UPDATE: Max Verstappen rose to favorite status before the race afternoon in Austin. He was -145 to win the race at DraftKings Sportsbook while Lewis Hamilton slipped to +140. Sergio Pérez calls at +1000, then it’s an even bigger drop for Charles Leclerc at +3000. Hamilton has won an F1-high six times at the United States Grand Prix and five times since the race moved from Indianapolis to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
Formula 1 has arrived in America! F1 will host three races in North and South America over the next month, starting with the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The race airs at 3 p.m. ET on ABC. Max Verstappen won pole position and will be joined on the front row of the starting grid by Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Pérez.
If you’re not in front of a TV, you can watch the race live online at WatchESPN, ABC.com/live, and through the ESPN app. You’ll need a cable connection to stream the race, so if you don’t have one, you can get a free trial of YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream it.
Although Verstappen edged out Hamilton for pole, Hamilton remains the favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook. Hamilton is a six-time United States Grand Prix winner and has -150 to win on Sunday. Verstappen follows at +180 then Pérez at +1600. There is room for upheaval in F1, but I think we are all ready for the two rivals to fight to the end again.
