Lando Norris is the favorite in the latest F1 Belgian Grand Prix Odds. The 24-year-old Brit looks to build upon his second place finish last week at the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The McLaren's are clearly the best car on after finishing the race in first and second last weekend.
Let’s take a look at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix odds for Sunday, July 28 from the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

Odds as of July 23
Norris Favored in the F1 Belgian Grand Prix Odds
A string of strong performances have propelled McLaren's Lando Norris to the top of the F1 Belgian Grand Prix odds board. McLaren were outstanding at the Hungaroring last weekend, finishing 1-2 in qualifying and matching that performance in the race itself.
The men in black and orange have the most pace in the paddock by far, and that's come to the fore in each of the last three races. A McLaren driver has now found the podium in nine straight races, with eight of those being first or second place finishes. It's no wonder they're now the favorites to win the F1 Constructors Championship at -140.
Norris has been remarkably consistent this season, as McLaren has burst onto the scene with a much more competitive car. They've been a shining light on the F1 scene, after Verstappen's 19 wins last year, and early season dominance had cooled some interest in the sport. I can't back Norris at the short odds of +125, but you can find the British phenom to both win the F1 Belgian Grand Prix and have the fastest lap at +500, so I'll throw a half unit on that.
While Max Verstappen has won at Spa on three straight occasions, the Red Bull star was extremely troubled throughout the Hungarian Grand Prix. The RB20 has given Verstappen a plethora of issues in recent races, with him noticeably being unable to take the tighter corners of the Hungaroring at speed. While he's one of the most talented drivers in the paddock, and remains the favorite to win the F1 Drivers Championship, I'd hold off on backing Verstappen until Red Bull's engineers have ironed out their issues. With so little time between races, it's unlikely that happens this week.

As we witnessed last week, anything can happen in F1, and that's what makes the sport so exciting. If you're not backing Norris, here's another play I like to win at Spa.
George Russell to Win +800
As dominant as McLaren looked last weekend, it was actually Mercedes' George Russell who posted not only the fastest lap (1:20.305) but also the fastest average speed around the Hungaroring (196.396).
The upgrades to the Mercedes W15 have been noticeable of late, with the German engineering powering both Russell and teammate Lewis Hamilton to victory in the two races prior to Hungary. Russell also won pole position in qualifying at Silverstone, and other than his hiccup in Hungary has been coming on strong in the second half of the F1 season.
After Hamilton's victory in Great Britain, Mercedes has vowed to continue to upgrade their car heading to Spa. When team principal Toto Wolff speaks, you listen. Wolff has said that Mercedes will continue to roll out developmental updates in Spa, and I'm willing to bet those allow Russell to push for his second victory of the season.
