Formula 1 returns to action following the summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. But who are the favourites to get back up and running the quickest? Here are what the odds tell us…<\/p>\n

The odds for the win<\/p>\n
Championship leader Oscar Piastri<\/a> enters the Dutch Grand Prix<\/a> weekend as the favourite for success. With six wins this term, the Australian tops the win charts and has missed out on a podium only twice in 14 starts.<\/p>\n On the other side of the McLaren<\/a> garage, however, Lando Norris<\/a> was the victorious driver at Zandvoort in 2024, and is the in-form driver with three wins from the last four events to close the points gap.<\/p>\n With three previous wins at the coastal venue, home hero Max Verstappen<\/a> should not be written off. But with only two wins this season and a Red Bull<\/a> that has struggled to match McLaren’s pace on Sundays, this could be an uphill battle.<\/p>\n The odds for a podium finish<\/p>\n With the McLaren drivers each failing to feature on the podium just twice this season, the pair are heavy favourites to feature in the top three on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n Just behind Verstappen is Charles Leclerc<\/a>, who has finished third twice in the last three years at Zandvoort, and has recently found form, with podiums in Austria and Belgium.<\/p>\n George Russell<\/a> will look to go back-to-back following a top-three result last time out in Hungary, while Lewis Hamilton continues his search for a first Grand Prix podium for Ferrari<\/a>.<\/p>\n The odds for a top-six finish<\/p>\n Hamilton will be keen to return to the top six after two races outside of this bracket, most recently finishing in 12th. Before this, he had been a regular in the higher end of the points, finishing in the top six in six consecutive races from Imola to Silverstone.<\/p>\n Fernando Alonso was able to make the most of a strong weekend for Aston Martin<\/a> in Hungary to reach the top six for the first time this term, but questions remain as to whether the team can repeat this level of performance.<\/p>\n Gabriel Bortoleto<\/a> has shown consistent improvement across his rookie season, and achieved a career-best sixth place at the Hungaroring. He has also scored points in three of the last four races for Sauber<\/a>.<\/p>\n The odds for a top-10 finish<\/p>\n Nico Hulkenberg<\/a> and Isack Hadjar<\/a> have taken the chequered flag in the top 10 places on five occasions this year. While Sauber driver Hulkenberg has scored in four of the last six races, Hadjar last scored at the Spanish Grand Prix for Racing Bulls<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the other Racing Bulls entry, Liam Lawson<\/a> has found recent form, with points in Austria followed by back-to-back eighth-place finishes in Belgium and Hungary.<\/p>\n
