Lewis Hamilton odds-on to win record eighth F1 title

Latest odds ahead of the 2021 Formula 1 season

Our traders have made Lewis Hamilton the 2/5 favourite to win a record eighth F1 World Championship in the 2021 season.

Hamilton has won the title for four years running and would move beyond Michael Schumacher as the driver with the most titles if he were to triumph again in the new campaign.   

Max Verstappen (5/1), Valtteri Bottas (11/2) and Sergio Perez (12/1) are the three most likely drivers to upset Hamilton’s dominance.

“It will be Sir Lewis on the grid in 2021 and we don’t see his dominance ending any time soon. He is 2/5 to win the title once again and surpass Michael Schumacher’s record for world titles that he equalled in 2020,” said Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead.

Elsewhere, Mick Schumacher at 13/8 to seal at least three points finishes in the upcoming campaign.

The Formula 2 champion, and son of record-breaking F1 legend Michael, drives for Haas in 2021. He is odds-on to win a race before the end of 2023 at 4/5.

“Mick Schumacher taking to Formula 1 will be one of the big stories on the track this year and we think he’s got a bright future in the sport. We make him 13/8 to finish in the points three or more times this year and odds-on to win a race within the next three championships,” added Aitkenhead.
