F1 heads state side this week as the grid gets ready for the Miami GP at the Miami International Autodrome. Being one of the newest circuits on the calendar, there is a lot of excitement building up for the race and we will take a look at this week’s race from a betting angle and offer up some potential bets for consideration.

VERDICT
Lando Norris will be heading into this week looking to regain his lead in the Driver’s Championship. Last week after an unfortunate crash in Q3, he started 10th on the grid. After a brilliant drive he managed to claw his way up to fourth come the end of the race. Norris is also returning to a track with good memories after getting his first win last year in Miami. If he can put in a good qualifying, he stands a very good chance of winning the race and we have the insurance of the “money back for 2nd promo” – see details below.
Suggested Bet: Lando Norris to win at 2.40.
