Austrian Grand Prix
We’re nearing the midway point of the Formula 1 season, so expect the races to get fast and the free bets to be furious!
The biggest attraction glaring at sports betting fans is the fiery rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. The two have the fastest machines in the sport, making the Red Bull Ring the perfect stage for the two. Betting websites heavily favour Hamilton with 1.90 outright odds while Vettel is not far behind with 5.50.
Betting odds also favour Valtteri Bottas (5.00) and his spectacular form for Mercedes. He will be trying to break to the Vettel-Hamilton hegemony by winning in Austria. Kimi Raikkonen (17.00) is also a worthwhile punt since he is driving a similar car to the 2017 Drivers Championship leader.
Being overrun in their home track is the last thing Red Bull wants, so expect both Max Verstappen (17.00) and Daniel Ricciardo (19.00) to try and compete with Mercedes and Ferrari. The Dutch star is praying for rain come the weekend, and forecasts seem to be going his way. Should the track get wet by the time they’ve assembled on the starting grid, expect a six-car rumble for first.
If you’re feeling extra risky, there is a good selection of outsiders you can put your bets on. Fernando Alonso (2001.00) has high hopes for a strong race in Spielberg alongside team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne (3001.00). Sergio Perez (101.00), Esteban Ocon (151.00) and Felipe Massa (201.00) all have equal chances of cracking the top six spots and finish on the podium.
This race will dictate the teams’ fates on the next two high-speed races before the month-long break. Count on all teams to up the ante and race to get points and momentum. We should also brace ourselves for another hectic race as the top drivers compete for supremacy.
