Formula 1 will head to Austin, Texas, on Sunday for the 2022 Aramco United States Grand Prix and it will be a proverbial victory lap for Max Verstappen at Circuit of the Americas. Verstappen has already clinched the 2022 F1 Drivers World Championship after winning two weeks ago in Japan and he’s been the dominant force in the sport this season with 12 victories. However, Lewis Hamilton is a six-time US GP winner with five of those victories coming at COTA. The seven-time world champion would love for his experience to be a factor as he looks to avoid his first winless season ever in F1.
Verstappen is the defending champion at Circuit of the Americas and he’s listed as the -200 (bet $200 to win $100) favorite in the latest 2022 United States Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Hamilton is listed at 7-1, while his Mercedes teammate George Russell is listed at 14-1. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is listed at 15-2 in this week’s F1 odds.
