Dutch Grand Prix Betting Odds: Verstappen and Norris Lead the Pack

With the race for the Formula 1 World Championship now over, you might well wonder why you should bother watching the remaining races this season. While some will certainly tune out, there are plenty more racing fans who love the idea of watching history in the making. Heading into the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend, Max Verstappen has the championship all locked up, but he has some other things in his sight. Most notably, he will be looking to tie a record this weekend, which we will get into in a moment when we talk more about Verstappen and his chances of winning this race. For the other drivers and constructors, it’s all about finishing the season strong and building some momentum. With all of that in mind, let’s look ahead to the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix to consider in your F1 betting odds.

Max Verstappen

NASCAR Betting Pick: -400

This is an opportunity for Verstappen to have a pretty spectacular homecoming. While the championship is all but wrapped up and done, Verstappen is still chasing history. The next thing up is matching Sebastien Vettel’s record of 9 straight wins. Verstappen has won 8 in a row ahead of the Sunday race and will almost certainly relish the prospect of tying that record in his home country. As great as all of that is, his overall record this season is also unbelievable, as he has won 10 of 12 races, finishing 2nd in the other 2. It’s obvious that his chances of winning here are high, and when you combine that with the fact that he has won this race in each of the last 2 seasons suggests that a victory is all but certain.

Sergio Perez

NASCAR Betting Pick: +850

Even if Verstappen can’t win and tie the record, Perez could get the win and continue the clean sweep for Red Bull Racing this season. In the 2 races that Verstappen failed to win this season, it was his Red Bull teammate Perez, who took the checkered flag. My feeling here, though, is that Perez will be more likely to play the role of the good teammate and help Verstappen equal that record, but I could well be wrong about that. Perez has been on the podium in 3 of the last 4 races, so another podium finish seems the best bet.

Lando Norris + Lewis Hamilton

NASCAR Betting Pick: +142 / +1450

Let’s close out our preview by looking at a pair of British drivers that could potentially be battling it out for a spot on the podium. As you can see by the odds, the bookies have these two as being pretty evenly matched, so the starting positions might well play a role in how both of these drivers end up finishing the Dutch Grand Prix.

Norris saw a streak of 2 straight podium finishes comes to a close last time out in Belgium and given that he was 7th in this race last season, he is definitely a bit of a longshot. Hamilton is on a long stretch of races without a win and has been on the podium 4 times this season, although not in the last 2 races. Bit of a coin flip here, but I’d be more inclined to put Hamilton in the top 3 here.
