Summer break isn’t just over for the kids. Formula 1 returns with the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, Netherlands.
Max Verstappen looks to continue his dominance in a familiar location; the Dutch-Belgian has strong ties to the Netherlands as his father was born there.
Verstappen has won 10 of 12 races so far this season, and Red Bull as a team has captured every race as Sergio Pérez has helped the team sweep with his two wins.
Summer break is when teams can make their most pronounced changes to their vehicles. The spotlight to knock off Red Bull is on Mercedes, McLaren, and Aston Martin as the second half of the season begins.
Let’s look at the odds and the best picks for the Dutch GP.

F1 Dutch Winner Prediction
Max Verstappen (-380)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 2 units
Simply put, this is Verstappen’s race to lose. Red Bull continues to have the superior car driven by the superior driver.
If the race goes as planned, Verstappen will be the fourth driver to win the Dutch GP three times. He has won each of the last two seasons.
F1 Dutch Max Verstappen Tips
Once Verstappen reaches the (-400) or lower odds range, look for different ways to wager on the driver.
This is where shopping for the best lines at multiple sportsbooks becomes essential. I’ll show why for this week’s prop bets.
F1 Dutch Best Prop Bets
Fastest Lap: Max Verstappen (-135)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit
Fastest lap is a wager that Verstappen does not always have as a near-lock. He has won the fastest lap in seven races this season. The 25-year-old also won fastest lap in last year’s Dutch GP.
At (-135), this is excellent value for the best driver racing at home.
Top 10 Driver: Esteban Ocon (+120)
BetMGM Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit
The Frenchman has six top-10 finishes in 2023 and finished 9th in last year’s Dutch GP after starting 12th. Alpine has put together good races for their drivers, including Ocon’s 8th place finish at the Belgian GP just before the summer break (started 15th).
Ocon enters the second half of the schedule 10th in points with 35. I’ll take plus value on a driver who has finished half of the season in the points.
Race Winner & Fastest Lap: Max Verstappen (-125)

Back to Verstappen for the final prop.
I already have bets on the Dutchman to win the race and take the fastest lap, so getting 10 cents back to parlay the two on DK is fine with me.
