F1 returns this weekend, having been on a break since Max Verstappen won the Australian Grand Prix on April 2. Check out our suggested bets for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen won the Australian Grand Prix on April 2 and leads the driver standings, with his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso in hot pursuit.
F1 is back this weekend with the 2023 season turning its attention to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Here are our suggested bets for the race.
Sergio Perez to win the Azerbaijan GP
Sergio Perez has earned himself a real street fighter reputation in F1 with four out of his five career wins so far coming at tight, narrow circuits rather than what we would consider to be more traditional racing layouts.
With such a discrepancy in price between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, the value is with the latter.
Alex Albon points finish
Alex Albon and Williams can consider themselves unfortunate that they have only one point to show for a car that is a marked improvement on its 2022 predecessor.
Two retirements in the first three races do not paint a pretty picture for Albon but, at a track which features a huge back straight, Williams' straight-line speed should have their midfield rivals concerned.
Under 16.5 finishers
The Baku City circuit is F1's closest answer to their very own version of 'Wacky Races'. There is absolutely zero room for error and the track characteristics provide the perfect playground for chaos.
Retirements and Safety Cars are very prominent in Baku so it makes sense to play the unders in the amount of finishers come Sunday afternoon.
