F1 Odds: The Mercedes domination of Formula One is expected to continue at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, May 25th. Nico Rosberg won the first race of the season while Lewis Hamilton has won the past four. It has been a Mercedes one-two finish in all but one of the races this season. Hamilton is listed as the -140 favorite to win the Monaco Grand Prix with Nico Rosberg the second choice at +180. The rest of the drivers are part of the field with odds of 4-1. Let’s look at the race and F1 predictions.
F1 Futures
The driver’s championship is still up for grabs for the season with Hamilton only three points ahead of Rosberg but the constructors championship looks to be over. Mercedes is now a -5000 favorite to win the constructor championship. Hamilton is now a -300 favorite to win the driver’s championship with Rosberg the second choice at odds of nearly 4-1. The field is nearly 6-1.
Hamilton Looking for Perfection
Even though Lewis Hamilton has won the past four races he still thinks he can do better. He also has some motivation to win at Monaco since he feels he let a victory get away a year ago in this race. “I want to win there,” said Hamilton. “Monaco is one of those I always target before the season – that one and Silverstone are the two real ones you point out.” Hamilton wants to make it five straight with a win at Monaco. “Although we have a good advantage right now, the moment we stand still our rivals will be ready to pounce, so we have to stay on our toes at all times.”
