Azerbaijan GP Betting Preview: Vettel, Hamilton, or an Upset?

2018 Azerbaijan GP betting previews have to take into account two contradictory considerations. One, the favorites are obviously Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. Two, the history of the circuit suggests that unexpected results are also imaginable.

Last year’s Azerbaijan GP betting odds looked very much like they do this year: Hamilton or Vettel was expected to win. The race had a few surprises in store, though, including Vettel’s running into Hamilton twice under the second safety car. This resulted in the two favorites not even making it to the podium. The question is whether Formula One history will repeat itself.

The Chances of An Upset

While last year was the first time the Azerbaijan GP was held, its circuit, the Baku City Circuit, hosted one more Formula One motor race: the 2016 European GP. That was a less surprising race, dominated by the driver who would later win the 2016 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship, Nico Rosberg.
