Stephen’s selections: 

Practice 1 – Verstappen, Max vs. Perez, Sergio – Sergio Perez – Odds 7.4 – 2 Points
“With only on practice session this weekend, all teams are going to have to run a bit of everything in this session and it could mean splitting drivers. Perez will be the one they will be more concerned with making sure he has the qualifying pace to give them a strong weekend so he could be the one given the better chance to get a fastest time in FP1.”

Qualifying – Winner – Lando Norris – Odds 17.0 – 2 Points
“Looking for some big value is always hard in F1 but with McLaren saying they have massive upgrades coming this weekend we could see some good pace, at least over one lap, from the team. I feel by the main race qualifying Lando will have a real feel for the cars changes and could follow up from his sprint pole last race weekend.”

First Driver to Make a Pit Stop – Pierre Gasly – Odds 19.0 – 2 Points
“As with every race weekend this really could be anyone from this far away from the start of the race. However, with Alpines struggles and Gasly himself not performing well odds of 19.0 for him are a good outside shout for a bigger winner this weekend.”

Classified as Last Finisher – Logan Sargeant – Odds 2.5 – 4 Points
“Logan has classified last in 3 out of the 5 races so far this season and also classified last for the Miami GP in 2023. I cannot see a good weekend for him this weekend either and will likely be the last of the classified runners unless some incident stops it”

Luke’s selections: 

FP1 Winner – Lando Norris – Odds 13.0 – 2 Points
“With McLaren bringing in a massive upgrade this weekend they will be keen to make sure and test it ASAP ahead of Sprint Qualifying and they won’t sandbag as much, Norris is also in amazing form at the moment and could see him topping the leaderboards in FP1”

First Driver to make a Pitstop – Nico Hulkenberg – Odds 10.0 – 2 Points
“This is always a guess but I think Nico could get into some damage early on from the start and having to pit at the end of lap 1”

First Driver Retirement – Logan Sargeant – Odds 13.0 – 2 Points
“Let’s face it, Sargeant isn’t having the best of seasons and I could easily see him spinning out or crashing with another driver given the additional pressure that he is on home turf.”

Fastest Team Pitstop – McLaren – Odds 4.50 – 2 Points
“This is going to be a weekly bet for me as I see McLaren getting closer and closer on this one and it has good value so I will continue betting on this for the foreseeable future”

Top 3 Finish – Lando Norris – Odds 2.35 – 2 Points
“Similar reasoning to the FP1 bet, I think Lando is going to be one to look out for this weekend with a potential win as well if the McLaren upgrades work really well”

Ant’s selections: 

Practice 1 Winner – Lando Norris – Odds 13.0 – 2 Points
“With upgrades to come, and Norris showing real pace this season, there could be a marker set for the weekend. It’s a long shot, however, this could be one of a few markets that upset the bookies this weekend “

Sprint qualifying winner – Sergio Perez – Odds 7.0 – 2 Points
“Red Bull make it count when push comes to shove. And they could dominate the race weekend. Perez needs to come good at some point, and qualifying for the sprint could be when he finally beats Verstappen at something”

First constructor retirement – Haas – Odds 9.0 – 2 Points
“Linked to the previous selection, there could be value in certain teams not finishing the race. Haas are always vulnerable due to where they tend to start on the grid. Again another price with value”

Classified drivers – Under 17.5 – Odds 2.49 – 2 Points
“The past few races have seen a lot of action from the mid and lower field cars. Although the weather has played it’s part, and it seems to be dry in Miami this week, I can see value in less than 18 cars finishing the race”

Top 3 finish – Charles Leclerc – Odds 2.50 – 2 Points
“Ferrari are under pressure to perform, as is Leclerc. We could see a solid drive from him this weekend that places him on the podium. Ferrari need to prove they are a force, and Leclerc needs to prove he’s the right man to keep ahead of Sainz”
