What are the odds for the win?

Lewis Hamilton took his second victory of the season last time out in Portugal while Max Verstappen who finished second. The question here in Spain is whether Verstappen can stop Hamilton's run of victories at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The odds for pole position

After three rounds, we have three different pole-sitters: Verstappen, Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. So one could consider the race for pole slightly harder to call.

However, this is Mercedes country once again, as Hamilton has taken every pole position at Catalunya bar 2019 – when his Silver Arrows team mate Bottas put it on P1.

What are the odds for a podium finish?

After the Portuguese Grand Prix, in which Hamilton, Verstappen and Bottas filled the podium for the 15th time in F1 – a new record for the most recurring podium trio – one could guess who's likeliest to land on the podium this time around.

But don't rule out Red Bull's Sergio Perez, nor Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. That trio have shown blistering pace recently and their odds for success have been shortened in the pole and win categories (above) too.
