McLaren’s Oscar Piastri has won four of the first six races this season and he holds a 16-point lead over teammate Lando Norris in the F1 standings heading into the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari. More commonly referred to as the Imola Circuit, the famed home of Ferrari hosted the Italian Grand Prix in 1980 and the San Marino Grand Prix from 1981-2006 before getting its own standalone grand prix beginning in 2020. After winning pole position in qualifying on Saturday, Piastri is the -250 favorite in the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix odds from DraftKings. Max Verstappen (+330), who finished second in qualifying, and Norris (+650), who finished fourth, are among the other F1 contenders this week going off lower than +1000. George Russell qualified in third and he’s getting +1600 F1 odds.
The lights go out at 9 a.m. ET on Sunday and the race is scheduled for 63 laps.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary Formula 1 prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results. It’s had a strong history of betting success in motorsports, correctly predicting 20 NASCAR winners since the 2021 season and its projected leaderboards have forecasted winners across multiple racing formats.
The model has been scorching hot when it comes to picking Formula 1 race events dating back to 2021 as well. It nailed 10 victories across the 2021 and 2022 seasons and then forecasted Verstappen’s rise to prominence by calling all 19 of Verstappen’s wins during the 2023 season and each of his first seven wins in 2024.
It went on to predict Norris as a +200 winner in the Netherlands, a +190 winner in Singapore and a +250 winner in Abu Dhabi later in 2024 before projecting Norris for a +185 win at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix. Then it stayed hot by calling Piastri’s wins in Bahrain (-275) and Saudi Arabia (-105), and has now called 32 of the last 50 winners dating back to 2023. Anyone who followed the model’s lead on those plays at sportsbooks and on betting apps could have seen huge returns.
Now, the model has dialed in on the 2025 Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and just released its coveted picks and leaderboard projections. You can head to SportsLine now to see the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix projected leaderboard.
Top 2025 Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix predictions
One surprise: The model is backing Alex Albon (+180) as the top finisher excluding cars from Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull Racing, McLaren and Aston Martin. Albon and Williams have found their groove this season coming off a fifth-place finish at the Miami Grand Prix two weeks ago. The 29-year-old has recorded points in five of six races so far this season and is currently eighth in the F1 standings.
He’s been the top finisher outside those five listed teams on two occasions this season and his teammate Carlos Sainz was the top finisher in another race. Williams is pretty comfortably holding down fifth in the constructors standings and their speed should play well in the Emilia Romagna GP. McClure has Albon projected to finish eighth at Imola, giving Formula 1 bettors a strong opportunity at a solid payout in this F1 prop from DraftKings.
