F1 Bahrain Preview: Our Expert Tips & Staking Plan

The first race of the season is here and the Red Bulls have shown they are set to challenge Mercedes this season with a solid testing backed up with a pole position in qualifying.

Race 1 is always a little unpredictable with teams not wanting to give away too much during testing but we’re still confident we can find some winning bets.

Markets To Follow in Bahrain

  • Fastest Lap
  • Multi

Fastest Lap

The fastest lap market could offer us the most value this year with Ferrari, Mclaren & Alpha Tauri showing they can match the pace with the top teams over a single lap.

With the Red Bulls & Mercedes looking like they’ll be fighting it out like never before we’re looking for one of the second tier teams to visit the pits to put the new tyres on and chase the fastest lap.

  • 10 units Tsunoda @ $34 – (potential profit = $330)
  • 20 units Gasly @ $17 – (potential profit = $320)
  • 10 units Ricciardo @ $17 – (potential profit = $160)
  • 10 units Norris @ $17 – (potential profit = $160)
  • 50 units Perez @ $10 – (potential profit = $490)

Top 6

Always a tough market for value with bookies giving less than $2 about 8 cars finishing in the top 6 but we believed they’ve missed the mark with Leclerc sitting at $1.83 when he will be starting from 4th position.

We also want to have a play on Ricciardo at $1.80 as he has been quick all week and will start on the mediums allowing him to run long when Leclerc pits on his soft tyres.

  • 100 units Leclerc @ $1.83 – (potential profit = $83)
  • 100 units Ricciardo @ $1.80 – (potential profit = $80)
Market outlay = 200 units ($200)


Race Winner

Red Bull finished -0.387 seconds in front of Mercedes in Q3 which is very impressive and should see them take this race with ease barring car trouble.

It could be a big year for the Red Bull team.

  • 150 units Verstappen @ $1.60 – (potential profit = $90)
Market outlay = 150 units ($100)

Multi Bets

We love an exotic bet to create some interest at big odds so we’re going to have a little go at a market we believe is way over the odds.

Mazepin is in his rookie season and it showed in practice & qualifying with multiple spins & if you add that to the car trouble Haas has had in the past then backing him to be the first retirement with Hamilton to win is a great bet.

  • 25 units Hamilton to win & Mazepin 1st retirement @ $26 – (potential profit = $650)

Staking Plan
  • 10 units Tsunoda to have the fastest lap @ $34
  • 20 units Gasly to have the fastest lap @ $17
  • 10 units Ricciardo to have the fastest lap @ $17
  • 10 units Norris to have the fastest lap @ $17
  • 50 units Perez to have the fastest lap @ $10
  • 25 units Ferarri to have the fastest lap @ $23
  • 100 units Leclerc to finish in the top 6 @ $1.83
  • 100 units Ricciardo to finish in the top 6 @ $1.80
