The disqualification of the two McLarens in the last Las Vegas GP has reopened the race for the drivers’ title: Max is now -24

Max Verstappen world champion for drivers for the fifth year in a row? Mathematics says that everything is still possible after the two McLarens lost the points won in the Las Vegas GP due to the disqualification of both cars. The Dutchman is now just 24 points behind Norris (366 against 390) and has caught up with Piastri in the standings: let’s find out how the Formula 1 World Championship winning odds change with two races to go (plus a Sprint).

FORMULA 1 WORLD WINNING ODDS

Max won his sixth Grand Prix of the season in Las Vegas, closing the gap on Norris thanks to the disqualifications of the two McLarens, who had previously taken 18 points with Norris (second) and 12 with Piastri (fourth). The Dutchman, who has won the last four drivers’ world championships, is trying to look for the fifth with a coup that would be sensational. Suffice it to say that after the race in Holland, in front of his home crowd, Max was 104 points behind Piastri, who was leading the standings at the time.

The errors of the drivers on the track and the disqualification caused by excessive wear of the plank (the floor of the car) in Las Vegas have relaunched the Dutchman, who has two GPs (Qatar and Abu Dhabi) and a Sprint (Qatar) left to overturn a verdict that seemed to have been decided for some time. Even the bookies of the main betting sites believe in the current world champion: his success is at odds of 3.50 on Vincitu, Eurobet, William Hill, Starcasinò, Admiralbet and Snai.

THE MCLAREN PILOTS

It would be truly incredible if Norris and Piastri lost this title given that they have the strongest car, so much so that they have secured the constructors’ championship some time ago. Too many errors on the track, even an accident between them, caused panic in the team, but it is clear that Lando Norris has almost a Grand Prix advantage over Verstappen and that Piastri could help him bring home the title by following the orders that come from the garage. In Qatar and Abu Dhabi there will be two races in which the details could also become decisive in the hunt for pole: for the bookies, Norris’ title is worth 1.35 odds on Eurobet and 1.32 on Vincitu and Starcasino while Piastri’s is considered the least likely of the three candidates still in the running. The Australian can be found on the board at 15.00 on Vincitu and Starcasinò and at 16 on Eurobet.
