Top Pick to Win the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix

The odds are incredibly low, but Max Verstappen has been unbeatable for two straight seasons. If we count Australia as a blip in Max’s ques for another F1 Drivers Championship, then we realize that Verstappen offers overlay, not underlay, odds.

Sergio Perez at +700 is the underlay because in this day and age, it’s almost impossible to make up 7 seconds on an F1 driving master like Verstappen. Perez will give it his all, but we’re throwing money away if we think Sergio is the player Max. Lay the -450, chill out, and then look to see how much the bankroll grew overnight.

Second Pick to Win the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix

Sainz finished better than teammate Charles Leclerc. Still, Leclerc should be given a chance to be the one that picks things up if Verstappen falls apart, ala his race in Australia. Leclerc finished a decent third behind teammate Sainz in Japan. Leclerc is likely to stick with Ferrari while Sainz is looking for a team. The driver that the constructor plans on keeping in the fold should finish well.

Third Pick to Win the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix

Lando Norris’s fifth place finish was 30 seconds behind Verstappen. However, Lando finished less than 3 second behind Charles Leclerc.

Norris and Oscar Piastri offer the same odds. If you want to back one of the McLaren drivers, back Norris because Piastri finished eighteen seconds behind his teammate.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix

Perez lands fourth on our picks list. Sergio had a great Japanese Formula 1, finishing second behind teammate Max Verstappen. Perez has the ability to finish second or even win if Verstappen runs into trouble.

The problem, though, are the odds. At +700, Sergio is an underlay. No drivers should offer less than +1000 odds versus Max Verstappen. Fourth feels like a nice spot for Perez to cross the finish line.
