F1 heads to North America this week and we gear up for the Canadian GP. We look at this week’s race from a betting angle and offer up a couple of suggested bets for your consideration.
PREVIOUS RACE – Spanish GP
The Spanish GP saw another dominant performance from McLaren, as they secured a one-two finish with Oscar Piastri taking the win and Lando Norris coming in second. Charles Leclerc completed the podium in third, while George Russell finished fourth.
CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE
Oscar Piastri 186 points
Lando Norris 176 points
Max Verstappen 137 points
George Russell 111 points
It is getting to a stage where the Drivers’ Championship is becoming Piastri v Norris, Mclaren v Mclaren. The bookies have Piastri at 1.60 to win the Championship while Norris is trading at 2.75 for the win.

CONSTRUCTORS CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE

Ferrari 165 points
Mercedes 159 points
Red Bull 144 points
We continue to look at the Constructors Championship “winner without McLaren” market. Ferrari have jumped up into the lead (in the race for 2nd) from third after two good results in the last race. The bookies have them at 2.00 to win while Mercedes are trading at 2.60 and Red Bull are trading at 4.30.

Canadian GP 2024
Last year’s race saw Max Verstappen win his 3rd successive Canadian GP. Lando Norris was 2nd just under 4 seconds back and George Russell narrowly beat his teammate Hamilton (who has won this race 7 times) to the podium.

Oscar Piastri (Mclaren) 2.35
Lando Norris (Mclaren) 3.00
Max Verstappen (Red Bull) 6.00
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) 19.00
George Russell (Mercedes) 23.00
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) 26.00

VERDICT
Piastri has already won five races so far this season and does not look like he will be slowing down any time soon. In last year’s Canadian GP, he finished behind his teammate Norris but I can see him turning the tables this weekend.
Suggested Bet: Oscar Piastri to win at 2.35.

Alonso finished in 6th place at last year’s Canadian GP having finished 2nd in 2023 and showing how familiar he is with the track. He is also coming off the back of a 9th place finish at his home GP two weeks ago and so with the momentum and track form, I think he will be able to deliver another points finish this weekend.
Suggested Bet: Fernando Alonso points finish at 2.20.
