How to Bet On the Austrian Grand Prix

Ferrari and Mercedes have been the top manufacturers in the race in the twenty-first century, although Red Bull has become a competitor in the past few years. Nine drivers have won this race more than once, with Jo Siffert, Alain Prost, and Max Verstappen having won three times. Mika Hakkinen, Michael Schumacher, and Valtteri Bottas are among the two-time winners of this race. Other stars to have won the race include Jacky Ickx, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jacques Villeneuve, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc.

The Austrian Grand Prix is a thrilling race on the Formula One calendar, and it provides you with plenty of betting options.

Popular Austrian Grand Prix Bets

Race Winner

The most prominent bet you can place on the Austrian Grand Prix is the race winner bet. You will pick which of the twenty drivers in the race will be the outright winner.

For example, the 2022 edition of the Austrian Grand Prix had Max Verstappen as the favorite to win. Charles Leclerc, the eventual winner, had slightly longer odds than he did and Nicholas Latifi had the worst odds.

Podium Finish

A podium finish bet is a bet on a driver to finish in the top three. You will win your bet if your selected driver finishes in any of those three spots. This wagering option is ideal for people who want to bet on a driver but want more flexibility. For example, you could bet on Verstappen or Leclerc to finish in the top three.

Correct Finishers

A correct finisher bet involves correctly predicting who will finish in first, second, or third place. It is more specific than a podium finish bet, as you feel a racer will be good enough to either win or fall short. However, as it is harder to predict, the odds are longer.

Which Car Will Win?

A wager for which car will win the Austrian Grand Prix refers to the car's constructor. Instead of betting on a single driver, you are betting on either driver from a constructor team to win.

For example, you could bet on McLaren-Mercedes to win the race. Your bet will win if Lando Norris or Daniel Ricciardo, the drivers for McLaren-Mercedes, win the race. You could also place a bet on Alfa Romeo-Ferrari to wager that either Valtteri Bottas or Zhou Guanyu will win

Which Country Will Win?

Like every Formula One race, the Austrian Grand Prix has drivers representing multiple countries. You can place a wager that a driver from a specific country will win. For example, you can bet on Germany if you predict Mick Schumacher or Sebastian Vettel will win.

Some wagering options only have one driver represented, so you are essentially betting on that single driver. For example, a wager on Thailand to win would mean you're betting on only Alexander Albon to win.

Fastest Lap

The fastest lap wager is a bet on which driver will have the fastest lap during the race. The odds for this wager typically appear after qualifying, as it gives people an idea of which drivers might perform the best on the track.

For the 2022 race, Max Verstappen had the fastest qualifying lap at 1:04.984. He had the best odds for the fastest lap. He ended up having the fastest lap during the actual race at 1:07.25, so anyone who bet on Verstappen would have won.

A driver who struggles during qualification will likely have worse odds. Lance Stroll was in seventeenth place after the first qualifying round and did not participate in the other two. Anyone who bet on him to have the fastest lap would have received very generous odds, but would have lost their bet.

Live Bets

You can bet on the Austrian Grand Prix as it is taking place. The odds for who will win the race will change as it progresses. For instance, if Pierre Gasly had 1001.00 odds at the start and suddenly got to fifth place midway through the race, his odds could climb to 51.00. However, those odds would quickly change if he falls behind or loses ground.
