Betting Odds for the winner of the Australian Grand Prix

The Australian Grand Prix is a tough race for drivers to endure, due to the heat but what we do find is that in most cases, this is a race that can throw up a surprise winner. A late red flag after a four car collision on lap 56 led to a tight finish between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton during the 2023 Australian grand prix with Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso coming exceptionally close to winning as well.

So, who could provide a shock win this year? Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez hasn't won in Australia and tends to struggle on this track. Charles Leclerc was the 2022 winner and Ferrari have won three of the last five races. We'll need to wait until after the first two races to judge how Mercedes and McLaren could perform. However, Lando Norris is currently the most likely to take a victory away from the defending champion.

It will be interesting to see if Aston Martin can replicate their season opener last year with Alonso and Lance Stroll starting the season strong and finishing poorly.

Red Bull's dominance last year can't be overstated and it looks likely that Max Verstappen will finish first in Australia.

Betting Odds for the Podium of the Australian Grand Prix

When it comes to podium finishes in Australia, there is one man who has been very consistent and that is seven-time World Champion - Lewis Hamilton. In his last race at this event, he narrowly missed out against the powerful Red Bull but Australian Grand Prix odds will favour him over partner George Russell after Hamilton's four podiums in the last five years. If you're predicting a surprise name on the podium, we recommend placing a bet before qualifying to get better odds but it will be only after Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to get a better idea of who will perform best on the weekend of the Australian GP.

Betting Odds regarding DNF's in the Australian Grand Prix

If you're looking at the first name to DNF, once again you'll likely be looking at the earlier races and compare them with the latest odds but if we're looking ahead, there is one driver who has been the first to DNF in two of the last four races. That is Carlos Sainz Jr, who has never finished higher than 8th in Melbourne, he'll be looking for his first win but those using the Ferrari either perform fantastically or poorly, we're looking towards the latter for Sainz this year.

Betting Odds regarding position finishes in the Australian Grand Prix

With the number of red flags that have happened in the Australian Grand Prix, those who are high odds before the race can finish in fantastic positions. In 2023, Haas, Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri all finished in the top ten positions and those teams finished at the bottom of the constructors championship last year. Alpine and Ferrari were the unlucky teams last year but one of the top teams always seems to have a disappointing weekend. If Mercedes start slow, we could definitely image them being the team to drop off here, they might start higher up the grid but expect at least one of the teams lower down the grid to push into the top positions on Sunday.

Betting Odds regarding the fastest lap in the Australian Grand Prix

The fastest lap at the Australian Grand Prix is a lottery due to the number of flags that appear on a weekend. The team with the most speed and the team that gets the most points, aren't always guaranteed to get the fastest lap in Formula 1, when making predictions you'll likely go for the Red Bull pair of Sergio Perez or Max Verstappen but if we're expecting a lot of flags, we could see one of the teams set to finish outside of the top positions, set out for a point in the final laps of the race.
