Max Verstappen and George Russell are the frontrunners in the 2026 Formula 1 championship odds according to bookmakers. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri complete the top four.
Sky Bet's opening board for the drivers' championship makes Verstappen the favourite at 5/2. Russell is close behind at 11/4 and Norris sits third at 7/2. Piastri is next at 6/1. These prices roughly translate to Verstappen at just under 29%, Russell around 27%, Norris 22%, and Piastri about 14%. These tight margins are fair considering the championship is entering a season that sees a major overhaul of regulations.
