Top drivers and best bets for the Japanese Grand Prix

Verstappen once again enters as the overwhelming favorite, according to BetMGM. Oddsmakers are apparently unfazed by his record-setting 10-race win streak getting snapped in Singapore last weekend and speculation about new technical directives being the reason for Red Bull's dip in performance at Marina Bay. Sergio Perez has the next-best odds at 11-to-1.

Best odds to winMax Verstappen -350Sergio Perez +1100Lando Norris +1400

Yahoo Sports' Nick Bromberg wrote earlier in the week on some bets he likes for Suzuka, including both McLarens to finish in the points (-250), last week's winner Carlos Sainz to finish in the top six (-225) and Lewis Hamilton to score a second straight podium (+175).

Japanese Grand Prix weather

The forecast calls for a 52% chance of rain for Friday's practice sessions but dry, partly cloudy conditions for Saturday's qualifying and Sunday's race. Should rain wipe out FP2 — when teams conduct qualifying simulations and collect long run data — we could be in for a jumbled grid. Otherwise, expect Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren to be at the top, likely in that order.
