How to Bet on Formula 1

You will find Formula 1 betting markets listed in the main menu of all major online sportsbooks.

Throughout the year the F1 World Championship markets will be on offer and as race weekends draw closer markets on F1 races will appear. Placing a bet on Formula 1 tips is reasonably straightforward, little different to football with several ‘markets within markets’.


How Formula 1 Works

The Formula 1 season, which runs from March 5 to November 26 in 2023 and consists of 23 races all of which are staged on a Sunday. If you are in the UK some races may be live at odd times such as Australia or USA.

Beforehand there are two practice sessions on the Friday, a third practice session on Saturday followed by a qualifying session later or sprint race that day. This completes a ‘Formula 1 weekend’.

The Formula 1 Drivers Championship, F1 betting’s ongoing ante-post betting market, is decided by points drivers acquire at each race. The winner receives 25 world championship points, the runner-up 18, third gets 15, fourth 12 and this continues down to tenth where a single point is awarded.

In addition to the Drivers & Constructors Championships there are Formula 1 betting opportunities on the outcome of practice sessions, qualifying sessions and a host of Formula 1 odds on race markets and stats markets such as the number of race finishers.


Formula 1 Schedule 2023

Formula 1 betting odds are available on all of the season’s races and they become available within days of the previous race being completed. Making your Formula 1 predictions long before the race can prove fruitful especially for Formula 1 betting specialists who know what circuits will play to individual teams strengths.

Formula 1 Predictions & Tips

It is going to take something special from one of the other drivers and their team to wrestle the Drivers Championship away from Lewis Hamilton.

Formula 1 Betting FAQs

chat bubble

What is the best type of F1 bet?

The markets on the race winner is rarely anything other than accurate but there is a ‘horses for courses’ concept in Formula 1 which means markets such as ‘Fastest Lap’ is often incorrectly priced-up on recent results meaning this market often features some good value F1 betting odds.

chat bubble

When is the best time to place Formula 1 bets?

Most Formula 1 tipsters who do a lot of research on the sport will tell you the best time to place your bets is on the Tuesday before race weekend when the Formula 1 betting odds are first advertised and often feature mistakes and discrepancies which can be exploited.

chat bubble

What’s the best Formula 1 betting advice?

Definitely subscribe to all drivers and Formula 1 team’s Twitter feed which often helps you get the latest F1 news and you can often act on it before online bookmakers get time to react to things - such as a car which is set to start a race with a grid penalty.

chat bubble

Should you play race markets each-way?

Following qualifying there is often an odds-on favourite in the race win market and that leads bookmakers to only offer places 1-2 as part of their each-way terms. Therefore, do play Formula 1 betting markets each-way but only at the start of a race weekend when positions 1-2-3 are paid out as winners.
