Fans will be able to bet customized to their favourite teams and drivers, with ways to wager around race winners, podium finishes and head-to-head driver matchups. Additional ways to wager on F1 will be announced as the season unfolds.
“We’re delighted to welcome FanDuel as our new Official Betting Operator in the United States and Canada. Those are markets that continue to increase their love and engagement with Formula 1,” said Jonny Haworth, Director of Commercial Partnerships, Formula 1.

With tens of millions of fans across the country, FanDuel is yet another avenue that eligible fans can enjoy and experience the thrill of Formula 1.”
Kimi Antonelli (ITA/Mercedes), Max Verstappen (NED/Red Bull) and George Russell (GBR/Mercedes) are leading the way with sportsbooks for most bet tickets and most bet handle for the Miami race.
Antonelli and Russell are betting favourites for the race, which runs Sunday at 4 p.m. EST. Practice and qualifying is tomorrow.

The race will be held at the Miami International Autodrome. That’s a temporary 5.4 km track with 19 corners built around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
“Being named an Official Betting Operator of Formula 1 marks an exciting step forward as we enhance our sportsbook product to deliver more interactive experiences for fans,” said Karol Corcoran, Managing Director of FanDuel Sportsbook.

FanFuel also announced that sports broadcaster Erin Andrews has been named as a Responsible Gaming Ambassador.
“Sports are, and always have been, such a huge part of my life,” she said. “I was impressed that FanDuel speaks openly about Responsible Gaming and emphasizes that gaming tools should be a part of your winning strategy.
“And of course, FanDuel gives people all the tools and awareness to enjoy sports betting safely from the start. That balance between enjoyment and responsibility in sports betting is something I genuinely believe in. It made me want to be part of the conversation.”
