Formula 1 Heads to Melbourne: Verstappen Eyes Triple Win at the Australian Grand Prix

The Formula 1 World Championship flies from Jeddah to Melbourne where, on Sunday, the Australian Grand Prix is scheduled, marking the third championship event of the season. As always, the man to beat is Max Verstappen who, after winning the first two races of the season, is firmly aiming for a triple win. The three-time world champion is the favorite, according to experts at Sisal, at 1.60 for the pole position while the odds for winning the race drop to 1.36. The most credible rival for the Dutchman from Red Bull remains Charles Leclerc. The triumph of the Monegasque is played at 9.00 while a pole position start is offered at 3.00. Sergio Perez, always second behind team leader Verstappen in the season, is ready to seize the opportunity and his success is given at 9.00. A separate discussion deserves Lewis Hamilton, on one side, and McLaren on the other. The triumph of the number 44 of Mercedes would pay 25 times the stake. McLaren, on the contrary, is the team that, more than any other in Formula 1, can boast successes in Australian soil, a total of eleven. The most recent, however, is 12 years away when Jenson Button led the English car to triumph. Twelve as the victories that McLaren dreams of achieving in Melbourne next weekend, a scenario that is offered at 12.
