Hamilton, Leclerc Betting Value On Top-3 & Winning Car Odds
To put it simply, Ferrari is due for a strong outing after a slow start to their season. Hamilton, after 10 top-5 finishes and three top-3 finishes last season, has finished fifth and eighth in two races thus far. As for Leclerc, he had a massive 21 top-5 finishes last year which included 13 top-3 finishes, and has none of each this season.
Signs are pointing towards there being plenty of betting value on F1 betting sites for both Hamilton and Leclerc to have strong outings such as their sprints, qualifying races, and practices. They are getting better each week in those practice runs that it has to pay off.
Lewis Hamilton specifically had a strong practice run prior to the Chinese Grand Prix where he totaled four top-5 finishes and two first place finishes. Leclerc is coming off of three top-5 finishes including a second-place finish in his practices last week.
The confidence should continue to grow for the Ferrari teammates going into the Japanese GP leaving decent value on their odds ahead of the race.
