F1 Podium: Odds to Win the 2018 United States Grand Prix

The next three Formula 1 races take place in the Americas with the first stop in Texas at the United States Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton is a massive favorite to win the race, between -180 and -190 at most books. Hamilton has won six of the last seven races in the U.S. and he’s also won six of the last seven races during the 2018 Formula 1 calendar, all but engraving his name on the F1 drivers championship.
Let’s take a look at three bets to get you some profit this week in Texas:
P1: Sebastian Vettel - Fastest Lap (+450)
I really like the value on Sebastian Vettel to record the fastest lap. Vettel is the only other driver to win this race since 2007 and he had the fastest lap in both the 2016 and 2017 races. Vettel, while mathematically still alive in the drivers championship, is destined to finish second to Hamilton this season, but he will be pushing hard for the last four races.
P2: Hamilton - Pole Position and Win the Race (-120)
Due to Lewis Hamilton’s dominance on this track and just about every track he drives on, it’s not a bad idea to combine some Hamilton bets to get better value. Hamilton has won from the pole position in each of the past two years and Mercedes has won the qualifying stage for five consecutive United States Grands Prix.
P3: Bottas & Vettel Combination Podium Finish (+100)
As mentioned, Mercedes has had unparalleled success in Austin so it’s not far-fetched to believe that it will put two cars on the podium this week. If you’d like to fade this combo finish, you can take the fade this pick at -135. Either way, I think it’s one of the best bets available this week.
