Italian F1 GP
The teams head to Monza this weekend for another high speed track, which is expected to suit Mercedes once again. Ferrari looks much closer to the pace than expected in Spa however, which leaves plenty of intrigue about how things could pan out, but the bookies probably aren't far out in their synopsis that Hamilton should win, with Bottas and Vettel scrapping it out behind them.
If you read our previews and then prefer to go on and make your picks yourself, then heed this infomation carefully:
The race will be significantly affected by a raft of penalties to be applied after qualifying. Both Red Bulls have taken new engine units, while McLaren are in the same boat, and Carlos Sainz will face a 10 place deduction. That's going to materially change the way the grid shapes up, so don't be fooled by the big prices on Red Bull. They've also chosen to take their penalties here because they expect to be more competitive in Singpaore next time out.
Our first bet is for a Podium finish, where Kimi Raikkonen has to fancy his chances at 6/4. Hamilton (1/6), Bottas (2/7) and Vettel (1/4) are taking a huge cut out of the book, but Raikkonen has been steady away this season and would be the man to profit if anything unusual happens in front. He has taken four podiums this campaign, but if Ricciardo and Verstappen were excluded from results, that would rise to six. Given they will be starting from the back, that seems a fair logic to chuck into the equation. 6/4 looks a great bet on Raikkonen.
In the Top 6 market, we have to try out luck with Sergio Perez again this week. Perez and Ocon committed the ultimate sin at Spa, and will be careful not to repeat those antics, and with a good jump on the Red Bull's its surprising to see both Verstappen and Ricciardo shorter in this market. Back Perez to finish in the Top 6.
1pt Raikkonen to finish on the Podium at 6/4
1pt Perez to finish in the Top 6 at 1/1
