Brazilian Grand Prix Odds, Picks & Predictions 2024: Race Moved Up to 10:30 a.m. ET

Lando Norris is getting another golden opportunity to reduce the 44-point deficit in the drivers standings, as Max Verstappen faces a five-second penalty at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo was bumped up to a 10:30 a.m. ET start with Lando Norris in pole position.

Max Verstappen, who hasn't won in the last 10 races, faces a five-second penalty after exceeding the four-engine quota. The Dutchman was also dealt a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding his seasonal engine quota at July’s Belgian Grand Prix. 

Lando Norris finished first in Friday's practice session and followed that with a sprint victory Saturday morning. The Englishman, who was the favorite prior to Friday's practice session, saw his odds shorten at our F1 betting sites.

He'll look to pour more salt Verstappen's gaping wound. The Dutchman finished the sprint in fourth place. 

Our Brazilian Grand Prix odds, picks, and predictions back Norris to win the race and heap pressure on Verstappen going into the final three events of the season.

Brazilian Grand Prix predictions 2024

Favorite: Lando Norris ⭐⭐⭐

Norris is making life uncomfortable for Verstappen, and there's certainly no love lost between arguably the world's best F1 drivers. Norris finished second at the Mexico Grand Prix after being unable to make up the necessary ground on Carlos Sainz Jr. He hasn't won a race since the fall break, finishing fourth and second. 

However, Norris has been the best driver on the circuit since late August, winning two of six races. While Charles Leclerc would dispute that assertion, he wouldn't argue the fact that Norris is one of the primary contenders each time out. 

Norris won the first practice session and followed that with a sprint victory. While the sprint win was more due to McLaren allowing Norris to pass teammate Oscar Piastri, Norris and his car have looked formidable since the weekend festivities got underway.

I liked Norris before Friday's practice session when he was trading at +160, and despite the longer odds, I'm not turning my back on him now. A winning $10 bet profits $6.67. It's only a three-star bet due to the lower potential profit margin.

Long shot: Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can't remember when Verstappen was last considered a long shot, so I'm jumping on the opportunity. If there's anyone who can overcome a five-second penalty, it's Verstappen.

He hasn't won a race since the Spanish Grand Prix on June 23, so wouldn't it be fitting for the defending Brazilian Grand Prix champion to defy the odds, overcome the penalty, and take the checkered flag? 

His odds were trading as long as +1200 before Saturday's sprint. His fourth-place sprint finish shortened his odds at our best sports betting sites. BetMGM offers the best value at +1000.  

A winning $10 bet would profit $100.

Prop: Lando Norris fastest lap ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Norris has been one of the fastest on the circuit all season, he's been even quicker in the past few months. Norris, three races removed from winning three successive fastest laps, had the third-fastest lap in Mexico City last time out and the second-fastest in Singapore on Sept. 22. 

He's been knocking on the fastest lap door since Azerbaijan in mid-September, and I like his chances of breaking through in Sao Paolo. A winning $10 bet will yield a $17 profit. 

Best odds: +170 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 37.04%
