BETTING GUIDE: Who are the favourites as F1 heads to Bahrain?
Share
Formula 1 is heading back to Sakhir for the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend, marking the second stop on a busy triple header sequence. After Max Verstappen became the season’s third different winner last time out in Japan, who will take the spoils during Round 4 of the championship? Here are what the odds tell us…
Odds are provided by F1's Official Betting Data Supplier ALT Sports Data and are presented in decimal form: for every $1 wagered you would win the figure represented by the odds; so, if Verstappen is favourite at 1.50, you would win $1.50 for every dollar bet.

The odds for the win
Lando Norris might have had to settle for second behind Verstappen at Suzuka, but the odds suggest that the Briton is the most likely to emerge victorious in Bahrain this weekend. This is a track where Norris is yet to stand on the podium – can he change that statistic in style with a win?
McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri is ranked as Norris’ closest challenger for the top prize, though like Norris, the Australian has never been on the rostrum at the Bahrain International Circuit during his two previous visits. Verstappen, meanwhile, will be hoping to repeat his 2024 triumph in Bahrain again this year.
| Driver | Odds |
|---|---|
| Lando Norris | 2.6 |
| Oscar Piastri | 2.8 |
| Max Verstappen | 4.0 |
| George Russell | 15.0 |
| Charles Leclerc | 21.0 |
| Lewis Hamilton | 21.0 |
| Kimi Antonelli | 66.0 |
| Yuki Tsunoda | 101.0 |
| Alex Albon | 201.0 |
| Isack Hadjar | 201.0 |
| Liam Lawson | 201.0 |
| Carlos Sainz | 201.0 |
| Ollie Bearman | 251.0 |
| Fernando Alonso | 251.0 |
| Esteban Ocon | 251.0 |
| Pierre Gasly | 251.0 |
| Lance Stroll | 301.0 |
| Nico Hulkenberg | 301.0 |
| Jack Doohan | 501.0 |
| Gabriel Bortoleto | 501.0 |
Can Norris take his second victory of the season in Bahrain?
The odds for a podium finish
While Norris, Piastri and Verstappen are again the favourites to score a podium finish in Bahrain, George Russell also has decent odds for a top-three result. The Mercedes driver took back-to-back P3 finishes during the opening two rounds of the campaign in Australia and China.
Behind the Briton are the Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, with both yet to stand on the rostrum in 2025, though Hamilton enjoyed a taste of victory with his win in the Shanghai Sprint.

Can Russell return to the rostrum in Bahrain?
The odds for a top-six finish
A name deemed as likely to feature in the top six – alongside those previously mentioned – is Kimi Antonelli. The rookie has impressed so far during his first three races for Mercedes – can he continue his solid run of points-scoring finishes this weekend?
Also rated as being in with a shot is Red Bull’s newly-promoted Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese driver missed out on points during his debut for the team at Suzuka and will be keen to make up for this in Sakhir.
