F1 Singapore Grand Prix Odds: Max magnificent, Mercedes misery and Lewis Hamilton is BACK

Max Verstappen has replaced Mercedes as the betting favorite for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix following his victory in Malaysia. The Red Bull driver is listed as an 11/4 favorite to secure his 73rd career Grand Prix win, overtaking Mercedes championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who sits as the 9/2 second choice. Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies indicated that the Marina Bay circuit may suit their car even better than Sepang.

Mercedes driver George Russell faces an expected grid penalty that could drop him to the back of the grid, hurting his 9/1 odds. Meanwhile, Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are both priced at 6/1 following third- and fourth-place finishes in Malaysia, with McLaren's Lando Norris standing at 5/1 ahead of Saturday's crucial qualifying session.
