Stephen’s selections: 

Fastest in FP1 – Oscar Piastri – Odds 6.0 – 3.5 Points
“We are going big early in the weekend here, I was on the fence between Oscar and Russell for some good value here but I’m going with Oscar as I feel McLaren are going to want to see their true pace early on this weekend after last week. Half the field will be filled with rookies but I believe it will be the most experienced one who tops the time sheets.”

First Driver to Retire – Esteban Ocon – Odds 21.0 – 1.5 Points
“I feel Alpine is going to have some hope going into this week after some strong results and Ocon had an amazing result at Las Vegas but Alpine never seems to be able to back it up for two races in a row. I feel it will be a short race this weekend for Ocon who will be able to go on his end-of-season break early. ”

First driver to make a pitstop – Nico Hulkenburg – Odds 21.0 – 1.5 points
“This could be any of the midfield for many reasons, could be damage lap one, could be they started ion softs or want to pit for some air. The Haas seem to love ruining their tyres early so we have gone for Hulkenberg this week.”

Fastest Team Pitstop – AlphaTauri – Odds 10.0 – 1.5 Point
“This is a hit from the deep, anything is possible, right? Well, let’s see if AlphaTauri can pull off the fastest pit stop of the weekend. They were the fastest of the weekend in Vegas until Oscar’s late stop meant McLaren took it with a 1.99 so what this space!”

Fastest Lap – Carlos Sainz – Odds 11.0 – 2 Points
“Ferrari has looked fast in recent weeks and I do not see that changing this weekend. Sainz has his fresh changes to his car after last week and Ferrari could need this extra point to take that second place away from Mercedes so there would be a late stop on the cards for either Ferrari.”

Luke’s selections: 

Q1 Winning margin – Between 0.1 and 0.25 seconds inclusive – Odds 3.0 – 2.5 Points
“Time for me to jump on this bandwagon again and try and get some easy points hopefully, this is a good price and has potential to come in”

First Driver to make a Pitstop – Lance Stroll – 21.0 – 2.5 Points
“Absolute gamble here and it’s my last chance to get in the positives but this has potential coming in due to first lap incidents and Stroll has in the past been in a few incidents”

Red Flag in Race – Yes – 5.50 – 2.50 Points
“I’m having flashbacks to 2021 and the Latifi incident that should have been Red Flagged (controversial I know) but I think there is potential for a Red Flag and again price is quite decent here”

Fastest Team Pitstop – Ferrari – 6.0 – 2.5 Points
“Ferrari showed in the past that they can be quick and it is a decent price to punt on this. Mclaren had a whopping 1.9 again but consistency is not their strong point so unless Red Bull ruins the fun I think Ferrari have a good chance”

Ant’s selections: 

Fastest in FP1 – Yuki Tsunoda – Odds 21.0 – 2.5 Points
“First practice is going to be wild with 10 rookies taking part. Anything could happen, but there is something in me that believes Yuki will end up on top. The price is super attractive also, and some of the front runners may not wish to risk anything so early on with their setup”

Q1 Winning Margin – Between 0.1 and 0.25 seconds inclusive – Odds 2.8 – 2.5 Points
“Luke jumping on the bandwagon. And why not? It’s one of the more profitable bets to be had. And with it being the last race of the season, I have to give it one last go.”

Fastest Qualifier, fastest lap, and race win – Max Verstappen – Odds 3.0 – 2.5 Points 
“The season may be wrapped up, but what Max has shown is he is RUTHLESS. And I expect him to lay down the marker in the last race of the season, to leave everyone knowing that he is “the guy”. I do not enjoy betting on Max, but this seems like the ultimate Max Verstappen bet to make.”

Top 6 Finish – Fernando Alonso – Odds 3.0 – 2.5 Points
“He is the best racer I have ever seen in F1. The car may have not progressed so well during the season, but I feel Alonso always gets the best out of it. He will want to end the season strong. I believe he will”
