The 19th race of the 2026 Formula One season takes place today as the drivers and teams flock to the Circuit of the Americas in Texas for the United States Grand Prix. We look at 10Bet’s odds and give you our United States Grand Prix prediction.

United States Grand Prix Odds

Kimi Antonelli is the pole sitter in Austin, edging out Red Bull pair Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar on the starting grid. Still, the championship leader is not the favourite according to 10Bet.

Race Winner: Max Verstappen (Evens) / Kimi Antonelli (11/10) / Charles Leclerc (14/1)
Podium Finish: Lewis Hamilton (5/4) / Isack Hadjar (12/5) / George Russell (4/1)

In-form Verstappen, who starts second on the grid, is the slight favourite at Evens, while Antonelli is priced at 11/10.

The Ferrari duo are outsiders in Texas, with Charles Leclerc available at Formula One odds of 14/1 and Lewis Hamilton at 16/1. Also, Lando Norris and George Russell are both 33/1.

Max Verstappen Betting Trends

Verstappen is the form man in Formula One right now, winning two and finishing second twice in the last four races.

The Dutch-Belgian driver will not win the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship this season, but he could finish in the top three. Right now, Verstappen is fourth in the standings on 221 points.

Verstappen has won the last two Grand Prix.
He has finished at least third in seven of the last eight.
The 29-year-old is just 17 points behind second-place Russell.

With just a few races to go, Verstappen will want to keep his superb momentum going and finish as high as possible in the standings. Can he record a third consecutive race victory tonight?

Kimi Antonelli Betting Trends

Antonelli can mathematically win the world title today, but the young Italian needs a lot to go in his favour. If he wins the race and Russell finishes ninth or lower and Hamilton fifth or lower, he will get his hands on the trophy in Texas.

Antonelli has built an astonishing 102-point lead at the top of the standings due to his incredible consistency. The 20-year-old has only failed to finish on the podium on three occasions this season.

Antonelli has won eight Grand Prix this year.
The Bologna-born superstar has a 102-point lead over second place.
He could win the World Championship today.

After no race wins in three, Antonelli would love to take the chequered flag in America today. Going by the latest Formula One odds, it could be a two-horse race between the Italian and Verstappen.

United States Grand Prix Prediction: Max Verstappen to Win (Evens)

Verstappen has all the momentum in the world, and the four-time world champion will fancy his chances of overtaking Antonelli to seal a third race win on the bounce.

Max may be fourth in the table, but he is the man to beat in Formula One right now. We are backing Verstappen in this one, and you can get Evens for the Red Bull ace to win the Austin race.
