Here are three top betting picks for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, along with a brief analysis of each:
Oscar Piastri – Top 3 Finish (1.60)
McLaren has shown impressive form lately, with both their drivers consistently challenging for top positions. Oscar Piastri has quickly proven his skill in the F1 circuit. Given McLaren’s recent success and Piastri’s ability to compete at the highest level, backing him to secure a podium finish at 1.60 is a solid choice.
Will There Be a Safety Car? – Yes (1.40)
The Azerbaijan circuit is a street track known for its narrow corners and high speeds, making it prone to accidents. The combination of tight spaces and fast straights increases the likelihood of incidents during the race. With the historical frequency of safety car appearances here, the 1.40 odds for a safety car period is a reasonable bet.
Fernando Alonso – Top 10 Finish (1.35)
Alonso’s experience and consistency make him a strong contender to finish in the points. On a challenging street circuit like Baku, his ability to navigate tough conditions will be an advantage. Unless unexpected issues arise, Alonso should comfortably secure a top 10 finish, making 1.35 a safe pick.
