Unpredictable season set to keep fans guessing
There is little doubt that 2016 is going to be a year of change for Formula One.
With only three different drivers having won the championship in the last eight years, and only a handful of teams having enjoyed success in the constructor’s championship, the pressure on the sport’s authorities to inject Formula One with a dose of adrenaline has never been higher.
Certain changes are already in place, including the extension of the season to 21 races, with fans ready to enjoy the return of the German Grand Prix and get their teeth into the Grand Prix of Europe.
There will also be 22 cars on the grid in 2016, and the arrival of the Haas F1 Team, which will be represented by drivers Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez, should help to spice up the competition.
At this stage of the calendar, the big questions being asked by Formula One fans and betting enthusiasts are: Who will win the Drivers’ Championship, and which team will win the Constructors’ Championship? The latest odds favour a Lewis Hamilton/Mercedes combination quite heavily, but that could change between now and March as teams finalise their preparations and drivers work on their pre-season fitness regimes.
For those who want to take a look at the broader picture of Formula One betting, there are Driver Specials offered by various betting sites, allowing customers to, for example, take a gamble on the chances of Max Verstappen picking up the World Championship within the next five or 10 years. This is something you’d have to be brave to bet against, given the ability he has displayed so far in his career.
Formula One odds differ between betting destinations, but it is always worth investigating the bonuses and free betting opportunities that crop up throughout the season.
You might feel Hamilton is a dead cert to retain his title, and you might have already backed the Brit to pick up his fourth Championship. But sites will often run specials on the less favoured drivers who can produce some interesting odds.
Most sites offer free bets when you first sign up or make your first deposit, while promotional offers at sites like Bonus.ca consistently offer sports betting bonuses to players using various online slots games. You can enjoy the difference between real and bonus money when using these sites, whether placing a bet or taking advantage of some free spins to get involved in slots and casino games.
With less than two months to go until the season begins on March 20th in Australia, and 21 races to enjoy before the season concludes in Abu Dhabi on November 27th, there is guaranteed to be plenty of twists and turns to make 2016 a year for Formula One fans to remember.
