his illustrious career. If he manages to snatch the championship, overtaking Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris after being 104 points behind the leader with nine races remaining, it could easily be described as one of the greatest feats in the sport’s history.
From 66/1 to 3/1
Two and a half months ago, the odds for Max Verstappen to win a fifth consecutive title were a staggering 66/1. Now, following his relentless comeback and the mistakes from the McLaren garage, bookmakers have drastically adjusted. Max Verstappen is currently 40 points behind the championship leader, and betting agencies are starting to sweat. Comparing different bookmakers’ offers shows that the odds for Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen have nearly evened out. Oscar Piastri remains slightly favored at 2.75, while Norris and Verstappen are both listed at 3/1. This means that a €1 bet on the four-time world champion now wins €3, compared to €66 just two and a half months ago.
Fortune favors foresight
Those who anticipated Max Verstappen’s comeback early on now stand to win a significant sum. The incredible resurgence of the Dutch superstar has reshaped expectations and betting markets alike, making the remaining races of 2025 some of the most thrilling in recent Formula 1 history, starting with the Mexico City Grand Prix.
