Bet On The 2020 Australian Grand Prix For Drama-Drama-Drama

You can always bet on F1 to plague itself with issues. This season appears no different. Just when we thought Mercedes’ new variable angle steering column would top the hot topics, the FIA pull this. Their investigation into the engine Ferrari used last year was exhaustive. The conclusions detailed. The deal reached with Ferrari secret. This does not instill a lot of faith in the fairness of the process, does it? Just ask any of those who fancy a bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix.

If the fans are unimpressed, the rest of the teams are furious. Angry coordinated press releases threatened legal action if the result wasn’t revealed. The teams were united. (Well, except Haas and Alfa Romeo both of which use Ferrari engines.) Did Ferrari cheat in 2019? They want to know. Alas, this does nothing to make a bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix attractive. Not that the odds on Ferrari at online betting sites in Australia like Unibet were all that enticing.

2020 Drivers Championship

• Anyone Else – 350/1+
• Alexander Albon – 125/1
• Sebastian Vettel – 10/1
• Valtteri Bottas – 5/1
• Charles Leclerc – 13/2
• Max Verstappen – 9/2
• Lewis Hamilton – 13/25

Were Ferrari Cheating In 2019?

Everyone always knew this season would run in the shadow of the rule changes in 2021. That it would be akin to the last day of a school term. That’s why Mercedes have rolled out new tech and the FIA thought it could draw a line under last year. Why would anyone complain? They must have reasoned. It’s not like Ferrari actually won. Indeed if you check out the prices for that bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix it appears that won’t change. 6/1 for a bet on Charles Leclerc? Oh dear.

You can get better betting odds on Red Bull. Max Verstappen gets 7/2 if you bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix winner right now. That’s not bad. I mean Max won’t win unless both Mercedes DNF, but it’s better than Ferrari. So, the online sportsbook sites in Australia like Unibet aren’t even sure you’ll see Ferrari in the top three finishers. That bet on Mercedes, meanwhile, looks safe as houses. Unibet will give you but 1/5 for a bet on Lewis Hamilton.

Bet On The 2020 Australian Grand Prix At Unibet

Naturally, a lot of you who like to bet on sports in Australia may consider all this a bit unimportant.  F1 has stated the race will go ahead. They may well curtail public gatherings. Not that I would bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix vanishing. Cancelation of the season opener? No, that would send entirely the wrong message, wouldn’t it?

2020 Australian F1 GP Odds

• Anyone Else – 200/1+
• Alexander Albon – 50/1
• Sebastian Vettel – 8/1
• Charles Leclerc – 6/1
• Max Verstappen – 7/2
• Valtteri Bottas – 3/1
• Lewis Hamilton – 5/4

So, with the press hounding Ferrari, Mercedes waggling their wheels and the FIA demonstrating how inept they are already, F1 is back. The question everyone who may yet bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix is asking, is; For how long? MotoGP has seen races canceled, China has “postponed” their F1 GP. So, it’s not looking good. Which is why you may as well bet on the first race. It may be the last.

We take a look at why you can bet on the 2020 Australian Grand Prix to be drama laden…….if it goes ahead.
