Mexican Grand Prix Odds May Prove It’s All Over For Hamilton

Once the Circuit of the Americas was a source of points for Lewis Hamilton. This year alas it proved a rather sore point. He still scored, but it was by no means enough. Max Verstappen held off the reigning champion to take another win and move further ahead in the points. Which means the Mexican Grand Prix odds, at online betting sites in Mexico like Bet365, will not make nice reading for Hamilton or Mercedes. They’re running out of time to take this to the wire.

“I don’t know what we could have done differently.” Lewis Hamilton said after coming second in Austin. The word “Winning” comes to mind, but we’ll let it slide. Much as Lewis himself can now watch his title hopes slide merrily away. Most of us thought he’d win at COTA. He usually does. However, despite starting the weekend the fastest on track, the Mercedes couldn’t keep up with the Red Bull. Just one of the reasons you’ll find the Mexican Grand Prix odds favor Max.

The others combine the likely ambient temperature and the altitude. Interlagos is 800m up and you can always bet on the Mexican Grand Prix to be warm. So most people will bet on Red Bull enjoying the conditions more than the Mercedes. Just look what happened in the mountains of Austria this year. The teams might pretend these aren’t factors but the odds on Mercedes speak for themselves. Online sportsbook sites in Mexico simply don’t think Lewis can compete there.

Can Lewis Still Catch And Pass Max?

“I don’t believe there is a pattern of who suits which tracks.” Lied Toto Wolff, team boss of Mercedes. If he really doesn’t, he simply hasn’t been paying attention, which is hugely unlikely. So, whilst Mercedes will find the Mexican Grand prix odds disappointing they won’t think them surprising. They will also note the odds on Red Bull aren’t that much better. Just significantly so. Thus many people may think a bet on Mercedes worth the punt. It’s F1. Anything could happen.

Indeed, you can usually bet on F1 to spoil any expectations you had. Sure, you can always bet on Lewis Hamilton to drive to the max. And, indeed, bet on Max Verstappen to push the limits. As the season reaches a climax that will naturally put them on a collision course. The points difference isn’t so great that one DNF could end their dreams now. Which is one of the reasons the Mexican Grand Prix odds are perhaps the best bet on sports in Mexico available right now.
