This season, Oscar Piastri has made headlines as he becomes the first driver to secure three wins, placing him as the third favorite in the latest betting odds at +270. His teammate, Norris, leads the odds at +145, while Verstappen is a close second at +175, having secured pole position during Saturday's qualifying session.
