• Luke, usually consistent, encountered a minor setback with a -1.50 loss at the last race, nudging his overall score to -2.03. Despite this, his keen analytical skills and in-depth knowledge of F1 dynamics mean he remains a formidable contender as we head into Abu Dhabi.
• Ant continued his positive trajectory, adding +10.80 points in Qatar, which brings his season tally to +4.58. Known for his bold and often unconventional picks, Ant has proven that taking calculated risks can lead to substantial gains.

Stephen’s selections: 

Fastest Qualifier – Carlos Sainz – Odds 10.0 – 2.5 Points
“Ferrari will be quick this weekend as _ believe their car is well suited to the track but McLaren will be strong too. Carlos will have a poijt to prove to Ferrari and the whole of F1 before he leaves and by putting it on pole will be one way of doing that!”

Fastest Team pit stop – Ferrari – Odds 9.0 – 2.5 Points
“Ferrari are going to need everything to be ahead of McLaren this weekend to win the constructors. They will want to pit well and hopefully, they can get the fastest of the race”

Both Cars in top 6- Ferrari – Yes – Odds 1.5 – 2.5 Points
“This bet is a little bet to try to secure profit for the season overall in case all else fails. Plus a jinx bet as a McLaren fan hoping Ferrari isn’t able to win the constructors championship.”

Total Classified Drivers – Between 18 and 19 – Odds 1.61 – 2.5 Points
“End of the season and a lot to play for most cars end up finishing the last race of the season so I think this is a good safe bet as well to cover making profit for the 2024 season overall.”

Luke’s selections:

Safety Car During Race Period – Yes – Odds 2.10 – 5 Points
“With it being the last race of the season, I can see some retirements due to crashes and also reliability, the safety car is nearly guaranteed to come out.”

Fastest Team Pit Stop – Ferrari – Odds 9.0 – 1.5 Points
“Last chance for this one to come in this season, price is too good to pass up on this and I do believe they have a good pitstop in them or everyone else will be bad haha”

Points Finish – Valtteri Bottas – Odds 11.0 – 1.5 Points
“Sauber car is getting better now towards the end of the season and this will be Bottas last race for him, last week he was one place off points and will want to have a good race”

Formula 1 Constructors Championship – Ferrari – Odds 6.5 – 2 Points
“This one is worth a gamble, I don’t think it’s likely to come in however McLaren have been dropping the ball a lot when it comes to championship strategies and the pressure might get to them and they fumble, so at odds of 6.5, it’s worth a punt“

Ant’s selections: 

Fastest in P1 – Leclerc – odds 3.0 – 2.5 points
“Practice 1 will be a bit of a mess. Many drivers being replaced for the session and so there’s a lot of unknown. Ferrari may use this to get Leclerc full of confidence as they chase second in the standings”

Qualifying winning margin – 0.1 to 0.2 seconds – odds 3.1 – 2.5 points
“I expect qualifying to be tight. There may be nothing really in it. This bet is fun for me so for the last race of the season I’m going for it.”

Points finish – Albon – odds 3.25 – points 2.5
“Alex Albon and Williams have had a strange season. They have shown pace in some races and been completely off it in others. I rate Albon and hopefully he’ll show he’s good enough for some points in the final race.”

To win race – Lando Norris – odds 3.25 – 2.5 points
“I’m going on a bit of a punt here, because I feel like whenever the pressure has been on, Norris has choked. But surely he can’t this time can he? I like the odds even though he’s still favourite. He should finish second in the standings, as should McLaren, so I’m showing a bit of faith in my fellow Brit”
