<h2>Qatar Grand Prix</h2> <p>Once again Max Verstappen is the F1 world champion, but aside from that, the craziness of the 2024 season continued with George Russell winning in Las Vegas. That’s the sixth race in a row with a different winner … great for fans, not so good for predictions. So now it’s off to the Losail Circuit for the third ever Qatar Grand Prix. F1 held in 2023 and 2021, with no event in 2022 because of the FIFA World Cup. Lewis Hamilton won here in 2021 with Verstappen atop the podium last year, and the two McLarens – Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris – in second and third. This is a track with long, high-speed sections and it tends to favour McLaren, while disadvantaging Ferrari, so keep that in mind. This is also the last Sprint weekend of the season … Piastri won the Sprint race here last year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Qatar Grand Prix Betting Tips</h3> <h4>Best Bet</h4> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-qatar-grand-prix-8740997">Lando Norris to Finish on the Podium &amp; Oscar Piastri to Finish in the Top 6 $1.45 (BYO Sportsbet)</a></p> <p>This bet relies on a strong performance from McLaren, which is something you’d expect on this lightning-quick circuit. And with the Constructors race still hot and heavy – and the pressure of a Lando v Max fight finished – the Papaya team will be keen on a big result.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Next Best</h4> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-qatar-grand-prix-8740997">Oscar Piastri to Finish on the Podium &amp; Lando Norris to Finish in the Top 6 $1.80 (BYO Sportsbet)</a></p> <p>There is more value here than the Best Bet, but it depends on Oscar Piastri finishing in the top three. He’s been a bit out of form, but as mentioned, the track should suit him.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Value Bet</h4> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-qatar-grand-prix-8740997">Oscar Piastri $5.60 (Outright Betting)</a></p> <p>Continuing the Piastri theme, if you’re looking for value, why not take a look at the young Aussie winning the whole thing?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Piastri Bet</h4> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-qatar-grand-prix-8740997">Oscar Piastri $1.92 (Podium Finish)</a></p> <p>He’s in every bet, so having a ‘Piastri Bet’ is somewhat ironic. But this looks like good value for what should be an achievable finish.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>*Odds subject to change</p>
