Spanish Grand Prix: Picks, Predictions and Odds

After a confidence-boosting victory in Monaco last time out, Lando Norris was back to his best and looks capable of backing up that performance with victory at Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.

Norris admitted that he had struggled in recent races, watching on as his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri built up a lead in the Drivers’ Championship.

However, that success for Norris on the streets of Monte Carlo has seen the Brit narrow the gap to just three points in the standings ahead of a highly-anticipated Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya this weekend.

Spanish Grand Prix betting tips and predictions

Lando Norris to win (+175)

Speaking after taking the chequered flag in Monte Carlo, Norris said he was more pleased with his performance in qualifying than he was winning the Monaco Grand Prix itself.

Norris admitted he had been struggling to find his rhythm in recent races, but that seemed to return in Monte Carlo and he spoke of the momentum he has now built going into this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.

Finishing in second place at the Circuit de Catalunya last season, Norris has already shown he has improved since that last visit to Barcelona 12 months ago.

Buoyed by his performance in Monaco, Norris looks capable of going one place better than last year and is good value to be standing top of the podium this time around.

Charles Leclerc podium finish (+163)

Finishing second at his home race at Monaco last time out, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is also worth considering to feature on the podium again this weekend.

While Ferrari were hoping to be the main challengers to McLaren this season, the Scuderia find themselves down in fourth place in the Constructors' Championship.

The race for second place behind likely frontrunners McLaren looks like it could be a tight one, with just five points separating Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari going into this race.

Leclerc impressed last time out in Monte Carlo and another strong performance in qualifying should give the Monegasque racer the platform to achieve another podium finish and help Ferrari’s cause in the Constructors' Championship.

Kimi Antonelli top-six finish (+120)

After a promising start to life in Formula One, Kimi Antonelli has encountered the first significant challenge of his fledgling career.

The Mercedes driver, hailed as one of the brightest young talents on the grid, has shown composure and pace well beyond his years but the last two races have tested both.

The 18-year-old was forced to retire from his home race at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix due to a mechanical issue, a bitter blow in front of a hopeful Italian crowd.

Just a week later, Antonelli struggled to get in his groove on the tight streets of Monte Carlo, finishing a distant 18th in what was a difficult and frustrating weekend for both driver and the Silver Arrows.

Those setbacks have come in stark contrast to his earlier performances. Prior to the back-to-back misfortunes, the young Italian had impressed with five top-six finishes in the opening six rounds of the season.

Now, with those disappointments behind him, Antonelli will be eager to reset and regain momentum.

Both his natural driving ability and the competitiveness of the Mercedes package suggest he has every chance of doing just that.

As the calendar moves on, all eyes will be on the teenager to see if he can bounce back with a strong showing and return to the top six when the lights go out on Sunday.
