F1 USA Grand Prix 2024: Lando Norris & Max Verstappen on Top – Expert Analysis, Picks

When it comes to sports in the United States, Formula 1 falls pretty far down the pecking order in terms of popularity.

My 2024 USA Grand Prix Analysis

A big part of the problem is that the majority of races on the F1 schedule take place in Europe and other parts of the world, which means that races tend to start in the early hours of the morning in the US.

This weekend represents a real opportunity for people to see what Formula 1 is all about, as the next race on the schedule is at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas.

This race is set to begin at 2 PM EST on Sunday afternoon, so let’s take a look at the current odds.

Lando Norris +101

If the standings were based on the second half of the season alone, we might well be looking at a new world champions by the time everything was said and done.

Norris has stayed consistent throughout the season, but he found himself in a hole after the reigning champion, Max Verstappen, got out to a fast start.

Lando has slowly but surely been chipping away at the lead, but time is running out on the season and Norris still has a lot of ground to make up.

All he can do is keep winning and hope that Verstappen continues to struggle.

He is coming off a win in Singapore, his 3rd of the season, but he probably needs to win all or most of the final 6 races to come.

Norris finished 2nd in this race last season, and I think he can get the win this weekend.

Max Verstappen +440

It is patently ridiculous to suggest that Max Verstappen has lost the spark and skill that made him a champion in each of the last 3 seasons.

Yes, he has had some struggles in the second half of the season, but there is more to those struggles than his driving ability.

After winning 7 of the first 10 races of the season and looking like he was going to cruise to his 3rd straight world championship, Verstappen has now gone 8 straight races without a win.

The good news is that he built up a massive lead in the first half of the season, but his lead is now down to 52 points.

He has won this race in each of the last 3 years, so expect him to be in the top 3.

Other Drivers to Consider

 

Oscar Piastri +500

This is the second season in F1 for Piastri +500, and he is having a breakout year, especially in the second half of the season.

He has been no worse than 4th in his last 6 races, winning twice during that stretch.

 

Charles Leclerc +650

This might be a chance at redemption for Leclerc +650, as he ended up getting disqualified in this race last season.

The year prior, he ended up on the podium, so he could well be in the mix again this weekend.

Once a year, though, they get to see the action up close and in person, with this weekend being that time of year. Yes, Formula 1 is making a pit stop in North America for the United States Grand Prix, which is set to be held in Austin, Texas on Sunday. While the race for the championship has been won by Max Verstappen, the other drivers will be looking to cause an upset this weekend, while the champ looks to pad his already impressive 2023 stats. The odds are now live for this race, and they are probably about what you would expect, so let’s take a look.

Max Verstappen

You need only look at the odds here to see just how heavily Verstappen is favored to win once again. As I mentioned above, this should come as no real surprise to anyone that follows the sport and knows just how dominant he has been over the last 2-3 years. This season has been particularly lopsided, with Verstappen winning 14 of the 17 races to this point in the year. The goal now is to try and find some races where he might be a little vulnerable, but this does not feel like one of them, as Verstappen has won the United States Grand Prix in each of the last 2 seasons. With that in mind, he is about as close to a lock as it gets, but of he does win, who else gets on the podium?

Other Drivers to Consider in the F1 Odds

I tend to look at current form when trying to decide who might be in the hunt for a win or a podium finish. With that in mind, you have to take a look at Lando Norris (+1150). While he hasn’t won a race this year, he has been in great form of late, landing on the podium in each of the last 3 races. I would be very tempted to put some money on him to keep that streak alive this weekend.

It took Oscar Piastri (+1275) a minute to find his feet in his first full season with Formula 1, but it is becoming clear that this young driver has a very bright future in the sport. He comes into this race on the heels of back-to-back podium finishes. Taking him to win this one is not something that I would advise, but he is definitely worth taking a look at if you want to play a driver to finish in the top 3.

We also probably need to talk about Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing teammate, Sergio Perez (+1800), although we should state that he has cooled off a little over the past few races. He does have a couple of wins to his name this season, but those victories came in the early part of the year, with his recent form being less than stellar. He did have a top 3 finish in the US a couple of years back and was 4th in 2022, so perhaps he returns to form on Sunday.
