The 2023 Qatar Grand Prix is an event in which drivers can win ranking points in several ways. On Saturday, October 7, the Qatar GP sprint shootout will take place, in which the winner will get 8 points. If Max Verstappen wins the sprint, he will secure his third F1 World title.

If not, he’ll get another chance on Sunday, October 8 when the 2023 Qatar GP race will take place at Lusail International Circuit in Lusail.

Max Verstappen Going for Another F1 Win

Max Verstappen is favored to win the Qatar Grand Prix sprint shootout. We believe he will pull it off, thus securing the Formula 1 title for the 2023 season. This, however, doesn’t mean he’ll give up on the actual race. On the contrary, you can be 100% certain that he wants to win the Qatar GP on Sunday.

The reason? This is one of only three races on the Formula 1 calendar that he still hasn’t won. There’s a simple explanation as to why that is the case, though. This event was held only once so far. It happened two years ago when we saw Lewis Hamilton triumph. Verstappen finished second in that race, but he did record the fastest lap.

Fast-forward to 2023, and Verstappen seems much, much better than Hamilton and all the other drivers in Formula 1. He also has the best car, as well as the best team of mechanics to support him.

Sergio Perez Eying a Podium Finish

Max Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing teammate is second in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship standings with 177 points fewer than the Dutchman. The chance of him getting to the top is almost nonexistent. In fact, his goal for the 2023 season is to finish second.

He’s 33 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the standings, and with six races left on the 2023 F1 calendar, his spot isn’t safe yet. He had a chance to increase the lead over Hamilton in Japan, but due to a crash, he had to retire from the race.

Now, he’s hoping to win some points, finishing on the podium in the best-case scenario. He does have what it takes to win this race, but only if his teammate Verstappen lets him. That might happen if the Dutchman wins the F1 title on Saturday.

2023 Qatar Grand Prix Prediction

Our Qatar GP prediction is that one of the Red Bull Racing drivers will win Sunday’s race. Verstappen is the favorite for a reason, but we wouldn’t be too shocked if +1100 Perez upsets the odds.

Pick: Max Verstappen to win; Perez to finish on the podium

Verstappen’s car failed him last weekend, which is why he ended outside the podium for the first time this season. The Red Bull Racing driver, however, is expected to bounce right back to the top with a win at the 2023 Japanese GP. His car problems are over, while his desire to win is unquestionable. This explains why he’s a -350 favorite to win on September 24. Will he do it? Let’s find out!

Max Verstappen Is Determined to Get Back to the Winning Track

Fifteen races have been run thus far in the 2023 Formula 1 season. Twelve of those were won by the reigning champ, Max Verstappen. In two of the three races that he failed to win, he finished second, right behind his Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Perez. However, in the most recent race, both of them finished outside the podium.

Verstappen finished fifth, which is actually a pretty decent success as he had some big problems with his car during the qualification. In fact, he did poorly on Saturday, booking the No. 11 place on the grid. He also had some tire problems during the race, which is why it’s actually a great success that he managed to finish in the top 5.

Can Someone Upset the Odds Again?

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. was the one who won the race last week, can he do it again? The Japanese GP odds suggest that he cannot. He’s in the shared fourth place on the list of favorites, with the F1 odds of +1800, the same as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. That said, Sergio Perez (+1100) and Lando Norris (+1400) seem more likely to challenge the No. 1 spot on the podium.

When it comes to Hamilton, the legendary British driver used to be discussed as one of the best F1 competitions in history. However, he’s been without a win in almost two years. Maybe it’s time for that to change? Probably not, although we could see him finish on the podium on Sunday, which would be his fifth time this season.

2023 Japanese Grand Prix Prediction

Max Verstappen will win the Japanese GP on September 24. He’s the best driver in F1, as well as someone who’s got the best car and the best team to support him. The blunder at Singapore last weekend was nothing but a glitch and the Dutchman will get back onto the winning track ASAP.

Pick: Max Verstappen to win

Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix announced that Jacks.nl, a Dutch gambling company, will serve as one of its principal sponsors. From 2024 onwards, the operator will join the list of the Dutch Grand Prix’s partners, which includes major companies such as Pon, Heineken, Radio 538 and Jumbo.

Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix’s sporting director, Jan Lammers, praised Jacks.nl as a company “with passion for motorsport.” He said that the two parties share the same values, which is why Jacks.nl is a welcome addition to the Dutch Grand Prix family.

Lammers said that the partnership is set to “add a new dimension” to the experience during the week at Zandvoort.

Jacks.nl representatives also shared their thoughts on the tie-up with Eric Olders, the operator’s board chairman, highlighting his team’s commitment to the racing and sports sectors. According to him, the new partnership suits his company perfectly.

Olders promised that Jacks.nl will work besides the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix to promote the operator’s services in a safe and responsible fashion.

The fantastic combination of the excitement and entertainment at the Dutch Grand Prix is what you see reflected in the gaming experience that we also offer with our services. And then obviously just like in Formula 1 with the right measuring instruments and safety measures to be able to experience that excitement in a controlled way.

Motorsport is in JVH’s Capillaries

Norbert Kout, chief marketing officer at JVH gaming & entertainment, Jacks.nl’s parent company, also commented on the matter. He noted that the group has been active in the motorsport sector for years.

Kout pointed to JACK’s Racing Day on the circuit in Assen as one of the events sponsored by the company, as well as to the media partnership with Ziggo Race Café, which is broadcast around all Grand Prix events. Finally, he noted that his team also sponsors Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux. The CMO concluded that the aforementioned deals highlight JVH’s commitment to motorsports.

Kout concluded: “So car and motorsport is in our capillaries. The big step to the Dutch Grand Prix is actually a logical continuation of what we already do in racing.”

It’s time for the third Formula 1 race of the 2023 season, and the winners of the first two – Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez – are the top two betting favorites to win the Australian GP on Sunday.

If the oddsmakers are right, it means that we’ll see Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT record the third win of the season. Of course, the people from Ferrari are determined not to let that happen. Will they succeed in ruining their rival’s plans? Let’s find out!

2023 Australian Grand Prix Odds

Max Verstappen Coming to Australia as a  -300 Favorite

The reigning F1 champ is the only driver with minus odds, suggesting that bookies are convinced he’s going to win the 2022 Australian Grand Prix. If he does win, it’s going to be his first-ever triumph in Australia.

The fact that he’s never won the race in Melbourne actually isn’t too much of his fault. Last season, he finished second, grabbing an extra point for the fastest lap. The man who won the last year’s event is Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. However, oddsmakers don’t think he’s going to do it again.

Charles Leclerc & Ferrari Dreaming of Victories

The last time a driver from Ferrari won an F1 race was in July 2022 when Charles Leclerc won the Austrian GP. It was his third and final win of the season. The other two happened in Bahrain and Australia.

In 2023, the Bahrain Grand Prix has already been driven. It was a disaster for Leclerc, but not because of something he did. Instead, his car malfunctioned, forcing him to abandon the race.

In the second race of the 2023 F1 season, things went slightly better for him. Leclerc finished seventh, which isn’t great for his standards, but there’s one thing that’s giving him hope – he was second in the qualifying classification.

2023 Australian Grand Prix Prediction

Obviously, Max Verstappen is the best driver in the world in 2023, so betting against him would be crazy. We do think he’s going to triumph at the 2023 Australian GP, but so do the bookies. Priced at -300, the Dutchman just isn’t too tempting an option for bettors.

Instead, his rival from Ferrari might be a better bet. Charles Leclerc probably won’t win this race, but we can see him get on the podium.

Pick: Charles Leclerc to finish in the top 3
