Max Verstappen 2/1 to make dramatic switch to Mercedes
Mercedes are reportedly ready to table an incredible £128m-per-year offer to Max Verstappen to make the three-time World Champion their new number one when Lewis Hamilton departs.
Following the resignation of legendary car designer Adrian Newey – who will depart Red Bull at the start of next year – alongside the ongoing controversy surrounding team principal Christian Horner, Verstappen could look elsewhere.
The Dutchman is 6/1 to win a World Championship with Mercedes, which would be the team’s first since 2020.
Red Bull lining up Lando Norris as replacement, becoming championship favourite
Lando Norris is the name Red Bull will look to replace Verstappen with in the event of his departure, with the English youngster priced at 5/2 to make the move across the paddock.
If Norris does succeed Verstappen, he would become the new drivers’ championship favourite at 7/2 and this is a prospect the 24-year-old probably can’t get enough of.
Lewis Hamilton 14/1 outsider to win World Championship with Ferrari
Hamilton’s move to The Prancing Horse becomes official at the start of next season but oddsmakers aren’t too keen on his chances of landing another world title with Ferrari.
Priced at 14/1, there is reason to believe Hamilton’s record-tying seventh drivers’ championship in 2020 with his final – and the eighth could be out of reach.
