Bahrain Grand Prix Preview

The Formula 1 roadshow stops in Bahrain this week for the season's second grand prix. After Mercedes dominated in Australia, it may be time for Ferrari to hit back and we take a look at the betting opportunities with these Formula One tips.

Sebastian Vettel to Win @ 3/1 - BET NOW

Having been forced to play second fiddle to Mercedes and, in particular, Lewis Hamilton in recent years, it seemed Vettel might be about to turn the tables as the Italian marque scorched through pre-season testing in Barcelona. However, there were pace issues in Melbourne and it was the same old story for the German, with Ferrari seemingly perplexed as to why they could not match the Mercedes duo.

That state of affairs will surely not continue and even Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has stated that he fully expects Ferrari to bounce back at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Given an even playing field, there is no question that Vettel is the match of anyone around, with four world titles under his belt from his days with Red Bull.

Wolff feels "the fight has just begun" and suggested that Red Bull might also be major players this weekend, but it is Vettel who has form at Bahrain International Circuit. He has four wins on the track and took the chequered flag in both 2017 and 2018. Formula 1 betting on him will be popular and may well pay dividends this time around.

Bahrain Grand Prix Betting Tips

Daniil Kvyat Top-10 Finish @ 6/5 - BET NOW

Russia's Kvyat secured 10th place at Albert Park to kick off his campaign with a point and I feel he can repeat the dose this time around. Formula 1 odds of 6/5 seem generous for a man who has two top-10s in the race, while also finishing 11th in 2014. His Toro Rosso may not have the pace of the leading lights, but he knows how to get around this circuit and has the ability to get back into the top 10.

Still only 24, there is certainly more to come from Kvyat and it would be no surprise to see him ruffle a few feathers in 2019. A podium finish may be beyond the youngster although you should expect to see him in the right half of the field in the Middle East.

Bahrain Grand Prix Predictions

Valtteri Bottas to Win @ 3/1 - BET NOW

Bottas was the toast of Melbourne after stepping out of Hamilton's shadow to take the season-opener and, despite that win, he is a decent price to make it two from two. Hamilton will no doubt be wary of his team-mate and will not want to see him slide by once again, but there is no doubt the Finn is ready to walk the walk this year.

He disappointed last season, with no wins, but having put that to bed early in the proceedings, he will now want to challenge for the title. It remains to be seen if he can sustain it although there is no reason why Bottas should not win more races this term. I feel Vettel will be strongest here, with Bottas and Hamilton not far behind.
