There are several ways to bet on Formula 1 at talkSPORT BET:
You can bet on the winner of every F1 race throughout the campaign, from Brazil to Bahrain. In the lead-up to the race, check the latest F1 odds at talkSPORT BET and back your winner, based on their current form and previous performances at the circuit.
If you can’t pick a winner, you can back any driver to finish on the podium via our each-way F1 market. If your driver doesn’t win but finishes in the top three places, you’ll receive a payout, albeit at reduced odds.
In addition to pre-race F1 markets, we offer season outrights to all F1 fans. You can bet on the person you think will win the driver’s championship at the end of the F1 season.
You can access this market at any time you like, but the earlier you pick your winner, the better your odds will be. These odds fluctuate significantly throughout the F1 season, depending on each driver’s performance during Grand Prix races.
We offer competitive odds for Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and other top drivers in this market.
The constructors’ championship runs concurrently with the drivers’ championship. Here, you’re betting on the team you think will end the season at the top of the pile.
Each constructor team has two drivers in the F1 championship. After every race, the constructor receives two sets of points, based on the finishing positions of each of its drivers.
You can bet on McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull Racing, Williams, or any other Formula 1 team in the constructors’ championship market.
