Formula 1 action moves to the Red Bull Ring this weekend, as the Austrian Grand Prix is the ninth stop on the calendar. It has been a dominant start to the season for Red Bull and Max Verstappen, and the Dutchman will be looking to extend his championship advantage at the home track of the constructor.
Before Betting On Austrian Grand Prix
The Austrian Grand Prix will create an entertaining weekend for racing fans, as the sprint format returns on Saturday, before the main race itself is staged on Sunday. A total distance of 306.452km will be covered this weekend, with the drivers completing 71 laps.
This race returned to the F1 calendar in 2014 after being absent since 2003. It was first staged in 1963, with three drivers being tied for the most race wins. Jo Siffert and Alain Prost have both won on three occasions, while Max Verstappen could land a fourth victory at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend.
It could be challenging to oppose the Dutchman as he has won each of the last four races. He has been dominant throughout the campaign as he looks for a third straight Drivers’ Championship. His closest rival this weekend could come in the form of teammate Sergio Perez, who remains the only other driver to have won a race this term.
Aston Martin and Mercedes are getting closer to the pace required to compete, with the former finishing second for the second time in three races in Canada. Lewis Hamilton is also edging up the standings after finishing on the podium in each of the previous two races. However, both teams still have pace to find to compete with Red Bull.
Austrian Grand Prix Offshore Odds & Pick
| Driver | Odds |
|---|---|
| Max Verstappen | -300 |
| Sergio Perez | +1000 |

It looks challenging to overlook the Red Bull dominance once again this weekend. We fully expect Verstappen to extend his championship advantage, but his biggest danger could come in the form of Charles Leclerc, who found fresh pace following upgrades in Canada.
