Qatar Grand Prix Preview

Last years race was brutal for drivers as the temperature was insanely high causing several drivers to get sick, and Logan Sargeant even retired from the race due to illness. This year’s race will not be as hot so I expect the drivers to be good here.

The Drivers Championship has been decided with Verstappen locking up the title, but the teams will still be fighting for position in the Constructors Championship. Mercedes looked incredible last week, but this track and these conditions are very different.

Qatar Grand Prix Double Top 6

Ferrari (-150)

I think Ferrari could shine here as they managed a double top 4 last week despite their trouble with tyre wear. The McLaren’s have regressed, and Verstappen isn’t really racing for anything so this is a great chance for Ferrari to have a great showing.

Leclerc finished 5th here last year, but Ferrari has improved this season and I wouldn’t be surprised to see one or both drivers near the front.

Qatar Grand Prix Last Classified Driver

Valterri Bottas (+275)

Zhou surprised everyone with a 13th place qualifying run and finish which left his teammate as the last place car running at the end, and I think that could happen again.

Bottas is probably retiring, but Zhou looked motivated last week, and the car looked solid (the colder temperatures helped him), and maybe that’s where the Sauber’s are putting resources.

The Sauber’s are the slowest cars so if Bottas is running at the end he’ll be last or very close to it again. This price is too good to pass up.

Qatar Grand Prix: Top 4 Finish

Carlos Sainz (+125)

Sainz has finished Top 3 in 3 out of the last 4 races, and outside of the disasterous race in Brazil, he’s been a contender for podium so I love this price.

As mentioned before, the McLaren’s have fallen off, Verstappen has already wrapped up the Championship, and the colder temperatures helped Mercedes a lot last week so I see a nice situation for Sainz and Ferrari.
