The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit is shaping up to be another thrilling chapter in Formula 1 history. With high-speed straights and challenging corners, this race always delivers drama and excitement.
Who Are the Favourites?
Reigning champion Max Verstappen remains the bookmakers' top pick, with his Red Bull team continuing to dominate in recent seasons. However, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc are expected to push hard, especially if weather conditions play a role in this unpredictable race.
Dark Horses to Watch
McLaren's Lando Norris has shown impressive form this season and could spring a surprise at a circuit that rewards bold overtaking moves. Meanwhile, rising star Oscar Piastri might capitalize on any chaos to secure a podium finish.
Betting Insights
Current odds suggest:
- Verstappen: 4/5 favourite

For those looking at podium finishes or fastest lap markets, there may be better value outside the outright winner bets.
Weather Could Be a Factor
Spa's microclimate often produces sudden rain showers that can turn races upside down. Teams will need to be prepared with flexible strategies, potentially opening opportunities for midfield teams to shine.
