Where is the value in Pre-Season F1 Betting?
Pre-season brings about a bunch of whats, ifs, and maybes! There is a lot of information the betting industry will know – like Max Verstappen’s Red Bull being faster than everyone else. However, this is also the time when there may be more value than at any time during the season.
No one truly knows the gains the rest of the teams have made in catching Red Bull. What we do know is that every car looks similar to last season’s Red Bull (except for this season’s Red Bull funnily enough). There will be whisperings that McLaren is the second fastest car. Did anyone predict the early season pace of the Aston Martin last season? No. Let’s break down where there may be value for the 2024 season.
You don’t need me to tell you that there is absolutely no value in betting on Max Verstappen to win the Driver’s Championship or Red Bull to win the Constructors Championship. However, because of their dominance, you can bet on these markets without Max or Red Bull (something normally introduced late in the season when you get more of an idea of who will win both). Leclerc can be found at 9.0 to win the Drivers Championship w/o Max. For such a talented driver who was let down by reliability/strategy issues last season, this seems like the perfect bet to start off the season with. For perspective, you can get Sergio Perez at even money for the same market. He may have finished second last time out in the standings, but he does not seem up for the fight.
Season match bets are the most interesting markets to me. There seems to be a stance from a number of bookmakers that McLaren will have a better season than Mercedes. The past decade or so will tell another story, however. Mercedes are 2.20 to finish above McLaren in the standings. Similarly, Ferrari is 2.70 to finish above McLaren. These both seem like fun bets to make, as come 3 races into the season it could swing dramatically the other way. A similar can be said concerning the driver’s season match bets. Hamilton is 2.10 to finish above Norris in the standings, and you can find Leclerc at 2.60 to finish above Norris.
Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025 has brought around several novelty bets (which you may have to wait for nearly 2 years to be settled). Here are the best of them:
Hamilton Over 2.5 race wins in a Ferrari in 2025. Odds 3.0
Hamilton Over 3.5 race wins in a Ferrari in 2025. Odds 8.0
Hamilton to score more points than Leclerc in 2025 season. Odds 1.40
Ferrari to win 2025 Constructors Championship. Odds 7.0
