Odds On The Russian Grand Prix May Not Mean Much Now

We all knew it would happen sometime. They’ve come together before at Silverstone. So, we knew the odds on the F1 Drivers championship rivals crashing out together sometime were quite short. Fans also know odds on the Russian Grand Prix seeing a similar incident are also quite short. Neither one will change their driving style. So whilst you can bet on the Russian Grand Prix at online betting sites in Russia like Bet365, it’s quite a risky wager. Which only makes it more fun. 

Watching Max Verstappen’s car climb over Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes at Monza, you could hear the sighs of satisfaction from F1 fans. We were all waiting for this. We can always bet on Max Verstappen to push things a little too hard. Just like you can bet on Lewis Hamilton never backing down. So we all knew this would happen. The only surprise? No impromptu bout of fisticuffs trackside. Still the odds on the Russian Grand Prix seeing one are still quite short.

You will have your own view on who was at fault. Everyone has their opinion and, it appears, is willing to share it. Lewis didn’t leave enough room, Max was overly aggressive, take your pick. However, after that incident you’ll find the odds on the Russian Grand Prix slightly less enticing. What’s to stop it happening again? We who like to bet on sports in Russia at Bet365 know only too well neither one will change. So there’s every chance recent history will repeat itself.  

Max And Lewis Went To War At Monza And It’s Not Over Yet

Obviously whilst we can debate who was at fault the stewards on the day decided it was Max. He got a grid position penalty for the next race. So you’ll discover Max’s odds on the Russian Grand Prix are quite long. Sochi is a Mercedes track. They always win here. So, the odds on Lewis Hamilton getting a win are short to say the least. Plus, of course, you’ll see the odds on Max Verstappen getting hung up behind Lewis’ tail-gunner, Valtteri Bottas are even shorter.

Russian Grand Prix Odds 2021 

• Anyone Else – 100/1+
• Charles Leclerc – 66/1
• Daniel Ricciardo – 28/1
• George Russell – 25/1
• Sergio Perez – 25/1
• Lando Norris – 25/1
• Max Verstappen – 3/1
• Valtteri Bottas – 7/2
• Lewis Hamilton – 8/11

So you can bet on Mercedes watching Hamilton stroll off into the sunset whilst Bottas plays mobile roadblock. Want to guess at the odds on Red Bull watching in horror as Max and Valtteri do a Monza? Any Russian gambling laws of common sense will keep that from happening should pay more attention. There’s a reason drivers further down the order get shorter F1 odds at Bet365 now. Sure, they’re still long, but after Monza the bookies are taking fewer chances on it. 

Grab The Best Odds On The Russian Grand Prix At Bet365

After Monza the drivers, perhaps in lieu of a punch up, started a small war of words in the paddock. They both evidently think stoking the fire is a good idea. Naturally, you can bet on Red Bull to try and calm Max down a bit, but Mercedes will only support Hamilton’s passive-aggressive and disingenuous comments. He’s trying to turn a racing incident into attempted murder. So whilst he gets the best odds on the Russian Grand Prix don’t expect everyone to back him.

Bet On The F1 Drivers Championship

• Odds on Lewis Hamilton – Evens 
• Odds on Max Verstappen – 4/5

You can always bet on F1 descending to this level of animosity. They all start out respecting each other and by the end of the season could happily behead one another. So barring incident you can bet on Mercedes to win in Sochi. Thus taking up their odds on the Russian Grand Prix at online is no bad idea. However, incident is not unlikely. So when you hit up online sportsbook sites in Russia like Bet365 to check out their odds on F1, just beware. This season is only going to get crazier.
