Current Formula 1 Odds for 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix

This looks set to be an interesting season in Formula 1, but the big question that we all have is whether the end result will be in any way different from the expectations. Most are of the belief that Max Verstappen is set to dominate once again, just as he has done over the last couple of seasons

Is there any driver out there who can mount a series challenge and make things uncomfortable for the champ? Outside of the championship race, there are some other little details of interest, the most notable of which is that this will be the last season with Mercedes for Lewis Hamilton. He will be joining Ferrari for the 2025 season, so will we see one last hurrah from the driver/constructor partnership that was so good for so long?

All of these things will be answered in the coming months, but it all starts this weekend in Bahrain with the opening race of the season, so let’s look at the current Formula 1 odds for this one.

Max Verstappen f1 race odds -290

Verstappen comes into this season looking for his 4th straight world championship, with very few believing that he will not complete that task. He is coming off a ridiculously good season, winning 19 of the 23 races in the 2023 season. The belief is that he will pick up right where he left off, which is more than clear when you look at his odds compared to the rest of the field. He won this race last year, but that was his first time winning in Bahrain, so this is not necessarily a track where he has been totally dominant. Does that leave the door open for another driver to get the season off to a surprising start, or will it simply be more of the same from Verstappen.

Charles Leclerc f1 race odds +1000

After not really making much of an impact in F1, Leclerc suddenly came to life in the 2022 season, winning 2 of the opening 3 races of the year to get a lot of people believing that we might see a great championship battle. He only had 1 more win the rest of the way, though, and had to settle for 2nd overall, well off the pace set by Verstappen. It was a bit of a backward step for Leclerc last season, as he failed to win a race on his way to a 5th place overall finish. He did, though, find his way on to the podium on a regular basis, and he does have a win in Bahrain to draw upon, so keep an eye on him this weekend.

Other Drivers to Consider

We are seeing Lewis Hamilton +1050 on an unexpected winless run that is now over 2 years long. The question that has to be asked now is whether he and Mercedes have anything left in the tank. Hamilton has won this race in the past, so this might be a good early test to see where he stands in 2024.
We saw a victory from Carlos Sainz Jr. +1500 last season, but that was perhaps the lone highlight from what was a mediocre season overall, with Sainz Jr. coming in 7th on the overall standings. He does have a recent podium finish in Bahrain, which might be the best we can hope for this Sunday.

Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix Betting Analysis & Prediction for Opening Race of the Season

Previous Betting News

It has been a more active offseason than we are used to with Formula 1, but that also means that fans are perhaps a little more fired up for the coming season than they have been in the past. It was the strange events in Abu Dhabi in the final race of last season that set off a chain of events leading to the dismissal of the head official in that race. One thing that did not change, though, was the final result, which means that Max Verstappen will come into 2022 as the defending champion. After some initial thoughts of sitting this season out, Lewis Hamilton will indeed return to the fold as he looks to win his record-setting 8^th World Championship. The new season kicks off in Bahrain, but which driver will get the early lead in the driver standings. Let’s look at some of the potential favorites for the Bahrain GP so you can bet against their Formula 1 Odds.

Formula 1 Betting Analysis for 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix Race

Lewis Hamilton

If ever there was a driver with a chip on his shoulder, it would have to be Hamilton coming into this season. He looked to have the title all locked up last season before the fateful decision in Abu Dhabi cleared the path for Verstappen to make a late pass and win it all. The controversy surrounding that race led to an outcry from fans and drivers alike, but it appears to have strengthened the resolve of Hamilton, who has promised to be more aggressive on the track this season. Hamilton has 3 straight wins in Bahrain, so he needs to be considered the favorite here.

Max Verstappen

While Verstappen finally delivered a championship last season, there are some who believe it is a little tainted given how things finished up. In fairness, though, he did win 10 races on the season, so it’s not as though his first World Championship was totally undeserved. The question now is whether he can come into the new season and be as dominant as he was last year. Winning this race would be a good way to prove that he is ready, but he has not been able to get past Hamilton in Bahrain. Finally doing so would deliver a strong message.

The Rest of the Pack

The top two drivers in the sport are so dominant that the rest of the drivers in the field are usually way back in terms of odds to win when compared to Hamilton and Verstappen. That does not mean that one of those drivers can’t win, though, as surprises have a way of happening in F1.

After finishing 4^th overall in 2019, Charles Leclerc has taken a bit of a backward step and has failed to pick up a win since then. His best run in Bahrain came in 2019, when he finished on the podium. He ran 6^th in Bahrain last year.

One driver to keep an eye on this season is George Russell, who was signed by Mercedes to be the teammate of Lewis Hamilton. This is a driver that never really made much of an impact in his time with Williams, but there are a lot of fans and pundits who believe that we could be looking at a breakout season for the British driver.
