2025 Monaco Grand Prix: Odds & Top Contenders
The most prestigious event in motorsport returns this weekend as the Formula 1 grid heads to Monte Carlo for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix. With its unforgiving corners, historic significance, and strategic complexity, this race is a true driver’s test and a dream for betting fans.

Max Verstappen arrives in Monaco fresh off a win in Imola and back in title contention. The Dutchman’s recent form includes four podiums in five races and has already won twice in Monte Carlo (2021 and 2023). At 4.50, he represents strong value given his comfort at this street circuit, where track position is everything. With overtaking nearly impossible, securing pole will be critical, and Verstappen’s qualifying pedigree could prove decisive.

Thanks to McLaren’s improvements and consistent top-four finishes, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are top of the betting. Norris, in particular, has a strong Monaco track record, third in 2021 and fourth last year, and comes into this race with a run of 4 podiums in his last 5. The one concern? McLaren’s strength lies in high-speed tracks. Monaco’s slow, technical layout may limit their usual advantage.

Charles Leclerc’s season has been uneven, but he thrives on home soil. The Monegasque driver finally broke through with a win here in 2024, and another podium is well within reach. At 8.00, he offers solid value in front of his home fans, and pole position could be all he needs to repeat.
