The Grand Prix Contenders

Lando Norris is many people’s tip to win the World Drivers’ Championship this season. The Englishman kicked off 2025 with a win Down Under and heads to Japan as the favourite.

Norris finished second behind teammate Oscar Piastri in China last time out, and the two McLaren drivers could battle for first place in Japan. Norris is available at 2.40, while Piastri is priced at 2.70.

Current world champion Max Verstappen has made a solid start to his season. The Red Bull ace finished runner-up to Norris in round one before a fourth-place finish in Shanghai. Verstappen is the third favourite at 7.00.

Ferrari have made a disappointing start to the season, but the Italian team are looking for a strong showing in Japan. Charles Leclerc is available at 11.00, while 13.00 is your price for Lewis Hamilton to come out on top.

Mercedes’ main man, George Russell, has had two podiums at the start of 2025, finishing third in Australia and China. The 27-year-old is priced at 13.00 to claim a surprise race win in Japan this weekend.

Who Will Win the Battle of McLarens?

Norris and Piastri are set to scrap for the chequered flag at Suzuka International Racing Course. The team will let the pair race if they pull away from the field, and we fancy Norris to edge out his mate.

The race for the podium in Japan will no doubt be thrilling. Ferrari will be desperate for a top-three finish, while Russell looks for a third successive rostrum.

Russell has quietly gone about his business and made a decent start to the season, and we are backing the No. 63 to finish in the top three at Suzuka.
