Over a month since the last Formula 1 race, the sport finally returns this weekend. It should be a fun few days in scenic South Beach with the sand, the nightlife, and the Miami Grand Prix to top it all off. While this marks the first race since March 29, the multi-week layoff means that drivers and their teams should be fresh for this one, which is only the fourth event of the season.
North American viewers will surely be happy to see the schedule. The race itself takes place at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 3. Here, we’ll dive in for a look at the odds and lines leaderboard for the Miami Grand Prix courtesy of F1 betting markets DraftKings Sportsbook.
2026 Miami Grand Prix odds, field
One of the newest events in the Formula 1 rotation, the Miami Grand Prix has been held since 2022. The venue is the Miami International Autodrome, which is a permanent-style circuit measuring in at 5.412 km built around Hard Rock Stadium. Drivers will take 57 laps of the circuit, which includes 19 corners.
There are a couple of notes on changes to FIA regulations ahead of this week’s event. After Oliver Bearman’s crash at the Japanese Grand Prix back in March, the electrical power deployment limit has been dropped from 350 kilowatts to 250 kilowatts in certain areas. Such a change should help limit a repeat of that incident, so this is a safety-focused solution. Elsewhere, the super-clipping limit has been raised to the full 350 kilowatts while the harvesting limit has been reduced from eight to seven megajoules. Per the FIA, the alterations should allow for more natural driving practices in F1 without drastically changing the existing rules tweaks that were made ahead of the season.
With that said, it’s time to dive into the odds for the Miami Grand Prix. Per DraftKings Sportsbook, the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli remain favorites far ahead of the pack. They hold identical odds of +145 to win outright and -500 to finish on the podium. They took top two in the first two races of the season, with Antonelli winning the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix. Russell won the Australian GP to open the season but fell to fourth in the most recent race.
Following a second-place finish in Japan, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri sits third on the odds leaderboard at +750 to win and -125 for the podium. Following a nightmare start to the campaign for the team, he and fellow McLaren driver Lando Norris both finished top five last time out. The latter comes in at +850 to win in Miami with -110 odds for the podium.
Following the top four, the Scuderia Ferrari drivers are next up. Charles Leclerc has a pair of third-place finishes to his name thus far and holds +200 odds to finish on the podium, also sitting at +1100 to win outright. Lewis Hamilton, who secured the first podium finish of his Ferrari tenure during the second race of the year, holds +1400 odds to take first at +225 for the top three.
Of remaining drivers, only Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen holds winning odds shorter than +20000. He’s listed at +3500 to take first place with +1200 odds of a podium finish.
The remainder of the field comes in at much longer odds to win the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, holding a minimum of +3500 odds to record a podium result. It includes the following racers, with the figures next to their names indicating odds of a top-10 finish rather than a win or podium appearance:

- Oliver Bearman (-140)
- Pierre Gasly (-150)
