Max Verstappen third favourite to win this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix
Betting odds are now available with UK Betting Sites for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix with Max Verstappen looking to win consecutive races for the first time this season.
We've seen three different winners in the opening three races of the season with Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri all finishing in P1.

What the expert says...
McLaren drivers top two in the betting market to win in Bahrain
McLaren need to hit back this weekend to kick on their season after a tough race in Suzuka which saw Lando Norris say that the team "could have tried more with strategy".
Despite disappointment in Suzuka, McLaren still sit 36 points clear in the constructors' championship after the opening three races of the campaign.
Verstappen showed just how good he is as a driver to pull out a win when his Red Bull car seems well behind the McLarens but that is why he is a four time World Champion.
