Hamilton is a six-time F1 world champion who is looking to add a seventh to his mantle in 2020.
The Englishman is one of the legends of auto racing and is one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport. Last season, Hamilton won 11 races, only finishing worse than third four times.
That kind of dominance does not dissipate in the offseason. Expect Hamilton to come out ready to perform. Hamilton would have much worse odds to win if it weren’t for the next driver on this list.
Max Verstappen (+210)
Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team have been the winners at this race for the last two years and will go for the trifecta this weekend.
The 22-year-old prodigy was the youngest driver to ever enter an F1 race and has shown brilliance in his four starts at this track, winning twice.
While Hamilton is looking to continue a dynasty, Verstappen is putting in the time to be the sports next big thing. While Hamilton may be the favorite, the best in terms of sportsbook payouts resides with Verstappen.
