Spa GP odds: Leclerc chasing McLaren

Carlo Tagliagambe

The two McLarens are once again leading the way in the Spa-Francorchamps GP: Norris pulled off a late attack and outwitted teammate Oscar Piastri, taking pole for Sunday's race. Behind them is Charles Leclerc, Ferrari's only hope given Lewis Hamilton's disappointing 16th-place finish. Let's find out the odds for the Belgian GP, scheduled for Sunday, July 27th, at 2 p.m. at Spa.

The fight for victory will be an internal affair in the McLaren garage, at least judging by the odds released by the bookies, which favor poleman Lando Norris , favored between 2 and 2.15, over Oscar Piastri , who is chasing between 2.25 and 2.45. The two drivers have a lot at stake, given that they are separated in the standings by just 9 points: the Australian is currently in front, but the Spa GP could also change the hierarchy. A success from Max Verstappen is unlikely, who after his victory in the Sprint will try to surprise in the long race too, starting however from fourth place: his victory is oscillating between odds of 6 and 8. Finally, Charles Leclerc , who defended himself rather well in qualifying, snatching an unthinkable third place: his chances of victory are worth 9 on Goldbet , 15 on NetBet and 20 on Sisal .

While a real feat is needed to win, Charles Leclerc's chances of at least securing a podium finish seem much more likely, a result that would provide a breath of fresh air in the Prancing Horse's disappointing weekend so far. It won't be easy to defend third place against Verstappen, who demonstrated his ferocity in the Sprint Race at Spa, but bookies believe the Monegasque has a good chance: a top-three finish is worth 2.00 on Goldbet and Lottomatica, 2.45 on NetBet, and 3.00 on Sisal.
