Betting odds for the Singapore Grand Prix – Who is set to star in F1's return to Marina Bay?

Max Verstappen is on the cusp of a second consecutive drivers’ world title, but he must win this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix for that to happen. So, what do the odds say about his chances at Marina Bay?

188BET’s odds 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

Verstappen is the favourite to secure victory this weekend having won five races in a row heading into Singapore. Title rival Charles Leclerc is second in the odds, being the last driver outside of the Dutch racer to win a race this year – at the Austrian GP.
