Fastest Lap

This is always a difficult market but this race could throw up some value with little time separating the top 4 drivers. It could be that a mid pack driver has time to fit some fresh tyres late in the race to take the fastest lap.

Norris has a 3 place penalty which could see him lose contact with the leading cars but with his pace he should pull away from the cars behind allowing him to pull in for fresh boots late so we have to take the value there.

We also want to have a crack at Perez as Red Bull will be looking for any extra points they can get late in the race.

• 100 units Norris @ $21 – (potential profit = $2,000)
• 100 units Perez @ $5 – (potential profit = $400)

Market outlay = 200 units ($100)

Top 6

There is no value on offer here but we always bank a bit of profit with this market so we’re going to back two of the more reliable drivers here.

• 200 units Norris @ $1.44 – (potential profit = $88)
• 200 units Sainz @ $1.50 – (potential profit = $100)

Market outlay = 400 units ($200)

Top 10

The bookies may have missed the mark here with Vettel paying $2 to finish top 10 despite only finishing 0.1oo off Bottas in 10th place during qualifying.

This style of track really favours confidence and experience so we can’t resist having a crack at Vettel at juicy odds

• 250 units Vettel to finish top 10 @ $2.00 – (potential profit = $250)

Market outlay = 250 units ($100)

Race Winner

Leclerc may be sitting on pole but he seems a sitting duck there with his position only coming courtesy of a double tow from Bottas and Hamilton during Q3.

Verstappen has been on fire this season and will look to take a dive inside Hamilton & Leclerc in the first lap. Don’t panic if it doesn’t come off as he will be hot on their heels.

• 250 units Verstappen @ $2.60 – (potential profit = $400)

Market outlay = 250 units ($300)

Staking Plan

• 100 units Norris fastest lap@ $21 – (potential profit = $2,000)
