It's race day and we have the 20th race of the season in Mexico. With 4 races to go after Mexico GP the 3 way battle for the Drivers as well as the Constructors championship is still open. Max Verstappen leads the fight for Drivers Championship with Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc following him. McLaren seems to be well set for their Constructors title but a late lunge from Ferrari and Red Bull can disrupt their plans. The race weekend started on Friday where George Russell was fastest during FP 1 followed by Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) and Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull). In FP2 Carlos Sainz was the fastest and he was followed by Oscar Piastri in Mclaren and Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) second and third places respectively. FP 3 saw McLaren seeing some pace and both their cars in top 2 followed by Carlos Sainz in P3. During qualifying Sainz managed to maintain good pace over a lap and scored P1. He was followed by championship leader Max Verstappen and Verstappen's closest rival Lando Norris in P3. Even though Carlos Sainz qualified P1 bookies are choosing him second favorite to win the race with odds of 1.28 in his favour and Lando Norris is their current top choice with odds of 1.25. Max Verstappen has odds of 1.44. Charles Leclerc has had the fastest race pace so he can be a great bet to win the race and the odds in his favor are 1.5. Apart from these 4, I don't see anyone else winning the race. Sergio Perez who starts from P18 has a good chance of finishing in top 6 and he has odds of 4.5 in his favour. Oscar Piastri can also finish in the top 6 even though he starts from P17 and the odds for this to happen are 1.72. Mexico is really hot at this time of the year and we are going to see a few retirements and crashes and this will lead to safety cars. The odds for more than 1.5 safety cars is at 3.00 and that is a great bet to make. If you want bigger odds regarding safety cars then I see a chance of a Red Flag and this event will give you a return of $5 on a bet of $1.

Today is the race day of the Singapore Grand Prix and this race brings some great odds for gamblers who like to bet on the sport. The best part about today’s race is not just about how exciting it’s going to be for viewers but also for punters as the odds for today’s race ranges from 1.01 to 4000. Lando Norris looked fast during the 3 practice sessions and him qualifying at p1 shows he has a good chance of winning the race. Max Verstappen who starts beside him has managed to overtake Lando in almost every race off the season so far and you can bet on Verstappen to do it again and win the race with odds of 1:5 in his favor. Singapore GP track is a street circuit and there are chances that we may have a few crashes during the race which may change the race outcome during any part of the race so you can also bet on Charles Leclerc and Fernando Alonso to win this race with odds of 1:21 and 1:200 in their favor respectively. If you want a bigger frame to bet on you can bet for the drivers to be on top 3. Apart from the obvious Max and Norris, Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc both have a good chance of finishing in the top 3 and betting on them will get you returns of $4.3 and $9 on bets of $1 respectively. You can also bet on the team to win the race and as most bookies feel Mclaren will win I have a feeling that Red bull might sneak away with a win here and betting on them a dollar will give you $8 in return. Like I mentioned before this is a street circuit and margins for mistakes on tracks like these are small. Yesterday’s qualifying saw a crash which caused a red flag and looking at the history of Singapore GP its bound to be an eventful race. You can bet on the race to have a safety car and virtual safety car and the odds are 1:1.85 for this to happen.

Formula 1 has a viewership of more than 70 million per race and this proves it’s a sport loved by fans. You cannot just enjoy the sport digitally but also on bet slips. There are many events during a formula 1 event where you can bet on so let’s take a look at the most popular ones. A Formula 1 weekend lasts for 3 days and starts on a Friday where Drivers test the track in two sessions called Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2. On Saturday they have a third practice session called Free Practice 3. At this point a viewer can decide which driver has good race pace and pick their favorites for the qualifying event. During the qualifying all 20 drivers compete to set the fastest lap during 3 sessions and five of the slowest cars are eliminated on Q1, Q2 and Q3. During the final qualifying (Q3) the fastest car is given a pole position (P1) and starts from the front of the grid during the race. All cars are placed from 1 to 20 in order of the fastest lap set by them during a session. You can bet which driver will be on P1 by going through the race pace set by them during the three free practice sessions or by going through their performance during the year. On Sunday you have the main event where all 20 cars start a race and every car has to lap around the track for a specific number of times. During this race a lot of events happen where you can try your luck to make some money. You can choose what driver is going to win the race and if you are not so sure you can bet which driver will end on the podium, the top 3. You can also bet which driver will finish on points. Points are rewarded to all drivers that finish in the top 10. Sometimes cars slow down due to mechanical failure or minor collisions or some other reasons and this causes a Yellow flag and a Virtual safety car is deployed. This is quite normal during an F1 race and you can bet how many Yellow flags will occur during a race. Sometimes these collisions can be severe and parts of the car may fall on the track or cars may be stationary on or next to the track which may cause hindrance to other cars and not just in terms of their speed but also the safety of the driver. This is where a Red flag is deployed and the race is stopped for a certain amount of time. During this break all the debris is cleared off track and race is only started until it’s safe to race again. The probability of a Red Flag is lesser than that of a yellow flag so the odds on this are higher and it’s a great bet to make. Formula one is affected a lot by rain as it’s unsafe to drive as there is water on tracks which may cause cars to slide and cause accidents. If you are [planning to bet on Yellow or Red flags then choose races where there is a chance of rain. You can bet what driver will be the F1 Drivers champion, which is decided by the driver having most points during the end of season. The same system applies for the Constructors champion where the most points scored at the end of the season accumulated by both the drivers of a team decide the F1 constructors champion.
