Place your F1 bets on the drivers that you think could be the fastest qualifier, earning themselves P1 in the sprint race. An all-out battle to the finishing line, get the fastest qualifying driver correct for the chance to win.
This bet involves punters predicting who the winner of the sprint race on Saturday will be. In a race that is slightly different to the Grand Prix itself, where speed and less strategy apply, guess the driver you think is in with a chance of winning and predict correctly for the chance of a winning bet!
Bettors can predict the drivers that they think will finish in the top 6 overall in a race. With six chances of the bet being successful, it is a popular bet among F1 bettors. Get any of the top 6 finishing drivers correct and your bet should win.
As easy as it sounds, simply place your bets on who you think will take the win in the Grand Prix. With just one chance to win, it is win or lose, literally. Look at past races, results, form, or go with your gut and get the race winner right for the chance to win your bet.
