F1 Betting: Saudi Arabia Grand Prix Tips & Predictions
Defending F1 champion Max Verstappen cruised to victory in Bahrain in week one in what was a pretty dour race, hopefully, Saudi Arabia will provide a more demanding test for the champion.
Sports fans always want a new hero to rule the roost, but when that finally happens, they quickly want change again. Verstappen will always have his true supporters, but after winning consecutive titles, some people want him to fail already.
That kind of criticism seems to spur the Dutchman on, and I can see him once again claiming a comfortable victory.
The real battle will come in the race to finish on the podium. Charles Leclerc, Sergio Perez, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will all be determined to score some high points.
I am backing Perez and Russell to join Verstappen on the podium, with Hamilton coming in fourth.
