F1 United States Grand Prix 2025 Betting Odds
Written By Blaise Bourgeois | Last Updated at October 18, 2025
Heading into the 2025 F1 United States Grand Prix, many will wonder whether the tension in the McLaren garage will carry over to Austin, Texas, this weekend.
The McLaren garage has dominated the 2025 F1 season, clinching the team title in Singapore after winning 12 of the first 18 races in 2025. Interestingly enough, they've failed to win any of the last three. Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen won in Italy and Azerbaijan before Mercedes' George Russell took it down in Singapore.
Frustrations came to a boil in Singapore when McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri got into a tussle after Norris clipped his teammate to pass him.

The two are far and away the leaders in the 2025 drivers' standings, but are only separated by 22 points with six races to go, which suggests that tempers could potentially flare once again.
"There are repercussions and consequences for me," Norris said earlier this week.
"We analyzed the incident, and there was responsibility placed on Lando ultimately in that collision," Piastri said.
"But I'm happy there's no favoritism or bias. Every driver wants a fair chance to try and win a championship. It's more than fair to let us both keep fighting for that."
However, McLaren boss Zak Brown will not show any favoritism in the race for the overall champion. He stated that the battle with Max Verstappen, who is only 63 points behind, is "too close for comfort."
“We're one race at a time,” said Brown in Austin. “I've been asked a lot to kind of predict the future.
“Where we're sitting right now is, Max is too close for comfort. Lando is one win, Oscar one DNF away. We saw what happened in Holland, how quickly things can change, so we're just focused on this weekend, which is trying to get our drivers to finish first and second in the race.
“We'll just continue to evaluate on a race-by-race basis if we get to a situation. That's what we did last year in Baku to start helping Lando and then what ends up happening is Oscar goes and wins the race.
“So this is a pretty unpredictable sport, but where we're sitting here right now, we're going to give both drivers equal opportunity to try and win the drivers' championship.”
Max Verstappen won the pole for Saturday's sprint race by 0.071 seconds over Norris, while Piastri will begin the race in third. This makes it a complete betting toss-up for who could take it down in Austin.
Verstappen won the race in Austin three consecutive times from 2021 to 2023 and will naturally be considered the favorite for both the sprint and the grand prix.
Charles Leclerc, who won the 2024 F1 United States Grand Prix, will start the sprint race in 10th place. Qualifying for the United States Grand Prix will also take place on Saturday.
