Red Bull has been performing exceptionally well lately. In the four stages of the current F1 season, only Red Bull drivers have won, and in all races except for the Australian Grand Prix, they have taken the top two spots on the podium. As a result, after the fourth stage, Red Bull has already accumulated 180 points, and the gap between them and second-place Aston Martin is almost 100 points (93).
In the individual standings, things are much more interesting. Two friends and teammates are the main rivals. Max currently holds the top spot with 93 points, while Sergio is in second place, trailing the Dutchman by six points. Alonso is in third place but cannot compete with the Red Bull drivers (he has 60 points).
Max Verstappen could have won the pole position, but he made a mistake and had to abandon his lap in the third qualifying session. As a result, he will start in ninth place today. Sergio Perez won the first place on the starting grid with the best time of 1:26.841s, followed by Alonso (+0.361s) in second place, and Sainz (+0.508s) in third.
I was trying to push to the limit, and then made a mistake, which interrupted the session. After that, I had to rely on luck, hoping that the session wouldn't be stopped with red flags, but on such tracks it can happen. I'm just a little disappointed with myself, and tomorrow will be a tough challenge for us. But I made things harder for myself, that's for sure.
Before qualifying, this was my worst weekend, I couldn't figure out how to find those missing tenths that I was losing to Max and the Ferrari drivers all the time. I tried changing literally every setting, and then before qualifying, we made some more adjustments, and the car just came alive. We managed to put in a good lap when it mattered. Overall, it's been one of those weekends where due to balance issues, I lacked confidence, especially since the asphalt on this track is very specific and the level of grip changes with the temperature. I enjoy competing with Max Verstappen, but I take each race as it comes. I'm grateful to the team, they're doing a great job, and let's see how it all plays out tomorrow. On Sunday, we'll have another chance to succeed, starting from pole position, and we have nothing to lose. But we'll do everything we can to make the fans happy!
Expert Betting Tips
In this F1 season, only Red Bull drivers have managed to win on weekends, and we doubt that the upcoming one will be an exception. Yes, Max failed to qualify, but catching up with the top three won't be a problem, unlike getting past Sergio Perez. The Mexican won the pole position, and that's already half the battle. In our opinion, the best option for betting on the upcoming event is to bet on Perez to win.
