Formula 1. Chinese Grand Prix: betting tip and bets for the race

George Russell is considered the main favorite of the upcoming weekend at the Shanghai International Circuit. The British pilot is in great shape. After a landslide victory on the Melbourne stage at the Australian Grand Prix, he arrives in China as the leader of the Formula 1 championship.

The Mercedes W17 car demonstrates excellent performance with rubber and high efficiency of the power plant, including the engine and battery. These characteristics are especially important for the long straights of the Shanghai circuit, where speed and cornering stability play a key role. In addition, Russell is now showing an almost flawless pace in qualifying and confidently controls the races on the course.

Do not forget that the Shanghai circuit is traditionally considered one of the most successful for Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion holds the record for the most wins at the Chinese Grand Prix — he has six triumphs to his credit. Moreover, last year the Briton confidently won the sprint race here.

If we take into account the competitive form of Ferrari, we can expect a serious fight with Mercedes at the Chinese stage. This could make the race in Shanghai one of the most intriguing at the beginning of the season.
