Venue: Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

Lando Norris remains the main man for McLaren, with the Brit having demonstrated an array of excellent performances in the car in recent seasons. However, Piastri looks to have a better handle on things currently and McLaren’s team planning will come under scrutiny once again here in Saudi Arabia. Max Verstappen was noted by his absence in Bahrain, but he can never be discarded, while Mercedes are beginning to show signs that they are getting a foothold on this campaign, with George Russell finding some form.

Oscar Piastri – $2.50

By complete contrast, Norris’s McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri is in great form, and he will be desperate to keep his title charge going here. Backing up his strong showing in Japan with a good win in Bahrain has propelled him into the mix behind Lando Norris in the race to be crowned world champion and could McLaren entrust him with their title push? Consistency is the next step for Piastri, with his driving credentials undoubted and he will be eager to kick on and pick up a 3^rd win of the season here in Saudi Arabia.

Max Verstappen – $11.00

Max Verstappen and Red Bull endured a quiet week in Bahrain, with the Dutchman managing a 6^th placed finish and he will be looking to go again here in Saudi Arabia. Ascertaining where Verstappen and this Red Bull car is at this season is not easy, with plenty of indifferent performances but there is no doubting that Verstappen has the potential to be firmly in the mix here. Getting a good couple of outings in qualifying and transitioning that into the race is key for Verstappen and he will be chasing down the McLaren top two hard this weekend.
