Bryce's Bets: Formula One in Austria
After a few weeks off, we’re back to a great event at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Max Verstappen is once again starting first with his fourth straight pole. However, both Ferraris are lurking with Charles Leclerc in second and Carlos Sainz in third.
Lando Norris looks quick in his upgraded McLaren; he starts fourth. George Russell and Sergio Perez both had bad qualifying sessions. It’s becoming more of a trend for Perez, it’s his third consecutive race he’s failed to make Q3. He starts 15th and Russell starts 11th.
The weather could definitely play a part on Sunday. It rained before qualifying and during the sprint race on Saturday. Get the best odds for these bets wherever you can!
Lance Stroll Top Six Finish
Stroll hasn’t had the best season as he started the year with broken wrists. He’s had some disappointing outings but has looked quick so far this weekend. He starts sixth and he held off his teammate Fernando Alonso in the sprint race to finish fourth. Take Stroll here at plus odds to get a top-six finish.
Carlos Sainz Podium Finish
An underrated story so far this year is Sainz outperforming Leclerc. He’s been way more consistent than Leclerc and has shown similar pace. He’s at plus odds to finish on the podium which seems high considering he’s starting third and he finished third at the sprint race. Bet on Sainz as he could have a little buffer with Norris starting fourth but lacking race pace.
Alexander Albon Top Ten Finish
Albon is coming off a huge result in Canada with a seventh-place finish. He starts tenth in the race on Sunday and he showed good race pace in the sprint as he was in the top ten until he switched to dry tires too late which put him back. Bet on Albon with plus odds to avoid any drama and stick in the top ten.
Lando Norris Top Six Finish
Norris hasn’t had the results for this bet to cash but he’s been unlucky. He made contact with another car and had to pit after starting third in Spain. Norris started third in the sprint but got caught out in a chaotic opening lap and never recovered. He hasn’t gotten the chance to show his potential from a good starting spot. This bet is also a hedge because both Stroll and Norris are at plus odds to finish in the top six and one of them will. Take them both and if they both hit it’ll be a nice payday.
Season Record: 9-19
