F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread

[tomahawk9]

hey guys, is there going to be a F1 promo this weekend? how long do they usually take to show up on the site? the quali starts in 30min but so far no signs of promotions ):

looking forward to following the F1 with the folks here. It's been a while since i last watched some F1 racing, but i have a feeling this year might be a competitive year (pls, i hope i'm right and it's not just Mercedes sandbagging in the practices :-P ). Plus, national hero Alonso is back, so    PS: thx @rdbase for inviting me to the thread 👍

Hi, We will have a race day special yes..

well I'm going to risk how the championship of constructors will be.

1. Mercedes
2. Red Bull
3. Ferrari(risky)
4. Mclaren
5. AM
6. Alpine
7. Alpha Tauri
8. Alfa Romeo
9. Williams
10. HAAS

After that i want to say between the 3 (Ferrari) and the 7 (Alpha Tauri) all can pass, and i put Alpha Tauri in this group because the last year they were very solid and improving all the season and this season they have the wind tunnel of redbull + Tsunoda seems better than Kviat so take a look if Alpha Tauri was the surprise of the season and move more forward.

Edit: PS anyone one more want to risk your constructor positions?

Has to say after this qualyfing and i know the season its long , i say to us take care of Alpha Tauri and Ferrari like i say in my previous post.
Such a terrible performance for AM

[Mr.right85]

I'm not a very big fan of the Formula 1 sport but I love cars even though I know very little about them but then, high speed racing cars with high horses powers trips me just to hear the sound off the engine. Well, on the thread,

My best guess on where to watch put for would always be the Ferrari. Ferrari cars are carefully crafted and comes with a lot of horse power, the problem has always being enduring the various lap but, that has a lot to do with the person behind the wheel as well but, a ferrari car comes with some advantage in car racing.

It is a very exciting time for Red Bull as you can see from the latest video from the racing qualifier.


Mercedes with Lewis came in 2nd but it was a good haul and exciting finish.

Here are the places where you can see Verstappen set a record in this one.


Also, your welcome Tomahawk9!

Oh I never thought RedBull has almost half a second pace difference from Mercedes and this made me to loose my ticket but I'm happy because Verstappen took the pole as he really deserve to be champion. Another question that keep popping in my head is : Is Valteri a really good driver ? Because Hamilton is clearly not in his best shape and he still can't beat him ...so tomorrow I have doubts he can keep that P3 with a hungry Gasly coming and the one chance man Leclerc is ready to speculate any mistakes.

[NeuroticFish]

I can't tell yet if AM is weak or it was only bad luck.
Ferrari went better than I'd expect, but I want to see if they can go well for entire race(s).
I didn't also expect so small difference between RBR and Merc cars.
Gasly was a nice surprise.

Can't wait until the race. It has all the premises for an interesting one.

[coinlocket$]

As predicted the engine of Honda is a big engine and now it maybe even better than the Mercedes' Engine.
Don't look only at RedBulls but be amazed by Alpha Tauri.
Ferrari improved a lot, sadly Sainz did a mistake or it could be near LeCleck.

Mercedes, at least Bottas has problems in long runs with tires while Redbull is one of the best with the management of tires.
The prediction is Max Winner.

After Verstappen its hard to say who will go on podium it depends on who will manage better the tires, one of the best doing so is Perez but he is behind.
Ferrari maybe solved this problem too but...

I'm going with

VER
HAM
GAS
LECR
BOTT
SAINZ

Ferrari is definitely better than last year, which can also be seen in the other vehicles with Ferrari engines. Unfortunately this is the last year for Honda now that they are competitive. In any case, wait and see how the teams behave in the long run.

Engines are frozen from now until 2025 and Redbull/Alpha Tauri will still use them till then at least is what I had read in this months.
Who knows what will happen later, we have rumors about V10 but I don't think they will go back to those monsters.

I would like to share my opinions about the top 5 placement also:

1. VER
2. HAM
3. BOT
4. GAS
5. LEC

Gasly is really the most surprising pilot here. He did a great job in the qualifying and I think he will also finish the race at a nice position. And Leclerc also has drawn attentions by his performance. I think he will also finish nicely.

Thanks, I didn't know that the engine freeze was already fixed. But otherwise I've also heard that RedBull is developing on its own with the help of Honda. I would be happy about a V10 sound again, unfortunately it won't come back.

I don't think also that they would start using V10 engines again. But I really missed them.    I believe those engines had the real Formula 1 car sounds.

Agree with you on all points made. I don't expect Hamilton to keep up with the bulls in this race.
Here are the latest odds provided just an hour out to the start of the race:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/motorsport/formula-1/formula-1-2021/race-602e7327fc0e09d896d73428
I don't expect them to change very much until the last second as they are just getting underway to begin.
2.73x odds on Lewis doesn't look like the bookies are on his side in this one either.

I somewhat agree but Leclerc at fourth place, Gasly fifth imho.

Anyway, no bets for me at this GP but if I were to bet, I like winning constructor:  Merc at 2.45...  With Hamilton and Bottas looking like they’re finishing second - third and Perez could be in a tough spot getting some points.

Edit:  And there was a market for ‘winning group 1 - 3’ with two of those I think both Ferrari drivers could win.  They took it down now both at Sportsbet and Stake.

[tomahawk9]

man, i missed the special! did anyone catch it? what was it? Red Bull to win? Hamilton fastest lap and winner?

Verstappen looking good so far...i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that only one mercedes will make it to the podium 

[boltz]

My hero of the day! 




Anyway, a great race who kept us on the edge until the last lap and this is something F1 fans missed for a long time now and I do hope next races will be the same but Max will win some of them. Regarding the last 2 lap incident I think RedBull team should've kept Max on the track and in front of Lewis as we'll never know if he he could get a penalty.

First SIR to win an F1 race. Awesome job Lewis!

[darxiaomi]

OHHH WHAT A RACE!!!!
Incredible and amazing victory for Mercedes and LH. Mercedes teachs RB how to do a win whitout having the better car. And this time also Lewis teach Verstappen(im not a fan of lewis) but he teach how to manage and support all the pressure.
Max need to learn some.
In other hand good pass forward for Ferrari, Mclaren seem really good and competitive, Alpine a disaster compared to the last year, and Aston Martin i cant believe how you can go so backwards and poor Seb.
Alpha Tauri seems strong but Gasly have some really bad luck broken the front wing.

[coinlocket$]

What a win for Hamilton, Verstappen lost the race he was too greedy to pass Hamilton there, he could just waited for next lap in the straight with the DRS.

In this race imho this was the power of teams

1 Redbull
2 Mercedes
3 Mclaren
4 Ferrari
5 Aston Martin/Alpha Tauri

[NeuroticFish]

What a race!

* AM and Alpine are quite a disappointment.
* Ferrari looks better than last year.
* McLaren looks very good and strong.
* Mercedes still goes stronger than some news said.
* AlphaTauri has strong engine, but it's either unreliable, either the drivers were unlucky this time

I hoped to see Max win, but he was close enough and it was a great show. Better luck next time.
