<p>Here we go, it’s a European F1 triple-header starting with the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.</p> <p>Max Verstappen – who returned to the top of the podium in Canada – has won the last two Spanish Grand Prix races.</p> <p>McLaren continue to look strong with Lando Norris finishing 2nd in Montreal and Aussie Oscar Piastri 5th. Mercedes also had a good showing in Canada, with George Russell on the podium and Lewis Hamilton right behind him in 4th.</p> <p>The big questions this week will be around Ferrari after their disastrous no points, double-DNF performance in Montreal.</p> <p>This has not been a great circuit for Ferrari either, with no podium since 2017 and two DNF’s in the last four years for Charles Leclerc.</p> <p>In fact, none of Verstappen’s main challengers – Leclerc, Norris, Piastri or Sainz – has every appeared on an F1 podium in Spain.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Spanish Grand Prix Betting Tips</h2> <h3>Best Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-spanish-grand-prix-8312644">Max Verstappen $1.53 (Fastest Qualifier)</a></p> <p>This one hasn’t clicked for two weeks, but I expect normal service to resume this weekend in Barcelona and Max to grab his eighth pole of the year. Price has dropped a bit, but still good for a multi.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Next Best</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-spanish-grand-prix-8312644">Max Verstappen to Win the Race &amp; Oscar Piastri to Finish in the Points $1.72 (BYO Sportsbet)</a></p> <p>Max is obviously the strong favourite to win the race and barring a catastrophe, Oscar should finish in the top 10.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Value Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-spanish-grand-prix-8312644">Lando Norris $5.75 (Outright Betting)</a></p> <p>A bit of a longshot – hence the price – but if Max falters, you’d back the red-hot Norris to cross the line first. Charles Leclerc is much longer odds ($13) given the uncertainties around the Ferrari upgrades, but if you’re a Prancing Horse lover, this could be worth a shot.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Piastri Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-spanish-grand-prix-8312644">Oscar Piastri $1.32 (Top 6 Finish) or $3.50 (Podium Finish)</a></p> <p>Two options here, a shorter one to put into a multi or a value bet if you think Oscar can finish in the top three. Also consider the Next Best bet, which also includes Piastri.</p> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h3>Ricciardo Bet</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/formula-1/f1-spanish-grand-prix-8312644">Daniel Ricciardo $2.12 (Points Finish)</a></p> <p>Perhaps inspired by Jacques Villeneuve’s harsh criticism, Danny Ric turned in a tremendous performance in Montreal, qualifying 5th and finishing 8th in the race. Can he do the same in Spain? It’s a big ask but once again the Yes To be Classified bet is way too short ($1.12). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Odds are subject to change.</p>
