F1 returns for the second weekend in a row as the grid heads to Barcelona, Spain for the Spanish GP. We look at this week’s race from a betting angle and offer up a few suggested bets for your consideration.
PREVIOUS RACE – Monaco GP
Lando Norris got his second win of the season last weekend in Monaco after qualifying first and going on to win the race. Charles Leclerc had a solid performance to finish in second while Oscar Piastri finished in third place. Max Verstappen missed out on a podium spot after finishing in fourth place.
CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE
Oscar Piastri 161 points
Lando Norris 158 points
Max Verstappen 136 points
George Russell 99 points
Lando Norris closed the gap to Piastri to only three points after his win last weekend. This has caused a change in the odds for the Driver Championship. Oscar Piastri is trading at 2.20 while the bookies have Lando at 2.60. Max Verstappen is currently at 4.00.

VERDICT
Norris is coming off the back of a brilliant first win at the Monaco GP and his second win of the season. He managed to put in a really good performance at last year's Spanish GP finishing just behind Verstappen. Given his momentum and course form I am backing him to win his third race of the season. This bet comes with money back for 2nd place insurance – see details below.
Suggested Bet: Lando Norris to win at 2.85.

Charles Leclerc put in a brilliant performance last weekend as he finished second in his home race. He will be hungry to carry this form into this week and knows he needs to put in a big performance if Ferrari want to get ahead of Mercedes. I think he has the opportunity to get another podium finish this weekend.
Suggested Bet: Charles Leclerc podium finish at 2.75.
