This week in Formula 1, we’ve got the Chinese Grand Prix.
This is the second race in the Formula 1 2017 Season. If you’re following along on our F1 Betting Tips then you’re already up a lot of money due to our long shot bet from last time out at the Australian Grand Prix.
Last time out we predicted Kimi Raikkonen to get the fastest lap. Kimi was a whopping 7/1 odds to get that one but he came through in flying colours with the fastest lap which was great to see.
Hoping to keep our run going as we roll into China.
Lewis Hamilton will be looking at winning the Chinese Grand Prix for a 5th time. He has previously won it in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2015.
The other multiple winners of this race are Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg. Both Ferrari and Mercedes have won it 4 times each.
Last year saw Lewis Hamilton struggle very early on. He had a ton of issues during not just the race itself but also qualifying and that cost him a third consecutive win as he could only take 7th.
Rosberg won it in absolutely convincing fashion. He won that one with over 30 seconds to spare as Vettel stumbled over the finish line way behind him. Rosberg was already breaking out the champagne then.
Let’s get to the F1 Chinese Grand Prix Betting Tips:
F1 Chinese Grand Prix Betting Tips:
I’m going with Lewis Hamilton to win the Chinese Grand Prix.
Hamilton has a good history here as has been shown by his winning record. He’s very comfortable at the Shanghai International Circuit.
I really think he’ll be back in the groove after Australia and if the rain is coming he’ll have no issues with it. Regardless of rain or not it’s going to be bloody cold – at least compared to Australia – and from what I see, that will really suit the Mercedes much more than Australia.
I love Hamiltons odds and think there is great value on him winning the Chinese Grand Prix.
I’m also on Lance Stroll to get in the points finish.
This is a bit of a risky one due to the rain. He’s already getting a reputation as being a reckless driver thanks to his performances in both Melbourne and Barcelona.
However this track should suit his more aggressive style a lot more. He’s a great driver and the car is good. This is also a proper circuit which is a little bit more forgiving than the rest.
We’ll still see some reckless driving by Stroll I expect however it will work out to his benefit at this track.
My Long Shot Bet is for both Renaults to finish in the points at 8/1.
Last race Jolyon Palmer obviously had a shocker, but Hulkenburg was battling for the minor points. The midfield looks tightly packed and even though it’s early, I expect them to shuffle around from race to race.
So we’ll see a lot of value for bets like this at least early on. I don’t see there being a standard for the midfield and I think Renault are overpriced here.
