The Grand Prix Contenders

Many have tipped Lando Norris to win the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. McLaren are set to have a strong season as they look to successfully defend their Constructors’ Championship crown.

Norris is the favourite in Melbourne, priced at just 2.70 in the early betting odds. The Englishman’s teammate, Oscar Piastri, is a bit further down the line at 7.00.

While many will be fascinated with how McLaren start the season, all eyes will be on seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton. After a lifetime with Mercedes, the Brit has switched to the red of Ferrari for the 2025 season.

Ferrari have a fast car and the greatest of all time behind the wheel. They could spring a few surprises this year, and Hamilton is available at 7.50 to win his maiden race with the Italian team.

The four-time world champion Max Verstappen will face stiff opposition in 2025. The Red Bull ace has dominated the field for years, but retaining the title will be tougher than ever this season. Verstappen is priced at 4.50 to win in Melbourne.

Norris to Take the Chequered Flag in Australia?

Norris could be the man to beat this season. The McLaren man pushed Verstappen close last year and has improved season after season since joining F1.

Norris is a four-time race winner, with his last success coming in the final Grand Prix of last season in Abu Dhabi. The 25-year-old is our pick to win the opening race of the 2025 campaign (2.70).

Hamilton is hoping to start his Ferrari journey in style this weekend. The brilliant Brit is certainly capable of a podium at Albert Park Circuit. Take a punt on the 40-year-old to secure a top-three finish at 2.25.
