Stephen’s selections: 

Qualifying – Winning Margin – 0.10-0.20 Seconds – Odds 3.5 – 4 Points
“I’m expecting Max Verstappen to come back with a bang this weekend but qualifying I expect to still be close but not too close. At odds of 3.5, I see good value here for the Q3 results.”

First Driver to Make a Pit Stop – George Russell – Odds 19.0 – 2 Points
“We have had too many clean starts this season and with the tough first turn at Suzuka and the possible rain, I believe Russell could get caught up with some wing damage he needs to come in for lap 1.”

Fastest Lap – Yuki Tsunoda – Odds 60.0 – 2 Points
“No one knows Suzuka like Yuki knows Suzuka! I can see a wet rain with a drying track towards the end, where he will take a risk to go onto the dry tyres to chase down some places and take the fastest lap while doing so.”

Fastest Team Pit Stop – RB Formula One Team – Odds 40.0 – 2 Points
“RB are getting closer and closer to the big three in times of Pit Stop times and it is only a matter of time before they put one together and take the fastest of a race. With odds of 40.0 and only being 0.37s off the top time last race weekend, this could be the big return of the weekend.”

Luke’s selections: 

First Driver to make a pitstop – Logan Sargeant – Odds 15.0 – 2 Points
“I think Sargeant will be on a different strategy and starting from the back, Williams might pit him early to gather some data for Albon”

First Constructor Retirement – Alpine – Odds 7.80 – 2 Points
“I feel Alpine seen some improvement last week and this week they will push hard to try and maximise their result and wouldn’t surprise me if they collide with each other”

Top 10 Finish – Nico Hulkenberg – Odds 2.37 – 2 Points
“Can the Hulk make it 3 races in a row where he finishes in the top 10? I believe their car has the pace and is definitely possible and the odds are quite good for me not to pick this”

Any Driver to win Race, Pole Position and Fastest Lap – Yes – Odds 2.25 – 2 Points
“I believe after his misfortune last time out, Verstappen will come out all guns blazing in Suzuka and will get the win, pole and fastest lap to set a statement”

Fastest team pitstop – McLaren – Odds 6.0 – 2 Points
“McLaren haven’t yet settled in at the pitstop department but I believe the team still has it in them to impress with a quick pitstop and with odds like these I can’t skip not picking it”

Ant’s selections: 

1st Practice – Winner – Carlos Sainz Jr – Odds 8.0 – 2.5 Points
“I like the odds. I like how random practice 1 can be, and I like how Sainz is driving. It was a coin toss between Sainz and Norris”

Top 6 Finish – Fernando Alonso  – Odds 3.35 – 2.5 Points
“I like the price here. Japan is always difficult to race, especially with varying conditions. And Alonso is the most skilled racer in any condition. If any of the top runners make a mistake, I know Alonso will be there to capitalise.”

Ferrari both cars Podium Finish – Yes – Odds 3.25 – 2.5 Points 
“Max + Ferrari = how I see most of the season going on the podium. Leclerc needs to sort out his consistency, however, it really does feel this is a bet worth making most of the time.”

Winning Margin – 5-10 Seconds – Odds 3.75 – 2.5 Points
“Rain is predicted for race day. This could cause a number of issues and safety car opportunities (no value in safety car price unfortunately). Verstappen is likely to be a lot faster than everyone else, however, I feel this margin could be brought down with an incident-packed race caused by the weather“
