F1 returns to the Losail International Circuit in Qatar with Verstappen the hot favourite to add yet another circuit to his win list \u2013 although Lewis Hamilton is the only driver to have won there, having claimed victory in 2021.
Verstappen could actually win the World Championship without even starting the race on Sunday – to do so, all he needs to do is finish sixth or higher in Saturday's Sprint Race, no matter what happens to Perez. There will be no slowing down for the Dutchman, however, as he seeks to keep the records tumbling this season.
Norris has been second four times in the last seven races and the odds of him going one better in Qatar are 12/1. Even better odds can be found at Ferrari, where Charles Leclerc is 23/1 and Carlos Sainz 27/1. A podium spot for either Leclerc or Sainz is 7/2 and 4/1 respectively, and those are decent odds considering Sainz finished first and third in the last three races and Leclerc was fourth behind Verstappen and the McLarens at the last race.
