VERDICT
Verstappen has won 4 out of the 6 races this year and will most likely win this weekend if everything goes according to plan.
Lando Norris has had 3 podium finishes in his 6 races this season, his most recent race being his maiden win. He has also finished on the podium at Imola in his last two races and looks set to beat the rest of the field, (excluding Verstappen) this weekend.
Suggested Bet: Lando Norris to finish 2nd at 2/1.
Red Bull have the car to dominate this year’s championship and with Verstappen already putting his foot down so early on in the season, they will just be relying on Perez to secure as many points as he can early on. Perez has had 4 podium finishes in his 6 races this season and looks set to repeat come this weekend. Red Bull will be looking for both cars to finish in podium spots and this is priced at 1/1 but given I fancy Verstappen to win and Norris for 2nd place it makes sense t take Perez for 3rd at 3 times the price of both Red Bulls to podium.
Suggested Bet: Sergio Perez to finish 3rd at 3/1
