    Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

    The 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was the first-ever Formula 1 race held in Saudi Arabia. It was held on the Jeddah Street Circuit, a brand-new street circuit that is 6.175 kilometers in length and has 27 corners. The race was the penultimate round of the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship, and it attracted a lot of attention from motorsport fans around the world.

    The Jeddah Street Circuit was designed to be one of the fastest street circuits in the world, with an average speed of around 250 km/h. It featured a number of challenging corners and long straights, making it a true test of skill and bravery for the drivers. The circuit was also quite narrow, which added an extra element of danger to the race.

    The weekend got off to a dramatic start, with several drivers crashing during practice sessions. The most notable of these crashes was the one involving Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who hit the wall hard during the second practice session. Verstappen was able to walk away from the crash unharmed, but his car was badly damaged and the Red Bull team had to work hard to get it ready for qualifying.

    In qualifying, it was Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas who took pole position, setting a blistering lap time of 1:25.017. His teammate Lewis Hamilton qualified second, just 0.166 seconds behind. Verstappen, despite his earlier crash, was able to qualify in third place.

    On race day, the atmosphere was electric as fans gathered around the Jeddah Street Circuit to watch the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. As the lights went out, Bottas got a good start and led into turn one. Hamilton, however, got a better start and was able to overtake Bottas into turn two. Verstappen, meanwhile, got a poor start and dropped back to fifth place.

    As the race progressed, Hamilton was able to build a small lead over Bottas, while Verstappen began to make his way through the field. He passed Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and McLaren’s Lando Norris to move up to third place, and then set his sights on Bottas in second.

    On lap 43, Verstappen made his move on Bottas, overtaking him into turn one. Bottas tried to fight back, but Verstappen was too quick and held onto the position. From there, Verstappen set his sights on Hamilton in first place, who had built up a lead of around five seconds.

    Despite his best efforts, Verstappen was unable to catch Hamilton, who took the chequered flag to win the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Verstappen finished second, while Bottas completed the podium in third place. Norris finished in fourth place, while Leclerc completed the top five.

    The race was not without its controversies, however. On lap 48, Verstappen was deemed to have gained an advantage by cutting a corner, and he was given a five-second time penalty. This dropped him back to third place, behind Bottas. Verstappen was not happy with the decision, and he made his feelings known after the race.

    Overall, the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was a thrilling race that showcased the skill and bravery of the world’s best drivers. The Jeddah Street Circuit proved to be a challenging and exciting track, and it is sure to become a popular venue for motorsport fans around the world. With the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix already confirmed, it is clear that Formula 1 is committed to expanding its presence in the Middle East, and we can look forward to many more exciting races in the years to come.

  • Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2023: Verstappen claims pole – latest betting

    Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2023: Verstappen claims pole – latest betting

    Red Bull remain on course for a winning start to the new Formula 1 season after Max Verstappen claimed pole in Bahrain.

    Locking out the front row of the grid with teammate Sergio Perez in qualifying, the two-time defending champ was again superior.

    Are Red Bull finally poised to break a hoodoo and win a season opener for the first time in the turbo-hybrid era?

    Verstappen is still a fairly decent 4/5 price with Midnite to take the chequered flag on Sunday.

     

    Ferrari lurking

    In our pre-weekend betting, we pointed toward Ferrari as excellent value and the evidence is there.

    Though eventually forced to settle for the second row, Q1 and Q2 saw both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc clock fastest times.

    The main issue that lingers is team orders could scupper any plans for The Prancing Horse.

    Red Bull will be using the team block to thwart Scuderia, but Leclerc lurks at a hefty 10/1 with SpreadEx.

     

    Alonso, Hulkenberg impress

    Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso makes another sterling start to a campaign, swooping for P5.

    As the two-time former world champ rolls into a new era with Aston Martin, the Spaniard was fastest in practice.

    Twenty-two years on from his F1 debut in Melbourne, Alonso continues to enjoy a sparkle in his twilight years.

    We have already seen his car’s pace this weekend, so a podium finish should not be ruled out at 23/10.

    Nico Hulkenberg also made an impressive return to the paddock for Haas, progressing to Q3 and taking P10.

    The German has been on the periphery since losing his seat but a points finish at 9/4 would please his new employers.

    Both prices with 888Sport.

    Formula Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2023: Back Ferrari in season opener

    As pre-season testing disappears into the rear-view mirrors, Formula 1 finally emerges from winter hibernation this weekend for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

    In its traditional season curtain-raiser, Sakhir signals a Middle Eastern double to start the new campaign.

    With a short trip west into Saudi Arabia to come later this month, the 2023 term is set to be the longest yet.

    Twenty-three races lie ahead but who will take the early spoils this weekend?

     

    Red Bull top testing

    For Red Bull, the new term represents the chance to underline their current F1 dominance.

    After Max Verstappen retained his crown in 2022, Red Bull also claimed their first constructors title since 2013.

    A casual glance at the F1 Power Rankings post-testing would therefore suggest Red Bull could again have it all their own way.

    At the very least, the bookies see Verstappen the strong favourite to begin the new campaign in winning form.

    For a best price this weekend, Midnite are carrying the Belgian to win in Sakhir at evens.

     

    Scuderia offer value

    For Ferrari meanwhile, the optimism of last season’s early showings in the first three rounds rather dissipated.

    As Charles Leclerc picked up wins in Bahrain and at Melbourne, Scuderia would go on to top the podium just two more times.

    That, despite claiming pole in four successive GP weekends between Miami and Baku.

    Though Red Bull are expected to hit the ground running in Bahrain, there remains something of a monkey on boss Christian Horner’s back.

    In the turbo-hybrid era, Red Bull are yet to win a season opener, either here or in Australia.

    Therefore, Leclerc still carries significant value to take the chequered flag.

    Indeed, a 9/2 shot with BetUK and UniBet must surely be considered, even pole at 9/4 with 10Bet.

     

    Debutantes for points finish?

    The new season is set to feature no less than three F2 graduates.

    Nyck de Vries, Logan Sargeant and Oscar Piastri will all take their maiden F1 bow this weekend.

    A trio highly regarded, Williams and McLaren likely to struggle however and De Vries could make an impact.

    With AlphaTauri looking to have a good set up this year, the Italian manufacturer might surprise.

    Powered by the Red Bull Honda engine, the team saw 10 points finishes last term.

    De Vries and teammate Yuki Tsunoda could both grab points to open their season accounts, with the former 5/2 odds on the Betfair Exchange.

    F1 Odds: Lewis Hamilton given 56.1% chance to win Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
    F1 championship battle comes down to today’s final Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battle it out one final time this season. And as the latest F1 odds have spoken, Lewis Hamilton is the favourite to win this today, which means he’s also the favourite to win this season’s Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship.
    The two drivers have been neck to neck since the very start of the season which is reflected in the points as they’re entering today’s race at 369.5 points each  However, Verstappen is technically ahead because he owns the tiebreaker with nine Grand Prix wins to Hamilton’s eight this season.
    Because of the points the two drivers have accumulated throughout the season, and it being a tie, this means that whichever driver crosses the finish line before the other will be crowned champion. Something that the latest odds have taken into consideration – hence Hamilton is the favourite.

    Another aspect of this race that has some people buzzing prior to Sunday’s finals is that if neither driver was to finish, Verstappen would win. So, in theory, Verstappen could purposefully crash out Hamilton and himself to claim the Drivers’ Championship.

    However, F1 has already come out and said to remember that they may penalise drivers by taking points away from them, and wouldn’t hesitate to do so if a driver was to purposefully take another out.

    Earlier in the week, the F1 odds had Hamilton at 5/9 to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Now, just a few days later, those same odds have him at 10/13.

    At 5/9, Hamilton’s implied probability was 64.3% whereas now, Hamilton’s implied probability is 56.5% with his latest 10/13 odds, which suggests that following yesterday’s qualifying bookmakers have clearly started to like Verstappen’s chances.

    As for the Drivers’ Championship, Hamilton’s odds are souring too; although he remains the bookies favourite, he’s odds have gone from 1/2 to win the Championship earlier in the week to 5/9 as of this morning.

  • Formula 1 Desert Decider Betting

    Formula 1 Desert Decider Betting

    The Formula 1

    Formula One are being treated to a dream-finish to the 2021 season this weekend.

    This Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the 30th time in Formula One history that the title has been decided at the last race, with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen level on points at 369.5; it’s also the second time ever that two title contenders have been tied at the top going into the final race.

    Lewis Hamilton enters race week as the bookmaker’s favourite at 4/7 followed by Max Verstappen at 2/1 and Valtteri Bottas ay 12/1, according to BestofBets.com

    And although Verstappen owns the tiebreak with nine wins to Hamilton’s eight, Hamilton has all the momentum as he’s riding a three-race winning streak heading into the 22nd and final race of the season.

    As it stands, the odds imply that Hamilton has a 63.64% chance to win the world championship while Verstappen has a 33.33% chance to do so, however, it’s worth remembering that the Dutchman was the winner of the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP, which saw Valtteri Bottas finish second and Hamilton third. However, since then, the Yas Marina Circuit has undergone some changes, many of which people think will favour Mercedes and Hamilton. The degree of several turns have been increased whereas other changes have occurred to allow cars to carry more speed in through the corners and on the straightaways.

    One outcome that would be disappointing, but possible, is that both top drivers crash out, which the bookies have at 4/1  which would result in Verstappen being given the title due to having one more win than Hamilton. And knowing what Verstappen is like, should he be behind late in the race, there is a possibility that he tries to take out Hamilton, given the bad blood between the two; and it’s happened before. Both drivers have proven they’ll do whatever it takes to win.

    Yet, other than Verstappen’s 2020 win, Mercedes have won every Abu Dhabi GP since 2014, which is very much reflected in the odds:

    • Lewis Hamilton 4/7
    • Max Verstappen 2/1
    • Valtteri Bottas 12/1
    • Sergio Perez 28/1
    • Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris 66/1
    • Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly 100/1
    • Esteban Ocon, Fernando Alonso, Yuki Tsunoda 250/1
    • Antonio Giovinazzi, George Russell, Kimi Raikkonen, Lance Stroll, Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi, Nikita Mazepin, Sebastian Vettel 500/1

    Odds for fastest lap

    The fastest lap bonus point – awarded to the driver who sets the fastest lap of the race and finishes in the top 10 – has turned out to be decisive this season, Hamilton having clinched it on top of his win in Saudi Arabia to level the standings.

    Although the scenario seems unlikely (although stranger things have happened this season) fastest lap could come into play this weekend once again to equal the standings, if Hamilton finishes ninth and Verstappen 10th with fastest lap.

    Other than the above, neither driver can use the bonus point to level the standings: this is a winner-takes-all situation.

    Who’s favourite to take the bonus point in Abu Dhabi?

    • Lewis Hamilton 6/4
    • Max Verstappen 11/4
    • Valtteri Bottas 3/1
    • Sergio Perez 53/10
    • Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly 33/1
    • Lando Norris, Yuki Tsunoda 40/1
    • Daniel Ricciardo 50/1
    • Fernando Alonso 66/1
    • Esteban Ocon, Sebastian Vettel 100/1
    • Lance Stroll 150/1
    • Antonio Giovinazzi, George Russell, Kimi Raikkonen, Lance Stroll, Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi, Nikita Mazepin 250/1

    Odds for which team will take the most points

    Mercedes outscored Red Bull to open up a 28-point lead after the Saudi Arabian GP and now the Silver Arrows are favourites to win the constructors’ championship.

    • Mercedes 2/5
    • Red Bull 3/1
    • Ferrari, McLaren 40/1
    • AlphaTauri 66/1
    • Alpine 100/1
    • Aston Martin 250/1
    • Alfa Romeo, Haas, Williams 500/1

    The odds for a Safety Car appearing during the race

    Saudi Arabia saw two Safety Car periods and we’ve now had deployments in half the Grands Prix this season. The Safety Car has been deployed in two of the last five Abu Dhabi Grands Prix, and all the odds point towards another appearing this weekend, although they’re a lot narrower than in previous races.

    • No 6/4

  • Best of Bets Qatar GP Betting

    As Formula 1 departs the shores of the Americas after races in Austin, Mexico City and Sao Paulo, F1 moves to the Middle East for the final leg of the 2021 season, beginning with this weekend’s inaugural Qatar Grand Prix at the Losail International Circuit.

    Hot off the heels of one of Lewis Hamilton’s great race wins at Interlagos only days ago, the seven-time world champion has closed the gap on Max Verstappen to 14 points, after a stunning drive from 10th to take the chequered flag in Brazil.

    As the Briton seeks history and an eighth F1 title in the coming weeks, Hamilton has still got his work cut out to overhaul the pretender to his throne in the Dutchman, but after changing his power unit, the signs are there that both he and Mercedes might be entering the pivotal final straight with the better set-up. Indeed, the bookies believe that also with the seven-time champion 8/11 with SpreadEx and BetFred to pick up successive F1 wins on Sunday.

    Verstappen, meanwhile, looking set to further extend his championship points lead would have been chastened after seeing Hamilton pull off a stunning win in Brazil, and the Red Bull driver has now lengthened for victory in Qatar, again at 6/4 with SpreadEx and Betfred, having now shortened.

    The faster car at Interlagos, Mercedes will look to carry over their improved set-up to the Middle East. Only denied the fastest lap bonus point via Sergio Perez’ final lap run last time out, Hamilton may take some stopping to clock the weekend’s fastest time, but both he and Verstappen are priced at 2s to do so, each with BoyleSport. For Hamilton to secure pole and to win the GP meanwhile, SkyBet’s boosted 7/4 is also worth consideration.

    In the battle for third in the Constructors Championship, Ferrari took a sizeable step towards a P3 in Abu Dhabi with a top-six double in Sao Paulo, now holding a 31.5-point advantage over McLaren. If the Woking manufacturer hope to remain in the picture, a big weekend is needed in Losail and Lando Norris looks like being the biggest source of a points haul, at a favourably priced 11/2 with MansionBet to podium.

    Further down the field meanwhile, one of the most in-form drivers of late has been Pierre Gasly. Having finished P6 or better in six of the nine races since Hungary, the Frenchman came home fourth and seventh in the last two races. Second-fastest during first practice in Qatar, Gasly looks set to make another impression and to finish P6 or better here, BoyleSport’s 11/10 could be easy money.

  • BestofBets Russian GP betting

    With just eight races of the season remaining, this weekend Formula 1 rolls into the Sochi Autodrom for the Russian Grand Prix.

    As Max Verstappen clings to his five-point World Drivers’ Championship advantage over Lewis Hamilton, the friction has been starting the show between the two title rivals, whilst Red Bull themselves seem to have become further agitated by the Briton’s off-track performances.

    Returning to a circuit they have monopolised since the Russian GP returned to the F1 calendar, Mercedes can make it eight wins from eight this weekend, with Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas having won here on the last two occasions. With Verstappen set to start Sunday’s race at the back of the grid after being forced to change his car’s Honda engine again – now a fourth unit for Red Bull this term – those chances look strong. 

    Indeed, Hamilton is tipped to take the chequered flag and regain his points lead at 4/9 with all major bookies. Bottas meanwhile, after a strong weekend at Monza last time out could also be a big player in Russia and his 4/1 price with SpreadEx looks well worth examination.

    What of Verstappen’s chances from the back row of the grid? If there was one man you would pick to storm through the field on Sunday it is the Dutchman, but for him to take an eighth win of the campaign would take one of the most extraordinary drives in modern times, and at 16/1 with MansionBet. A podium finish though is not out the question, and at 11/5 with BetVictor is perhaps worth a punt.

    Turning our attentions to McLaren meanwhile, after their sensational 1-2 in Lombardy a fortnight ago, can the Woking manufacturer back it up on the banks of the Black Sea? Daniel Ricciardo’s Italian win was not completely out of the blue after a run of better form, and it would not be a surprise to see the Perth driver back in the shake-up here. 

    The same is true of Lando Norris who followed his teammate home at Monza. A market to check out therefore, is SkyBet’s Ricciardo vs Norris special, where, whilst Norris is evens to finish ahead of the Australian in Sochi, Ricciardo is 11/4 to come home ahead of his paddock mate for the second race on the bounce. The same bookmaker meanwhile, also have a boosted price of 5/2 for Norris to take a podium spot this weekend.

  • BestofBets Italian GP betting

    It’s time to visit the ‘Temple of Speed’ once more this weekend, as Round 14 of the Formula 1 season moves to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.

    Completing three successive race weekends across Europe, Max Verstappen again leads the World Drivers’ Championship albeit by just three points following wins on home turf at both Spa and Zandvoort, looking to make it a triple of wins in Italy.

    For the first race weekend in some time however, the Dutchman is not favourite to take the chequered flag in Lombardy, with Lewis Hamilton marginally the bookies’ choice for his first win in three, at 11/10 with Betfred or boosted to the same price with SkyBet. Verstappen is yet to win at Monza in comparison with Hamilton’s five victories, and perhaps, his 6/5 odds with Betfair, PaddyPower and William Hill reflect this.

    Before the race proper however, F1 Sprint qualifying returns to the weekend’s agenda, with Friday classification followed by sprint the day after to determine the grid. Having made its debut at Silverstone earlier this summer, it was Verstappen who took P1 in Britain, but again here, Hamilton is still considered the slight favourite to secure only his fourth pole of the season over his rival. Whilst Hamilton remains 6/5, Verstappen is holding firm at 6/4, both with Betfair and PaddyPower.

    With three separate segments to the weekend, eyes could also turn to the hat-trick market – that being the winning triple of wins in quali, sprint and the race itself. For Verstappen to be your pick here, SkyBet have another boost on offer at 7/1 that is well worth a ponder.

    Away from the track, the big news in the paddock has been the continuation of the F1 merry-go-round ahead of next season, with George Russell now confirmed to join Mercedes for next year. With Williams having named Alex Albon to fill the Briton’s seat, will Russell now be looking to offer hints to his new boss Toto Wolff of what to expect next term? Sprint could increase the King’s Lynn driver’s chances of making an impression this weekend and to finish in the points, Russell is 2/1 with BetVictor and Betfred.

    Pierre Gasly’s sensational maiden win in F1 for Ferrari’s sister team AlphaTauri last season remains the talk of this particular region in northern Italy, but could the Frenchman get anywhere near the podium alone this weekend? Gasly came home fourth last weekend, holding steady from Q3, and to make the top-six once more in Italy is 13/8, again with BetVictor.

    For Scuderia themselves meanwhile, it would not be an Italian GP without the tifosi and a large helping of rosso, and The Prancing Horse may yet move into a gallop. Charles Leclerc looks probably the best bet to do so having won here with Ferrari two years ago, however, Carlos Sainz Jr. finished runner-up with McLaren last term. How about a Ferrari top-six double then? SkyBet will accommodate at 11/8.

  • BestofBets – Dutch GP betting

    After the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps was washed out last Sunday, Formula 1’s second of three successive race weekends rolls into Zandvoort for the Dutch GP, with the paddock seeking better fare.

    In what will be the first race held on the North Holland circuit since 1985, Lewis Hamilton continues to cling onto his World Drivers’ Championship advantage, after Max Verstappen’s half-points classification win last time out left the Briton just three points ahead in the standings.

