Aston Martin was the main surprise of the preseason tests of Formula 1. Everyone agrees, and even part of the specialized press from the motor world sees it Fernando Alonso it’s his AMR23 with the ability to fight with good weapons to overcome Ferrari and Mercedes in the fight for the podium in the first race of the year in Bahrain. These sensations are transferred to the bookmakers, where the possibilities begin to be seen that Fernando Alonso is once again in the leading group, along with the always theoretical three favorite teams.
Will he win even one race?
An example of this, for example, can be found in a bookmaker like ‘Bet365’. In the bid for drivers who can win at least one race throughout the year 2023, Fernando Alonso is the only driver from the teams that were in the middle zone last year to join the odds of the favorites. Verstappen has a fee of 1,001 per euro bet. They are followed by Leclerc (1.02), Hamilton (1.05), Pérez (1.10), Sainz (1.10), George Russell (1.28) and after Fernando Alonso appeared with a fee of 1.50 per euro bet.
But from there, the difference is huge. The next to appear is Lando Norris, who already has a quota of 8.00, and Lance Stroll, despite driving an Aston Martin (his participation in the first race is doubtful due to a bicycle accident), has a quota which is 8.00, followed by Gasly and Ocon, both with 11.00.
Favorites to win in Bahrain
Another type of bet is who will win the F1 Bahrain GP. In the house of ‘Bwin’, the great favourite, Verstappen, has odds of 1.85 for his possible victory in the first event of the year. They are followed by Leclerc (4.50), Hamilton (9.00), Pérez (9.00), Sainz (11.00), Russell (17.00), and with the same quota as the young Englishman from Mercedes is Fernando Alonso (17.00).
After Asturian there is a big leap. The next to appear is Stroll with 151 (because it is not known if he will participate in Bahrain) then there is Ocon, Gasly, Bottas and Zhou with 251 euros per euro at stake. Later, Piastri and hülkenberg bet with a payoff of 501 euros per euro.
