Our Saudi Arabia Grand Prix preview can give you some hints

The Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir was a fine opening round of the season, although it did not produce any remarkable results. What shall we expect from the second race? The Saudi Arabia GP 2024 preview can give you some hints.

Saudi Arabia GP 2024 Preview After the Past Race

The opening GP in Bahrain ended with the best five teams - Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, and Aston Martin - taking the top spots at the end of the race. Unsurprisingly, Max Verstappen took the win, finishing ahead of his teammate Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari. The race had just finished when the first conflicts of the season started to unveil. We had the Riccardo vs. Tsunoda beef at the end of the race when Tsunoda let his RB teammate Riccardo through. When asked if he could get his place back, Tsunoda was rejected, and after the finish, he openly showed his frustration, almost colliding with Riccardo, who called him a “f**king helmet”. Also, on a more serious note, we have Jos Verstappen against Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner. Verstappen, apparently, told his friends that his son Max “will leave the team if they have to”. It is noteworthy to note that Jos was one of the few people who said that Horner should step down as the team principal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEvR-dx_ZME&pp=ygUjTWF4IFZlcnN0YXBwZW4gU2F1ZGkgQXJhYmlhIEdQIDIwMjQ%3D The conflict may be crucial to Formula 1’s future because if Max leaves, he might join the vacant seat at Mercedes in 2025. Use online gambling sites in Australia to bet on this turn of events. More reports say that even if Helmuth Marko leaves Red Bull, Max can also quit the team. This, in turn, may provoke Adrian Newey, Red Bull's chief constructor, to abandon the team as well. Whichever team Newey goes to is guaranteed to win everything in two years or so.

Saudi Arabia Grand Prix Odds From the Bookies

Will all those conflicts affect the next Grand Prix at Jeddah? This is unlikely since the conflicts are only evolving at this time. They might tear Red Bull apart in two garages: Horner used to be Sergio Perez’s protege and team principal in the early 2000s, so Perez surely will be on Horner’s side, especially since it was Horner’s idea to invite Sergio to the team in 2021. The other side of the garage will be Marko’s and Verstappens’, although it is unknown if Max stays by his father in this conflict. It is not going to happen this week anyway. Once again, Red Bulls at Jeddah are impeccable - 2022 and 2023 showed it. Following the Saudi Arabia GP 2024 preview, Verstappen will lead again, and online sportsbooks in Australia vouch for his victory. Ferrari is predicted to do fine if the track and strategy allow it. It is safe to expect that they will take pole position, specifically Charles Leclerc, but still finish behind both Red Bulls. Mercedes, McLaren, and Aston Martin will engage in their own little battle for the rest of the point places. Here are the latest 22BET odds showing the most probable GP winners on Saturday, March 9th:
