Trends to guide your Formula 1 Betting Strategy

There are a few exciting things that we need to watch out for in the upcoming Italian Grand Prix.

1. Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the home race for Ferrari and it has always been a dream for Ferrari drivers to win a race in Monza. Both Leclerc and Sainz fought hard during Qualification and it was Sainz on top who made pole position for the first time this season.

2. Max Verstappen has 9 consecutive race wins and is looking to break the record of 10 consecutive race wins. The Dutchman has won four times from his last 10 starts from P2 on the grid.

3. Alex Albon and the Williams keep improving race after race and are forecast to make it in the points.

4. George Russell grabbed fourth during qualification, for back to back top four starts having been third in Zandvoort last weekend.

5. Oscar Piastri out qualified his team mate for the second time in the last three races.

Race Prediction #1:

Max Verstappen To Win

Max Verstappen is starting in second place as Carlos Sainz grabbed his first pole position of the season. However, Max has won four times out of his last ten starts from P2. This season the Red Bull car has been so powerful that this is but the second time they lost pole position but in the long run has won all races this season. Max Verstappen will not fight Sainz, but will wait for the right moment to pass him and win the race.

Race Prediction #2:

Carlos Sainz Podium Finish

It's clearly where the Ferrari has gotten their motivation this weekend at their home race. They owe it to the fans and they are certainly putting on a show. Both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc are starting in the top 3 and are both forecast on the podium. It is no secret that the Red Bull has a powerful pace in the long game and all the Ferrari can do is try to defend their position. Carlos Sainz might not win, but he will make it on the podium.

Race Prediction #3:

George Russell Top 6 Finish

It was hard to see George Russel not make it to top 6 last weekend in Zandvoort. He was forecast a Podium but due to the rain and red flag he got the worst of it and ended up in P17. This however does not mean anything for this coming race in Monza. It is a new week and George Russell is determined to prove himself. He had a good qualifying and will start P4 on the grid. George Russel is going to fight the Ferrari's for a podium but most likely will end up in P4.

Race Prediction #4:

Oscar Piastri Points Finish

Since the British Grand Prix, the McLarens have proven to be a worthy opponent to fight for top 3 position in the Constructors Championship. Oscar Piastri is a rookie driver in F1, but has also been a key factor for McLarens success. Piastri out qualified his team mate for the second time in the last three races. Although this race there has been other teams that are performing good, we expect both McLarens drivers to make it in the points.
