I won't bet on Hamilton for the rest of the season to win or to take poles. Yea, at some point he might get 3 more wins to have 100 but besides that , I really think the Honda engine and Max as a driver will deliver the championship at the end of the season.

Remember that Lewis had luck in both 2017 and 2018 if Sebastian wouldn't make stupid mistakes that costs him so many points.

Tomorrow race will be entertaining as it seems people are getting comfortable to see Gasly in top 6 but I want him on the podium on his home track, I also want Max to win and Perez to be 2nd as this will consolidate RedBull even more. Mercedes are working well under pressure but this year seems different.

Verstappen did a great job and took the pole position with an even lap time under 1:30.000. It was really crazy to see as there was no other driver to do the same. The start will be very important for him today. If he has a good start, then I believe that he can win the race also. Pit strategies also will be very crucial. Even a simple mistake can cause Hamilton to take the advantage.

I have a lot of confidence in Verstappen, he has beaten the competition in this circuit too and there is no one who can come close, it seems that only mechanical mistakes or mistakes by others can take him from the win to keep. it drives almost perfect, still handsome. Verstappen 1, Hamilton 2 perez 3

Sergio Perez top 3 finish ? What do you think about this bet guys ? For me , it sounds like a perfect opportunity for Perez to get on the podium as Bottas will not have a great race again so I'm not counting on him.

Also a vital factor would be the thunderstorm as the prediction is that we will have heavy rain at some point during the race.

[john_nautica]

The odds for verstappen to win are pretty high actually, considering his dominance this weekend, as we believe. the bookmaker thinks its 50-50% between Verstappen and Hamilton? I would go for Verstappen to win this one.

Well Coinlocket$ does think Perez will be in the top 3 from the other thread on the F1 motosports.
And it seem he knows his stuff.

Yes, it does rain in france constantly and not just a drizzle so this can be a deciding factor for who can keep their tires completely on the track through out this race if this does come into play.

Just watching the preshow and they had a car show of some famous cars on the track with notable/recognizable ones such as:
The DeLoren from Back to the Future, K.I.T.T from Knight Rider, the A-Team van and the Famous Dodge Charger from Fast and the Furious.

They really make a show of it when ever they have a major race in France!

Max @1.88 and Hamilton @2.42 are some good value bets to take I would say. As both are in good form to take this race all out for themselves.

Guys , can you place bets on F1 ? I cannot. If I want to place a bet on F1 , the system won't let me and it simply won't loading. Also, I can only access the F1 page in sportsbet just by the link you posted here so what is going on ?

Are there restrictions of zone on who can bet on F1 ? Anyone having the same problem ?


Oh, it seems that the page was unavailable for some reasons but once again the live support is OUTSTANDING! 10/10 everytime I talk to them. Amazing community as always!

Verstappen eventually won. Changed tires at just the right time, it seems. Still pretty good after that mess in the first round. Red Bull has gambled and won today, what has been especially bad in recent years now seems to be going well. And again far out in the standings. They are well on track for the title.

[NeuroticFish]

It was a great race, Red Bull had better strategy (maybe on the fly though) and they've won.
Ferrari was the biggest disappointment though.

Great race to watch. Probably not the best to be in Lewis' or Valtteri's shoes though.

Guys , can you place bets on F1 ? I cannot.

Max and Lewis are too close, so for now the fact I don't bet is ... not related to the system.

Closer to the start time the less likely you will be able to place a wager on the markets.
It is just like UFC they have a counter and 25 minutes before a match starts they close the markets on being able to place a bet.
F1 seems to be an hour before the start time because of the way the markets are I suposse.
I am not an expert on this but this is what I have found has happened in my prior experience trying to place bets on F1.

Race in Styria odds are looking good and closer to the race day so be sure to get them while they are still nice on Max @2.21x.

You can bet on the race before it comes and goes as the days seem to be flying by at this time of year for the Summer.

Just watching the practice in Austria and Bottas spun out doing almost a 180 while getting out of the pit box.
That was the highlight of the practice as these are pretty much dry runs.
It was a loud screech and many turned around to look at what happened as it was not on the race track but just coming out of the pit.
The announcer was saying he never had seen anything like that done before.
Doesn't look to good for the mercedes team and valtteri bottas just before qualifying or the race come Sunday.

I simply want odds for H2H duel on pilots because only us don't have those . To be honest, even group winners are gone from Formula 1 odds so there are no more attractive options to bet on Formula 1. Who should we take  ? 80% of the options are not even related to the race itself and more likely to pure and random luck. How could you know who is gonna be classified and who is not ? This is just pure random stuff.

Can we increase the pool size of options regarding F1? I know we had H2h duels on pilots , I know we had top 6 and top 10 before , so why don't you bring that back ?

You know that some of us are loving and living for F1 during the weekends.

Max again for the win! Over 35.74+ seconds with the definite domination in this race against Hamilton.

Didn't know red bull had a sponsor with a crypto-related name on their car.

Today, I was really delighted to watch the Austrian GP. Max Verstappen was incredibly good from the start to the end.

Starting was very important for both Verstappen and Hamilton. It was a long straight and I was wondering whether Hamilton would overtake Verstappen there. But Verstappen defended very well and didn't give any space to him. After that, Hamilton was never able to get even near him. At the end, the team realized that he wasn't going to be able to catch Verstappen and they went for the fastest lap. And Hamilton had the fastest lap at the end. That is very valuable extra one point for him. It is crucial for the title competition.

Great race, Max! Congrats!

I believe when you see Max as the "favorite" in race this many times in a row, that kind of says something. I know even after today there are tons of people who believe Hamilton could make a comeback and to be fair the early races are a bit more favoring the Red Bull side, and we are getting to that "top speed matters" tracks once again, however it is not really that shocking to me that if Max really can hold it together and do not have any accidents like baku race or any mishaps, literally just finish rest of the season no matter what, then he could be champion very easily.

We are going to see Hamilton make a mistake again, or mercedes could make one because they haven't been that great this year as a whole team, and that is where Max keeps all of his earnings so far. It is nice to see these races once in a while instead of like every day in some other sports, it makes the races so much more fun.

The 35 seconds are fake, Hamilton did one extra pit stop to take an additional point of the last lap with a set of fresh tires.
However, the game was dominated anyway and he could not compete with Redbull.

After the last update of their engine, RBR seems too strong for this Mercedes.

There are still quite a lot of races ahead to make far-reaching conclusions, so everything can change and Mercedes will be able to catch up with Red Bull in terms of racing pace. But the fact remains that Mercedes cannot win for the fourth race in a row and Verstappen's Red Bull looks better both in qualifying and in the race itself. Another question is that after it was officially announced that Ferrari will not modernize the car this year and all the finances will be thrown on the car next year, it turns out that hardly anyone will be able to interfere in the competition between Mercedes and Red Bull this year.
