It's not just the car though with Verstappen arguably the best driver that is on the grid and Bet365 now have him as the 1/4 favourite to win the Championship once again this year.

What the expert says...
Red Bull also clear favourites to dominate the Constructor's Championship in 2024
With Verstappen's dominance expected again next year, it also means that Red Bull are expected to win the Constructor's Championship this year too.
Verstappen will once again be joined by Sergio Perez for Red Bull and the team will be hoping to once again win the Constructors award for the third successive season.
Mercedes won the title back in 2021 despite Verstappen winning the world title with Lewis Hamilton and Valterri Bottas clinching the constructor's title in the final race.
| F1 Constructors Championship 2024 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Red Bul | 2/7 | 77.8% |
| McLaren | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Mercedes | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Ferrari | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Aston Martin | 33/1 | 4.3% |
Bookmakers also offer odds on Lewis Hamilton retiring at some point in the next 12 months
Further betting specials around Formula 1 in 2024 sees odds given around star driver Lewis Hamilton retiring from the sport where he has become a legend.
Sir Lewis's odds sit at 5/1 for him to retire from Formula 1 at some point in 2024 and his life off the track, with plenty of business ventures ongoing, may well tilt him towards retirement.
The latest odds give an implied probability of 16% that Hamilton decides to hang up his Racing helmet for the final time this year but his contract still has 2 more seasons left at Mercedes.
