Bet on the Australian Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton looks to be in prime shape to dominate this race and this series with Nico Rosberg retiring. Rosberg was the only real challenge Hamilton has had on the track the past few years. With him gone, the two-time winner of this race should be able to cruise to a third victory.
Sebastian Vettel has a chance to get back to competing for wins this year with Rosberg gone as well. He is a former winner of this race but coming off a winless 2016, which was surprising. Still, he is a four-time F1 champion and can still elevate his driving to compete with Hamilton. Today’s race will be telling for his future.
Valltteri Bottas can literally become the next Rosberg, as he is replacing him on term Mercedes. Bottas hasn’t had a great deal of success in F1 over recent years, but this team change instantly elevates him to a premiere level. While I don’t expect him to win, he should compete near the front and could grab a win if Hamilton slips up.
