The odds for the win

Championship leader Oscar Piastri is tipped as favourite to continue his winning streak, having strengthened his points tally in Miami with his third consecutive victory of the season. The Australian has only raced at Imola once before in his F1 career – but team mate Lando Norris has had decent performances here in the past, notching up three podiums at the track.

While the McLaren pair are deemed most likely to triumph this weekend, Max Verstappen looks to be their closest competitor according to the odds. Red Bull’s car has not been on the level of the papaya squad’s, but Verstappen has continued to deliver some impressive performances.

The odds for a podium finish

Alongside those aforementioned names, George Russell is seen as a likely contender for a spot on the podium. The Mercedes driver has already stood on the rostrum on four occasions in 2025, though has never finished within the top three at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Just behind him in the odds is team mate Kimi Antonelli. With this being the first time that the teenager has raced in front of his home crowd, a debut F1 podium would certainly be a popular result amongst the fans.

BAHRAIN, BAHRAIN - APRIL 12: Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Italy and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team and

Russell and Antonelli are both in with a chance of scoring a podium at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix

The odds for a top-six finish

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc both feature amongst the names tipped to claim a top-six result at Imola. The Ferrari drivers missed out on this in Miami – with Leclerc leading Hamilton in seventh and eighth respectively – so both will be looking for a better weekend this time around.

Yuki Tsunoda is behind them in the odds, having yet to cross the line within the top six since joining Red Bull. His strongest result in his four weekends so far for the Milton Keynes-based squad was a P9 in Bahrain.

The odds for a top-10 finish

Amongst the favourites in this category is Carlos Sainz, with the Spaniard achieving back-to-back top-10 finishes in Saudi Arabia and Miami as he continues to adapt to the Williams. Team mate Alex Albon is also hotly tipped, having only missed out on points once so far this season.

Just behind them in the odds is Pierre Gasly, who will be hoping to boost Alpine’s points tally on a weekend where he welcomes Franco Colapinto as his new team mate for the next five rounds, the Argentinian stepping in to the seat previously occupied by Jack Doohan.

The odds for who will be fastest in Qualifying

While Verstappen took pole position during the last two rounds – and has taken half of all of the poles so far in 2025 – Piastri is ranked as the favourite to claim P1 on the grid at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Norris is not far behind his team mate in the odds, with McLaren having seen one of their drivers reach the top two during every Qualifying session of the campaign to date.

Red Bull are second in the odds, while the Silver Arrows and Ferrari trail them in third and fourth respectively.