    Denied a race in front of his native fans last weekend, the Red Bull driver is afforded the luxury of another home GP in Round 12, this time on adopted Dutch soil. Verstappen is currently evens to win his seventh race of the season, but his odds will likely shorten.

    For Hamilton meanwhile, the Mercedes man must finish ahead of Verstappen to retain his points lead. With the last man to win at Zandvoort being Niki Lauda some 36 years back, there have however, been no less than 10 British winners of the Dutch GP in 32 outings – four times by Jim Clark, three via Jackie Stewart, two won by James Hunt and the 1958 race victor, Stirling Moss. Could Hamilton become number 11? BetVictor have the Stevenage man to take the chequered flag at 2/1.

    What of his likely new teammate for next season in George Russell? After a sensational runners-up spot at Spa was handed to him via the weather’s intervention, could the King’s Lynn driver make it a third-straight points finish for Williams in the Netherlands? Bet365 are offering 7/4 odds for it to happen, or a more fanciful top six result at 4s.

    For the third Briton in the field, the book-ended races since F1’s summer break have been difficult ones for Lando Norris. After of six P5s or better between Monte Carlo and Silverstone, McLaren’s bright star was forced to retire in Hungary, before his high-speed spin at La Source last weekend left the Bristolian counting his blessings.

    Might Lando make his presence felt this time around however? Whilst P6 or better looks likely, Norris can make the Dutch GP his fourth podium finish of the campaign and do so at 7/2 with PaddyPower, UniBet and Betfair.

  • BestofBets – Belgian GP betting

    After a chaotic and wet qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, who looks best poised to take the win on Sunday at Spa-Francorchamps?

    With Max Verstappen looking to take not only his first win in three but also his first in Belgium, the Red Bull driver claimed his sixth pole of the season on native soil in qualifying and is now firm favourite to take the chequered flag on Sunday, priced at 4/6 with SkyBet. But could surprise front-row companion George Russell yet upset the odds?

    Making a supremely timed dash at the end of an elongated Q3, the Williams man came within three tenths of a remarkable P1. The King’s Lynn driver will have few obstacles in his way at the start of the race, but Russell’s bigger problem will be his straight-line speed, which could see a sobering start at lights out and his position at the head of the field may slip away dramatically. With that said however, another wet ride is expected for race time and almost anything can happen as we have already seen this term. Whilst a Russell win at 45/1 with SBK looks a little too much of a stretch, a podium finish at 5s with William Hill looks more than attainable.

    In terms of Lewis Hamilton’s chances meanwhile, Mercedes were forced to claw their way into Q3 alone initially, so perhaps the second row of the grid does not look so bad for the Briton. Winner of the Belgian GP last season, Hamilton has won here now on four occasions, and as a man capable of scrapping in the wet at Spa before, his value of 5/2 for the win still looks equally worth a ponder or two.

    Another man to perhaps consider a punt on in the rain is Sergio Perez. The Mexican is adept in the same greasy conditions he almost mastered in Istanbul last season, and now with the Honda engine at his disposal, Perez still can challenge for the top three at least, even from P7. For the less likely of Red Bulls to claim top honours in Belgium, Unibet have you covered at 16/1, however, a double-your-money 2/1 for a podium finish with all three of SkyBet, PaddyPower and William Hill, could also be worth your money, and which should be the far safer bet.

    Finally, how about a flutter on Daniel Ricciardo? Achieving his best Q3 classification for McLaren so far, the Australian will sit next to Hamilton on the starting grid come Sunday in fourth. Whilst Lando Norris’ participation in the race remains in doubt due to his heavy shunt and spin, Ricciardo may be forced to carry the McLaren burden on his shoulders alone but will know the power his car possesses and could spring a surprise. The Perth driver stands at 4/1 with BetVictor for a top-three placement. Could he win it? The Betfair Exchange will oblige you a Ricciardo outright win at an eye-bulging 56/1 should you be inclined.
