BETTING GUIDE: Who are the favourites as F1 heads to Spain?

As Formula 1 arrives in Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix, the final leg of a triple header, betting odds from ALT Sports Data provide insight into who might emerge victorious. Despite Lando Norris's recent triumph in Monaco, Oscar Piastri is surprisingly tipped as the favorite for the win in Barcelona, holding a slim three-point lead in the championship. Norris follows closely in the odds, with Max Verstappen, a multiple winner at this circuit including his maiden F1 victory in 2016, not far behind. For a podium finish, the McLaren duo and Verstappen are heavily favored. George Russell of Mercedes also has decent odds for a top-three result, despite his team's challenging Monaco weekend. Charles Leclerc, who secured a season-best P2 in Monaco, is another strong contender for a podium. Looking at top-six finishes, Lewis Hamilton aims to extend his consistent performance, while Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes will be looking to bounce back after a tough Monaco outing. In the battle for a top-ten finish, Yuki Tsunoda seeks to return to the points after a difficult Monaco. Williams' Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, who had a strong Monaco, are also contenders. Racing Bulls, bolstered by a double points finish in Monaco from Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson, hope to replicate their success. For qualifying, Piastri is favored to take pole position, having already secured three poles this season, closely followed by Monaco polesitter Norris. McLaren is the overwhelming favorite to win the team constructor race, despite Red Bull and Mercedes' recent dominance at this circuit, signifying a strong vote of confidence in the Woking-based outfit.
