Qatar Grand Prix Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last years race was brutal for drivers as the temperature was insanely high causing\u00a0 several drivers to get sick, and Logan Sargeant even retired from the race due to illness. This year’s race will not be as hot so I expect the drivers to be good here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drivers Championship has been decided with Verstappen locking up the title, but the teams will still be fighting for position in the Constructors Championship. Mercedes looked incredible last week, but this track and these conditions are very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Grand Prix Double Top 6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ferrari (-150)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think Ferrari could shine here as they managed a double top 4 last week despite their\u00a0 trouble with tyre wear. The McLaren\u2019s have regressed, and Verstappen isn\u2019t really racing for anything so this is a great chance for Ferrari to have a great showing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leclerc\u00a0finished 5th here last year, but Ferrari has improved this season and I wouldn\u2019t be\u00a0surprised to see one or both drivers near the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Grand Prix Last Classified Driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Valterri Bottas (+275)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhou surprised everyone with a 13th place qualifying run and finish which left his\u00a0teammate as the last place car running at the end, and I think that could happen again.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottas is probably retiring, but Zhou looked motivated last week, and the car looked\u00a0 solid (the colder temperatures helped him), and maybe that\u2019s where the Sauber\u2019s are putting resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sauber\u2019s are the slowest cars so if Bottas is running at the end\u00a0 he\u2019ll be last or very close to it again. This price is too good to pass up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Grand Prix: Top 4 Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Sainz (+125)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sainz has finished Top 3 in 3 out of the last 4 races, and outside of the disasterous race in Brazil, he\u2019s been a contender for podium so I love this price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before,\u00a0the McLaren\u2019s have fallen off, Verstappen has already wrapped up the Championship,\u00a0and the colder temperatures helped Mercedes a lot last week so I see a nice situation for Sainz and Ferrari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
