The constructors’ championship is also heating up with teams such as Ferrari and Mercedes who will fight to the end with Red Bull Racing and McLaren for the title.

Betting on F1

 Even if it is difficult to make predictions on F1, on the web it is possible to find plenty of useful resources to inform oneself and bet in a more educated manner. There are, in fact, many online comparison platforms that report odds and statistics on the latest races. Very often, bookmakers also provide dedicated promotions for those who want to bet on Formula One, such as interesting bonuses for new users. They also propose offers for existing customers, such as those in the list by Oddschecker, one of the most well-known comparison sites in this specific market. These promotions represent a perfect chance for experts in the field, who want to try to win some money thanks to their passion.

 There are several ways to bet on Formula One. Bettors can predict the race winner or the qualifying round victor who will start in pole position. It’s also possible to forecast head-to-head duels between drivers during the race. Additionally, predicting the Constructors’ Championship winner at this stage of the tournament can be intriguing, especially given the current close standings.

A duel until the very end in Formula One

 What’s good about this whole season, in F1, is the fact that there isn’t a clear favourite, as it was the case in the previous ones. Of course, Verstappen is still the man to beat, but Norris and his McLaren are very close. Obviously the latest win put the Dutchman on top in the drivers’ standings, with 393 points against 331 for Norris (in second place) and 307 for Charles Leclerc (third). But there are still a lot of points to be awarded and everything can change. Verstappen is clearly a superstar, but Norris can count on an historical team, rich in passion and talent. So we should be in for a sweet finish.

 Not only the drivers will fight to the very end, also the constructors are bound to do the same. McLaren leads this chart thanks to good performances by both their racers, Norris and Oscar Piastri, and the same could be written about Ferrari, a team that counts on a good 1-2 punch between Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Red Bull Racing, instead, has a driver 2 problem: Sergio Perez hasn’t been able to keep up with Verstappen, and he sits at an ugly eighth position in the drivers’ standings. Nobody can win the constructors’ championship counting only on one driver, the only way would be to dominate each and every race, but this year, Red Bull Racing didn’t do that as they were used to.

 What about the other drivers?

 Can we expect surprises from other teams and drivers in the remaining Grand Prix races? Mercedes has shown promising performances during some weekends, but their cars lack the speed to compete with the leading teams. Lewis Hamilton recently confessed he’s driving the worst car ever, which is quite telling.
