BETTING ON FORMULA 1
Formula One (F1 or Formula 1) is the most important and fastest auto racing circuit which is held throughout the world and has fans from all countries. Even if motor sports generally don't attract so many bettors like football, tennis, basketball or other popular sports, we'll be discussing the betting possibilities delivered for these sports by most online bookmakers.
The inaugural season of Formula 1 was held at Silverstone (United Kingdom) in 1950 and was won by Emilion Giuseppe "Nino" Farina - who was the first to start an amazing wave of F1 champions, circuits and races all over the world. This auto racing circuit brought entertainment to millions of people and also to a big number of bettors who were able to place their bets on this sport to the betting agencies and later on to online betting sites.
First of all, when searching for Formula 1 events you need to know that most online bookmakers don't have a special category named "Formula 1" (with a few exceptions, such as BetVictor), so you need to enter "Motor Sports" or "Motor Racing" betting categories.
Betting on Formula 1 usually has less advantages than betting on football for example, because you are unable to watch live video transmissions, bet live or use cashback promotions, but the good thing is that you have the possibility of betting on your favorite drivers and on special betting markets by using any type of device (PC/tablet/smartphone).
Even if most online bookmakers don't offer too many markets (except for season outright bets for F1), if you take your time, you can discover online bookmakers with interesting markets. Here are some examples of betting markets which you can enjoy on Formula 1 events:
o Match betting/Group betting/Outright betting;
o Individual Team Points;
o Most Race Wins/Pole Positions/Fastest Laps/Podium Finishes;
o Individual Driver Points;
o Qualification Markets;
o Fastest Qualifying Stage;
o Highest Finishing Position;
o Finishing Position Markets;
o Winning car;
o Fastest Lap;
o First driver to retire;
o Handicap betting;
o Qualifying;
o Future/season bets.
Formula 1 is definitely a competition which always had and will always have a major word to say in the motor racing sports.
