Formula 1 Betting at 1xBet
In Formula 1, races are won by tenths of a second, a well-timed pit stop and a driver who keeps his nerve over the final laps. For bettors, every Grand Prix weekend means dozens of markets, from the race winner to whether the safety car will make an appearance. F1 betting at 1xBet is open all season long. Pre-race odds go up days before the lights go out, and live betting runs throughout the race. You can bet on F1 at any round of the calendar, from the season opener in Melbourne to the finale in Abu Dhabi, including the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the streets of Baku.
Below you will find the F1 bets on offer, how to place them and what to look at to make your F1 predictions sharper.
F1 Betting Markets at 1xBet
Formula one betting falls into two groups: bets on a single Grand Prix and outright bets on the season. F1 odds reflect how likely an outcome is. Favourites come in short, while drivers from the midfield carry bigger prices.
Market | What you are predicting | When it is available |
Race winner | Who takes the chequered flag first | Pre-race and live |
Podium finish | A driver finishes in the top three | Pre-race and live |
Top 6 / Top 10 | A driver finishes in the top six or in the points | Pre-race |
Pole position | Who tops qualifying | Before qualifying |
Head-to-head | Which of two drivers finishes higher | Pre-race |
Top team of the race | Whose drivers score more points | Pre-race |
Fastest lap | Who sets the quickest lap of the race | Pre-race and live |
Safety car | Whether the safety car is deployed | Pre-race |
Number of retirements | Over or under a set number of drivers failing to finish | Pre-race |
Drivers' Championship | Who wins the world title | All season |
Constructors' Championship | Which team wins the teams' title | All season |
Outright Formula 1 odds stay open until the final race, and the odds shift after every round. If you spot early which team is developing its car fastest, an outright bet can offer a better price than backing a single race.

Formula 1 in Baku: the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Formula 1 has raced in Baku since 2016. The first race ran as the European Grand Prix, and from 2017 the event has been known as the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Baku City Circuit runs right through the heart of the capital: from the flat-out blast along Neftchilar Avenue on the Caspian waterfront to the medieval walls of Icherisheher, the Old City and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That mix of a very long straight and a tight old town section makes Formula 1 Azerbaijan races so hard to call.
Formula 1 Baku 2026 takes place on 24–26 September. For the first time, the race moves to a Saturday, as 27 September is Remembrance Day in Azerbaijan. The F1 Azerbaijan weekend runs as follows: two practice sessions on Thursday, the third practice session and qualifying on Friday, and the 51-lap race on Saturday.
The Baku F1 Track in Numbers
Feature | Value |
Lap length | 6.003 km |
Laps | 51 |
Race distance | 306.049 km |
Corners | 20 |
Direction | Anti-clockwise |
Lap record | 1:43.009, Charles Leclerc (2019) |
Narrowest point | Around 7.6 m, by the Old City walls |
What Baku Means for Azerbaijan Grand Prix Betting
• The long straight. Cars with strong top speed gain places here, and there is an overtake at the end of the straight almost every lap.
• The castle section. The smallest mistake ends in the wall, so crashes and retirements are common in Baku.
• Safety cars and red flags. The safety car is a regular visitor, and 2025 qualifying was stopped by five red flags. No wonder the safety car market is one of the most popular Baku grand prix bets.
• Pole is no guarantee. Charles Leclerc took four poles in a row from 2021 to 2024 but has never won the race in Baku.
• A race for surprises. Nine races have produced seven different winners, and no driver has ever won here two years running.
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Winners
Year | Winner | Team |
2016 | Nico Rosberg | Mercedes |
2017 | Daniel Ricciardo | Red Bull |
2018 | Lewis Hamilton | Mercedes |
2019 | Valtteri Bottas | Mercedes |
2021 | Sergio Pérez | Red Bull |
2022 | Max Verstappen | Red Bull |
2023 | Sergio Pérez | Red Bull |
2024 | Oscar Piastri | McLaren |
2025 | Max Verstappen | Red Bull |
There was no race in 2020. Pérez and Verstappen, the only double winners in Baku, are both on the 2026 grid.
F1 Drivers and Teams in 2026
New technical regulations arrived in 2026, bringing new power units and active aerodynamics. The pecking order has changed noticeably, and there are now 11 F1 teams on the grid:
• Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull Racing
• Aston Martin, Williams, Alpine, Racing Bulls, Haas
• Audi, which has taken over from Sauber
• Cadillac, the newest team in the championship
The big story of the season is the title fight between Mercedes team-mates Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari), reigning champion Lando Norris (McLaren) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) are chasing podiums, while two-time Baku winner Sergio Pérez is back on the grid with Cadillac. Keep an eye on the form of the F1 drivers and on intra-team battles, as they shape the odds for the next race.
F1 Standings, Calendar and Schedule for 2026
For outright bets, your main tool is the F1 standings: the drivers' table and the constructors' table. The second is the F1 calendar 2026, with more than twenty rounds across five continents. The F1 schedule 2026 shows which tracks are left and which teams they suit.
How to use the standings and the calendar for your bets:
• Compare the points gap with the number of races left. A win is worth 25 points, which helps you judge real title chances.
• Look at the last three to five races rather than the whole season, as cars develop through the year.
• Split the remaining tracks into high-speed, street and technical circuits. Some teams are strong on the straights, others in slow corners.
F1 Predictions: What to Look For
A solid prediction for a Grand Prix rests on several factors. These are the ones that matter most:
• Qualifying. On tracks where overtaking is hard, grid position goes a long way towards deciding the result.
• Weather. Rain levels the field and rewards driver skill, which is when outsiders' odds land more often.
• Tyres and strategy. The number of stops and the choice of compounds can turn a race around.
• Reliability. Mechanical failures, especially in the first year of new rules, affect both the winner and the retirements market.
• Grid penalties. Going over the limit on power unit parts sends a driver to the back of the grid.
• Intra-team battles. Team-mates drive identical cars, so head-to-head bets come down to the form of each driver.
Live F1 Betting
A Formula 1 race lasts around an hour and a half, and the picture changes every few laps. In live betting, F1 betting odds update after pit stops, safety car periods and retirements. If rain starts mid-race or the leader is stuck on worn tyres, you can catch a good price before the market adjusts. F1 betting online during the race covers the main markets: race winner, podium finish and fastest lap.
Sports betting is for adults aged 18 and over only. Please gamble responsibly and never stake more than you can afford to lose.
