Formula One – Speed and tactics crucial to success

There are so many fascinating aspects of Formula One to consider when placing your bets at Betsson that there are almost too many to mention. But let’s try.

First up, you need to consider who’s got the fastest car. Then who is the best driver. Who has the best team in terms of mechanics and General Manager. You then need to think about which driver will be best suited not just to a particular track but also to the conditions on the day. For example, Sebastian Vettel is known to be a particularly good driver when it comes to racing in the rain.

Finally, you need to consider which drivers may be under special team instructions to support their team partner rather than being out to win.

Once you’ve done all that, you can bet on who will be the race winner, which three drivers will make the podium, who will be leading after the first lap and how many times the safety car will come out. Prior to the accrual race you can also bet on who will start the race in pole position.

In terms of more long-term markets you can find Betsson markets on who will win the Constructor’s World Championship and who will win the Formula One World Championship.

Germany and the United Kingdom have dominated the sport in recent years with all nine of the last World Championships being won by drivers from those two countries: Lewis Hamilton (3) and Jenson Button (1) doing the business for Great Britain while Sebastian Vettel (4) and Nico Rosberg (1) have been Germany’s two champions. Strangely, Rosberg retired just after winning his first ever World Title in 2016, paving the way for younger drivers like Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen to challenge for the sport’s biggest prize.
