It is off to the Spanish Grand Prix 2017 on the weekend as the F1 season rolls on. Four races into the new season and Sebastian Vettel is still on top of the pile with his Ferrari after collecting two wins. Last time out at the Russian Grand Prix, Vettel couldn’t catch Valtteri Bottas in his Mercedes, the Finnish driver managing to go on and collect his debut win in the race. It wasn’t a great race for Lewis Hamilton who just couldn’t find the pace and he couldn’t figure out why.
Last year’s Spanish Grand Prix was a thriller with Max Verstappen putting in one of the drives of the season to land the win there. But you will have to stick with the Ferrari’s and the Mercedes cars for this one. This is a race which Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton have both only won once before in their careers. Vettel’s win was back in 2011 while Hamilton took the chequered flag in the 2014 season.
So this is a tricky one to call for Spanish Grand Prix betting. Lewis Hamilton is going as 13/8 favourite at Bet365 to take the win in this one, but at the moment, they Ferrari looks to clearly have an edge over the Mercedes team, even with Bottas winning in Russia. Vettel has the bit between his teeth at the moment and will have taken heart from Hamilton struggling so badly last time out and the German is running at a price of 9/5 with Bet365 to win the Spanish Grand Prix.
Perhaps what is most interesting about this is whether or not Hamilton actually has a new rising threat from Bottas, his new teammate. The Finn was struggling over the first few races of the season to really make a high impact against Hamilton and Vettel in particular but his win in Russia will add a new, fascinating aspect to the season as the European season drives on. Bottas became the third winner in four F1 races this season and now Bottas sits just the 10 points behind Hamilton in the Drivers’ Championship as the season heads to Spain. Hamilton trails leader Vettel by 13 points.

Spanish Grand Prix 2017 Prediction
It will be interesting to see how Hamilton responds to the Russian mire he was in. Was it just one of his off-weekends that of course happens to him as much as it does to any other driver? It raised some pressure on him though with Bottas taking the win, so you would imagine that there will be some fight back from the Brit. however, Ferrari’s Vettel still looks to have the edge and he can turn the screw on the title race with another win. He’s the value punt at Bet365 in Spanish Grand Prix 2017 betting.
