Where is the Dutch Grand Prix taking place?
Formula 1 returns to Zandvoort for the first time in 35 years, with the last Grand Prix occurring in the beach-side Dutch town in 1985. The Zandvoort track is visually thrilling, with swooping corners and banks, as well as a long straightaway.
However, much has been made of the narrow track as it relates to overtaking. Like Hungary and Monaco, the most difficult tracks on the calendar to overtake on, there isn't much racing action anticipated here. Qualifying will be of the utmost importance but mistakes will be punished at Zandvoort, with its unforgiving layout.
F1 Dutch Grand Prix tips and picks
Tip: Fastest qualification and race win - Max Verstappen (+150)
Some of the coolest scenes of the F1 season have come in Austria and Belgium, where a heavy Dutch crowd have donned all orange and lit orange flairs to show their support for their country's megastar, Max Verstappen. They won't be traveling as far this time, with F1 returning to the Netherlands for the first time in Verstappen's career.
The title challenger, just a few points off Lewis Hamilton, will have a great chance at rewarding his rabid home support this weekend. Red Bull's superior downforce to Mercedes will be a huge advantage at the rollercoaster that Zandvoort appears to be, just as it was in Monaco, where Verstappen out-qualified Hamilton and won the race. Verstappen's odds to win the race (+110) are good enough as is, but qualifying will be crucial too, and there's no reason to expect success on just one of the two days.
Verstappen will put on a show for his home crowd and regain the championship lead.
Tip: Podium finish - Charles Leclerc (+400)
Let's try this again. We loved Leclerc's chances of standing on the podium at the Hungaroring, but after a solid qualifying that saw him finish 0.007 seconds short of starting on the third row, his race was ruined during a chaotic first lap. However, the same logic that had us believing in Leclerc in Budapest applies here. The Ferrari excels at circuits that require a lot of downforce, which should be the case at Zandvoort this weekend.
Leclerc was the fastest man around the track in Monaco, qualifying on pole, and looked to have excellent race pace at Hungary before his car was retired. With neither Red Bull's Sergio Perez or Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas in great form at the moment, there should be a podium place up for grabs. We like Leclerc to take it and earn his second podium of the season.
Tip: Both cars points finish - McLaren - No (+125)
Few things bring us less joy in F1 picks than fading the eminently likable Daniel Ricciardo, but here we are. The Aussie's first season with McLaren has been up-and-down, with his struggles adapting to a vastly different car well known by now. Every time he seemingly has a breakthrough, like a sixth-place finish at the French Grand Prix, there is a setback, like his 13th place finish at the Syrian Grand Prix that directly followed France.
Ricciardo's performances have been very much circuit-dependent, and that's bad news for McLaren fans ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix. Zandvoort appears to be the exact type of track that Ricciardo's not yet navigating well in the Papaya car. It will be crucial to carry speed through corners and Ricciardo has struggled to do that this year, with performances at Monaco and Austria particularly rough.
With Zandvoort being a completely new track to F1 fans and drivers alike, there is a lot of gray area going into the weekend, but the track tells us Ricciardo may struggle to perform here.

How to bet on Formula 1
The most popular way to bet on Formula 1 odds is by simply picking the winner of a particular race. Other popular F1 betting options include on which car/constructor will win and whether or not a particular race car driver will end up on the podium with a Top-3 finish.
F1 race odds usually look like this:
- Sebastian Vettel +650
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to profit $650 if Vettel wins that particular race. If one driver is especially dominant, you might see a minus sign (-) ahead of that driver's odds like this:
- Lewis Hamilton -175
This means that you would need to bet $175 to win $100 on Hamilton winning the race.
