Stephen’s Selections:

Fastest Qualifier – Norris – Odds 9.0 – 1.5 Points
“I believe this is maybe more hopeful that Max won’t have it his own way this whole weekend and dominate. Lando Norris at 9.0 seems the best value and most likely man who could maybe upset Max in qualifying this weekend.”

Driver to Retire first – Nico Hulkenberg – Odds 15.0 – 1 Point
“Haas can never have too much good news in one weekend and after confirming both drivers will continue into 2024, I can see bad luck happening for them in Hulk being the first man to retire on Sunday”

Fastest Team Pit Stop – Mclaren – Odds 3.75 – 2.5 Points
“I feel like this is going to be the bet that I take on most of this season looking for the best value. Mclaren has been unlucky in recent races missing out on this award but this weekend hopefully will be my first winner on this bet” 

Both Cars Top 6 Finish – Mercedes – Odds 1.9 – 5 Points
“I’m hoping the rumors of this weekend’s Mercedes upgrade are true, if so they could both be pushing closer to the Red Bulls and a top 6 finish for both will be a safe bet”

Luke’s Selections:

Q2 Winning Margin – Between 0.1 and 0.25 seconds – Odds 2.6 – 2 Points
“Jumping on the Ant bandwagon that has been bringing him value for a couple of weeks and hoping to get some easy points mused or break his streak “

Safety car and VSC in Race – Yes – Odds 2.2 – 2 Points
“I believe there will be an incident that will initially bring out the VSC and will later turn into a full safety car”

Top 6 Finish – Charles Leclerc – Yes – Odds 1.5 – 3 Points 
“I believe Leclerc is on a good run currently and is always beating his teammate Sainz, and I think Ferrari has the pace to take Leclerc to the top 6. This should be my safe bet of the weekend (famous last words)”

Grand Slam – Yes – Odds 3.50 – 3 Points
“With this being the home race for Verstappen, I believe he will make sure to put out a good performance for the Orange army and will do everything in his power to get this”

Ant’s Selections:

Fastest Practice 1 – Lewis Hamilton – Odds 15.0 – 3 Points
“This is my big hit and hope selection of the weekend. Firstly I think the odds are a little too high considering how random P1 especially can be, but I also think it would be just like Hamilton to initially spoil the Dutch party. Only for Max to dominate everything else”

Q2 Winning Margin – Between 0.1 and 0.25 seconds – Odds 2.50 – 3 Points
“Me and Luke are either winning or losing together on this one. Or hopefully, I’ll jinx him and he’ll finish on fewer points than I do. I think there is genuine value in this bet though”

Points Finish  – Esteban Ocon – Odds 2.37 – 2 Points
“I think either Alpine could get into the points this race (this is where Gasly finishes 10th and Ocon 11th). I will stick with my decision of Ocon to finish in the points.”

Top 6 Finish – Fernando Alonso – Yes – Odds 2.75 – 2 Points
“The rest will have done Alonso some good. I think he’ll have a point to prove this race. He’s still the best naturally gifted driver on the grid, so a top 6 finish isn’t out of the realm of possibility, despite his odds being a little too high for my liking”
