Formula 1 Racing 2025 Japanese Grand Prix Betting Odds, Schedule, and Forecast
In the world of Formula 1, the spotlight is once again shining on Max Verstappen as he prepares for the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit.
Verstappen has a strong history at Suzuka, having won the Japanese Grand Prix in both 2022 and 2024. These victories were not mere fluke wins; he started from pole position in both races and set the fastest laps, demonstrating his mastery of the track [1][3].
His dominant performance trends at Suzuka and his exceptional 2023 season, where he set records with the most wins and consecutive victories in a season, make another Suzuka win in 2025 a plausible scenario [1]. With Red Bull's competitive strength and Verstappen's skill, he is the clear favourite to win and could extend his successful run at this track.
However, it's worth noting that there is no direct mention of a winless streak at Suzuka or a three-win streak needing to be broken; instead, he appears to be in strong form for a possible fourth consecutive win there [1].
Meanwhile, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are hot on Verstappen's heels. Norris, the No. 1 favourite to win the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix with odds of +150, recently won the first race of the 2025 Formula 1 season. Piastri, the second favourite with odds of +175, won the second race [2].
If either Norris or Piastri manages to win the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, it will be the first time a McLaren-Mercedes team wins in Japan in 14 years [3].
The 2025 Japanese Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The race can be watched on ESPN.
While betting odds do not favour Verstappen, a prediction is made that he could stage an upset. After all, he is the defending Formula 1 champion and has good memories from the Japanese Grand Prix [4].
Despite a challenging 2025 season for Red Bull's team and car [5], Verstappen's determination and skill could once again propel him to victory at Suzuka.

Sportsbook betting odds for the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix might have Lando Norris as the favorite with odds of +150, but Max Verstappen's impressive history at Suzuka, including his consecutive wins in 2022 and 2024, could foreshadow a exciting betting scenario with the sportsbook. In this year's Grand Prix, Verstappen, a skilled racer with memorable victories at the Suzuka Circuit, aims to extend his successful run and perhaps stage an upset as the defending Formula 1 champion.
