United States Grand Prix Track: Circuit of the Americas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a track where the right setup can make for a dominant performance for the win. The track features two DRS zones with long straights, but also some very tight corners where handling and grip need to be perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a team gets a setup where the car can thrive in both areas of the track, the gap between first and second can be massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would appear Red Bull do not have a lot of confidence coming into this week as Verstappen has talked about the struggles with the car, and despite upgrades coming this week, he does not sound like a confident driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also think we\u2019ve seen Verstappen and Red Bull just accept that Norris and McLaren are faster, and it appears the goal is to just keep it close to Norris as opposed to fighting for passes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are clearly just trying to stop the bleeding of points and hope that they can finish on the podium moving forward to not let Norris gain a lot of ground every race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States Grand Prix Podium Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oscar Piastri (-190) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s below -200, I\u2019m playing this. Piastri has more podiums than Norris does in the last five races, and with Lando\u2019s struggles at the start of the race, Piastri could be looking at another great opportunity to run near or at the front. Red Bull appears to have struggles, and when they\u2019re at their best, McLaren are just better than Mercedes and Ferrari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States Grand Prix: Drivers to Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UNDER 18.5 (-140)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a string of races where everyone was making it to the end, the last two races have seen the under hit on this prop, and after a long break, and cars bringing upgrades, and the grind of the season taking it\u2019s toll, I think it\u2019s likely we see reliability issues or a wreck between a couple cars. Only two cars need to go out of the race for this to hit. I\u2019ll take the under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States Grand Prix: Top 10 Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alex Albon +100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albon had cashed two straight Top 10 wagers at the Italian Grand Prix, and the\u00a0Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but he couldn\u2019t get to three straight Top 10\u2019s as he got pushed\u00a0off the track at the start, and then had to retire the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he had qualified 11th\u00a0and was right there near the Top 10, and the Williams car has been getting better and\u00a0better throughout the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
