A podium for Max Verstappen is not out of the question in Russia, although the Dutchman has a big task. A bet on Verstappen reaching the top three could bring in some money, but the Red Bull driver will have to battle through the midfield.
Hamilton favourite to win
At Unibet, a bet on Verstappen finishing in the top three is 7/4 (or 2.75 in decimals). Lewis Hamilton is still the favourite to win the race in Russia, despite his disappointing qualifying. Generally speaking, a Hamilton win is 17/20. Do you expect Norris to take his first win in the premier class of motorsport from pole position? That is good for 11/4.
Carlos Sainz is certainly not expected to be the first to cross the finishing line from the front row. With odds of 14/1, the bookies are even more confident of a Bottas win (from P7) at 10/1.
