Bahrain Grand Prix Pick and Prediction
| ODDS | AI PICKS |
| PODIUM FINISH | Lewis Hamilton +150 |
Max Verstappen dominates the GP Bahrain betting. As the Dutchman bids to pick up from where he left off in 2023. Red Bull have adopted a new concept for 2024, which raised questions after their dominant season last term after winning all but one of the races on the schedule. Verstappen will be one of the popular GP Bahrain AI picks, but there is little value in siding with the Dutchman at -325.
Therefore, a chance is taken on the Mercedes landing a morale-boosting win on the opening day after an impressive pre-season testing period. Lewis Hamilton could be a solid selection to end his long wait for a race win in his final season with the team. Alternatively, one of the safer F1 AI picks could be for the Brit to finish on the podium.
GP Bahrain Betting Odds
The GP Bahrain betting shows Max Verstappen as the clear -325 favorite this weekend. His Red Bull teammate, Sergio Perez, is also prominent in the betting at +1200. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is the second favorite at +900, with Lewis Hamilton available at +1600.
Lando Norris is a +2000 chance this weekend for an improving McLaren, which is the same price as Carlos Sainz and George Russell.
Bahrain Grand Prix Analysis
Red Bull Preview
Red Bull enjoyed one of the most dominant seasons in the history of F1 last term after finishing the campaign at the top of the Constructors’ F1 standings after winning a staggering 95.45% of the races. No team in F1 history has won a higher percentage of races, making their decision to completely alter their concept a strange one.
They followed the concept adopted by Mercedes in the last two seasons. But they expect better results. Verstappen will be aiming to end the season as the world champion for the fourth straight campaign. Meanwhile there is pressure on Sergio Perez, with growing rumors that his contract won’t be renewed for 2025.
Mercedes Preview
Toto Wolff admitted at pre-season testing that the team had got the regulations wrong in the last two seasons, and the change in concept would have been like music to the ears of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. The Brit revealed that he asked for major changes in 2022. His recommendations have now to listen it.
The dynamic within the team will be one of the most fascinating aspects when it comes to the GP Bahrain race after the groundbreaking news that Hamilton will be departing for Ferrari in 2025. But, the record-breaking world champion has reiterated his desire to win a world-record championship with the team in 2024.
Ferrari Preview
Ferrari will once again face huge pressure to deliver results this term, and positives would have been taken from their performances at the end of last season after pushing Red Bull closest in the final few races. It is also worth noting that they were the only other team to claim victory in one of the F1 races in 2023.
However, the GP Bahrain odds appear to be undecided surrounding their chances this weekend, and they are outsiders in the F1 odds to win the Constructors’ Championship. On pure pace, they could hold leading claims in Bahrain this weekend.
