**Formula 1 Gears Up for the 2020 Season: Favourites and Contenders Emerge**
The world of Formula 1 is buzzing with anticipation as the 2020 season approaches. The first cars were unveiled on February 11, with the final launch (Alfa Romeo Racing) set for February 19. This marks the beginning of a new era, as teams strive to outperform each other on the racetrack.
Bookmakers have already started predicting the potential winners for the season, with Tipico, bwin, and bet-at-home rating Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen equally as potential winners. However, bookmakers favor Leclerc over Sebastian Vettel, who is no longer considered Ferrari's clear number one, as Charles Leclerc finished ahead of him last season.
Sebastian Vettel's position within Ferrari has been shaken, but Max Verstappen, the Red Bull driver, has also caught the attention of the bookmakers. Verstappen finished ahead of both Ferrari drivers and behind the two Mercedes drivers last season. Alain Prost, former Formula 1 World Champion, believes Verstappen has potential but needs to work on his composure.
As for Mercedes, they have set their sights high. Their goal for the 2020 season is to catch up with Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles. The official testing begins in Barcelona on February 19, giving teams a chance to fine-tune their cars before the season's start.
Looking beyond the 2020 season, bookmakers have already released odds for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Oscar Piastri is the outright favorite to win the 2025 Drivers' Championship with odds of -163, indicating strong confidence from bookmakers that he will claim the title. Lando Norris is the closest challenger with odds of +150, making him the second favorite and a popular pick among bettors.
For specific Grand Prix events in 2025, such as the British Grand Prix and Austrian Grand Prix, Norris opened as the favorite for the 2025 British Grand Prix with +150 odds, closely followed by Oscar Piastri (+170) and Max Verstappen (+450). In the Austrian Grand Prix, Piastri was the favorite at +160 odds before qualifying, but Lando Norris improved his odds by taking pole position, moving to -270 favorites.
As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen who will emerge as the dominant force in Formula 1. The new Formula 1 season begins on March 15, 2020, with the Australian GP at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne. Stay tuned for updates and exciting racing action!
