2024 Chinese Grand Prix Preview: Verstappen Favored to Win, Hamilton a Longshot

The Formula One circuit is set to make a triumphant return to the Shanghai International Circuit with the highly anticipated 2024 Chinese Grand Prix. After a four-year hiatus due to the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, fans and drivers alike are eager to witness the thrilling action on the track once again.

The last time Formula One graced the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was dominating the competition with six wins in the last 12 races. However, the tides have turned since then, with Max Verstappen emerging as the new powerhouse in the sport. The three-time F1 champion heads into the 2024 Chinese GP with victories in three of the year’s four races, making him the favorite to win at -450 odds.

Despite Hamilton’s past success at the Shanghai International Circuit, he finds himself as a longshot at +5000 odds. The competition is fierce, with Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez, as well as Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, all vying for the top spot on the podium.
