F1 Odds: Lewis Hamilton is BACK after Ferrari lightning strikes
Lewis Hamilton’s incredible comeback in the 2026 F1 season has put him back in contention for race wins, with odds dropping from 33/1 to 9/1, thanks to Ferrari’s improved performance and mastery of the new start procedure.
Hamilton’s dismal first season at Ferrari, finishing sixth in the standings, seemed like a far cry from his past glory, but recent testing has shown a remarkable turnaround for the 41-year-old driver.
Ferrari’s focus on mastering the start procedure and the reliability of their new power unit have put Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc in a strong position for the upcoming races.
The latest odds for the Drivers’ Championship and the Australian Grand Prix show Hamilton and Leclerc as top contenders, with a real possibility of leading the pack in Melbourne on March 8.
Hamilton’s last F1 victory was in 2024 at the Belgian Grand Prix, where a disqualification for his teammate Russell handed him his 105th career win, highlighting the ups and downs of Formula 1 racing.
