Four races remain in the 2025 Formula 1 season, and unlike the constructors, the Drivers are going all the way down to the wire. Lando Norris sits in the driver’s seat after the Mexican Grand Prix, one point clear of his teammate Oscar Piastri. At the same time, four-time champion Max Verstappen is the most in-form navigator leading into the final stretch of the season. Discover the latest Futures odds on the remaining contenders in our Championship update below.
Three drivers have registered 90% of all victories this campaign, and they fill the top three spots in the standings. Lando Norris took the crown from Oscar Piastri in the last round, with the latter failing to find the podium in his previous four outings. Max Verstappen finds himself in third on the standings, but he’s the most improved driver in the last five weekends, making up 68 points on the leaders. The Dutchman found himself 104 points off the pace leading into Monza, and is now only 36 points shy of the top dog.

Lando Norris (-145)
McLaren’s Norris pulled away from the field in Mexico City for a comfortable checkered flag. That triumph marked his sixth trip inside Victory Lane and his 16th podium of the campaign. The Briton enters the break before Brazil with a 3.80 finishing average in his last five races, copping four rostrums in the process. Norris is the favorite for his maiden Drivers Championship at -145, but he’s a marked man with Verstappen gaining form and Piastri right on his tail.
Oscar Piastri (-225)
When Oscar Piastri registered his seventh win of the year in the Netherlands, many thought he had the title in the bag. Since Zandvoort, the Australian has only managed a single top-three return, slipping into second in the Championship. Piastri has proven a consistent navigator across the campaign, only falling outside of the top six once and failing to cross the line as many times. He hasn’t looked the same behind the wheel since his teammate forced him off the track in Baku, but he’s far from out of the contest.
Max Verstappen (-350)
Rewind to his home Grand Prix and most of us thought the four-time World Champion’s reign was coming to an end. However, this is Max Verstappen and he can’t be discounted until he final checkered flag. The Red Bull pilot ended round 20 with a sixth consecutive podium and has averaged 1.60 in his past five starts, bagging three trophies in the process. Next on the roster is Interlagos, where he started 17th last year and still managed to reel in the field to claim first prize.
Final Thoughts
Three drivers remain in the F1 Drivers Championship title hunt with only four rounds remaining. Lando Norris is the sensible choice to claim the title, given his current advantage, but looking at current form, Max Verstappen is a tempting pick. The Dutchman knows how to win titles, and he’s found his rhythm late in the term. He also has no pressure on him to win, considering that he’s carrying the tag of the underdog, which is dangerous for a man of his calibre. We think the “Mad Max” is well-positioned to claim a fifth title, but who is your money on?
