F1 Qatar Grand Prix Race Winner

It promises to be another bumper weekend of action here in Qatar, at the Losail Circuit:

Lando Norris – $3.25

Whilst he ultimately came up short, Lando Norris can take huge positives from this campaign, and he will be looking to finish 2024 as strongly as possible. The Brit has been maximising his potential in a McLaren car that is sure to only get better in 2025 and he has established himself as one of the very best drivers on the grid. He likes it here at the Losail Circuit and if Verstappen takes his eye slightly off the ball, Lando Norris could deliver here.

Max Verstappen – $4.00

Confidence looks to be back in the wheels and the mind of Max Verstappen, who has a 4^th F1 world driver’s title safely in the bag. This circuit at Qatar is a very good fit for his driving style and he will relish plenty of victory laps here. Of course, he remains the consummate professional and he will be eager to finish the season as strongly as possible but with the title wrapped up, he may take his eye off the ball ever so slightly.

George Russell – $7.00

A superb win in Las Vegas last weekend has propelled George Russell into plenty of people’s thoughts ahead of the 2025 campaign and he will be looking to keep momentum ticking over here. Conditions in Qatar should suit and he looks ready to step up as the main man for Mercedes moving forwards. He is another one who could benefit from the title already being won and he is getting plenty out of his car at the moment.

F1 Qatar Grand Prix Top Six Finish

Finishing in the top 6 here in Qatar will be hotly contested, with plenty of important points up for grabs across the grid, as the season draws to a close: –

Carlos Sainz – $1.25

Spaniard Carlos Sainz will be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season, but he has been in fine fettle throughout this campaign, and he will be looking for a good ride here in Qatar. He has been picking up race wins and continues to go well, with conditions in Qatar sure to be to his liking.

Charles Leclerc– $1.30

Form has been patchy from Charles Leclerc this season but establishing himself as the main man at Ferrari continues to look like his priority. He showed up pretty well in Las Vegas last weekend and he will be eager to put in another solid showing here in Qatar.

Lewis Hamilton – $1.60

This is the penultimate race of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes career, and he will want to put on a clinic. Moving to Ferrari will fill the column inches in 2025 but for the time being, Hamilton is continuing to chase points for Mercedes, and he should be bang in the hunt in Qatar.
