Lando Norris granted punters their wishes in Melbourne, winning the season opener as expected. More of the same is expected from the McLaren frontman as the teams touch down in Shanghai for the first sprint weekend of the season. Norris starts as the favorite on this tight track, while Max Verstappen is looking to defend the crown he won here a year ago.
Staying on Pole: 67% of drivers in pole position have won the Chinese GP since 2015
Limited Grid Change: 68% of the top 3 qualifiers since 2015 have crossed the line in a podium position.
Fastest Lap: The 45th lap is when drivers tend to clock their fastest lap.
Tight Track: A tight layout offers few overtaking opportunities, leading to little change in the grid.
Top 5 Finish: 77% of the fastest five qualifiers finish inside the top five since 2015.
My First Bet: Early picks and predictions for F1 Chinese Grand Prix
After finishing sixth in the sprint at Shanghai International Race Circuit last year, Lando Norris bounced back to claim second in the Grand Prix. He is poised to go one better on this visit, with clear conditions forecast for the weekend. The Brit enters with short odds at +100, and deservedly so.
Oscar Piastri is quietly going about his business while his teammate enjoys the hype. The Australian was brilliant in front of his home crowd a week ago, until he spun off the track. He forced his way back into the race and managed to collect two points for McLaren. In drier conditions, he’s a threat to his teammate and offers value to bettors at +300.
Defending Champion Max Verstappen will not make it easy for Lando Norris, but his car is an issue. “Mad Max” only finished 0.895 seconds behind Norris in Melbourne, but in better conditions, the Red Bull vehicles may struggle to compete with a well-oiled McLaren design.
